Vietnam Airlines offers 400,000 seats during National Day
VOV.VN - Vietnam Airlines Group, which comprises Vietnam Airlines, Pacific Airlines, and Vietnam Air Services Company (VASCO), has announced that it will provide nearly 400,000 seats on domestic routes during the upcoming National Day on September 2, representing a rise of 15% compared to previous holidays.
The group will also open for sale more than 155,000 seats on international air routes, representing a two-fold rise higher than the same period from last year, to meet increasing travel demand of those who choose foreign destinations for their holiday.
Within the domestic market, there remains high travel demand on air routes between Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Nha Trang, and Phu Quoc.
Vietnam Airlines will continuously offer updates on market demand and make flexible adjustment of flights in order to meet the highest travel demand during the peak period from August 31 to September 5.
In addition, this year's airfares will be sold in a flexible manner according to the market law of supply and demand. At present, local airlines have yet to increase flights, although airfares for the upcoming holiday period are showing signs of decreasing.
Specifically, round-trip air tickets for flights from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to popular destinations such as Phu Quoc, Da Nang, Con Dao, Lam Dong, Dak Lak, and Nha Trang will be reduced by between VND1.2 million and VND1.8 million per ticket compared to late July when passengers purchase tickets during the peak summer holiday.
The national flag carrier recommends that passengers purchase air tickets on the airline’s official website, through mobile applications, at ticket offices, or through agents, while using online check-in to avoid crowds building up at the airport on this occasion.
