What is a Self Re-accomodation ?

For force majeure circumstances and to safeguard passengers' safety, Vietnam Airlines must adjust departure times earlier or later than scheduled. The Self Re-accommodation feature allows passengers to actively change flights to fit their schedules. Passengers are allowed to rebook once each time Vietnam Airlines sends a notification via mobile phone or by email. The time limit for passengers to rebook is 48 hours after receiving notification.

If there is no suitable flight, passengers may request a refund, which applies to tickets purchased on Vietnam Airlines' website/app and whose departure time is adjusted 4 hours earlier/later than scheduled.

For further information, passengers should see "Frequently Asked Questions" - "Buy tickets online" - "Self Re-accommodation".
