To meet the needs of millions of passengers flying home at years’ end, Vietnam Airlines Group (including Vietnam Airlines, Jetstar Pacific, and VASCO) has officially opened flight ticket sales for the 2020 Lunar New Year, the Year of the Rat, on all domestic routes.
From January 9, 2020 to February 8, 2020 (or December 15 to January 15, according to the lunar calendar), Vietnam Airlines, Jetstar Pacific, and VASCO will offer a total of nearly 2 million seats across their domestic network. This will be an increase of more than 250,000 seats, equivalent to 1,100 flights, as compared to the corresponding period last year. Vietnam Airlines and VASCO will offer nearly 1.4 million seats in total, equivalent to 7,600 flights. Jetstar Pacific will also offer nearly 600,000 seats, on more than 3,000 flights. Depending on research and market demand, the three carriers will open more flights in the coming months to accommodate demand during the Lunar New Year.
Efforts are concentrated on increasing flights on routes with the greatest travel demand including Hanoi - Ho Chi Minh City/Vinh/Can Tho/Phu Quoc, and Ho Chi Minh City - Da Nang/Hai Phong/Thanh Hoa/Vinh/Dong Hoi/Hue/Pleiku/Quy Nhon/Buon Ma Thuot/Nha Trang/Phu Quoc. Vietnam Airlines Group domestic routes are operated using state-of-the-art aircraft such as Boeing 787-9, Boeing 787-10, Airbus A350-900, A321neo, and A321, delivering the highest quality service according to Skytrax 4-star standards.
To meet the needs of all passengers, Vietnam Airlines Group will continue to offer fares within a wide price range. Lunar New Year flight tickets are available for sale four months in advance to make it convenient for passengers to plan ahead when purchasing tickets for the holiday. Making travel plans early also ensures travelers have reserved their seats during peak travel times.
Vietnam Airlines Group recommends purchasing tickets via their official websites, affiliates, and ticket offices. Passengers should also request invoices, according to regulations, to avoid fraudulent or marked-up tickets. Vietnam Airlines passengers will use the new baggage allowance system, by piece, effective from August 1, 2019, which effectively replaced baggage allowance by weight.
