5 Tips to Book Cheap Flights from Australia to Vietnam

Book Tickets Online

Booking your tickets online offers a convenient and cost-effective way to find the best deals. Vietnam Airlines' website and mobile app provide a user-friendly platform where you can compare prices across multiple airlines, select your preferred flights, and complete the booking process with just a few clicks. Online platforms often offer special promotions and discounts, particularly for early bookings or package deals that include flights and accommodations.

Plan and Buy Tickets Early

By opting for this strategy, you not only save money but also have the chance to allocate sufficient time for thorough preparation. 

Vietnam Airlines frequently offers a 5% discount on fares for passengers who book flight tickets early, at least 150 days prior to departure. Thanks to that, you have a higher chance of securing tickets at a lower price compared to last-minute bookings when prices tend to be higher.

Early booking also allows you to have a better selection of seats. You can choose seats that suit your preferences, such as window seats, aisle seats, or seats with extra legroom. This is especially beneficial for long-haul flights, where comfort is important.

Avoid Booking Tickets on Major Holidays in Vietnam

Lunar New Year (Tet) - around January and February, Reunification Day (April 30), Labor Day (May 1), and National Day (September 2), are peak travel periods in Vietnam. Thus, demand for air transport will increase during the periods of the year because Vietnamese people have trips to visit their families, travel to tourist attractions on vacations, or participate in festivities, etc.

By booking either domestic or international flight tickets, or both, as soon as possible, you increase your chances of securing the desired tickets before they become sold out. This proactive approach ensures a smoother travel experience during peak periods.
