310 more flights to serve peak demand during Tet
VOV.VN - Vietnam Airlines Group has decided to increase an additional 310 flights with more than 66,200 seats in order to cater to the higher travel demand during the coming lunar New Year festival (Tet), the biggest of its kind in Vietnam.
Accordingly, the three domestic carriers of Vietnam Airlines Group - Vietnam Airlines, Pacific Airlines, and Vietnam Air Service Company (VASCO) - will operate a total of 12,374 flights, or 2.64 million seats, from January 25 to February 24.
The increasing demand will primarily be seen on major routes, including Ho Chi Minh City – Hanoi/Danang/Phu Quoc/Vinh/Thanh Hoa/Cam Ranh/Hai Phong/Quy Nhon/Hue/Da Lat, and vice versa.
Passengers are therefore advised to make their travel plans early and to purchase air tickets via official sale channels. They are also encouraged to use online and digital check-in methods to save time.
Tet is the largest traditional festival in Vietnam. This year, employees will have seven days off work, lasting from February 8 to February 14, 2024. However, people’s travel demand will increase considerably before and after these dates.
