National flag carrier Vietnam Airlines will provide more than 400,000 seats on domestic routes from September 1 to September 4 to meet the travel demands of passengers during the upcoming National Day holiday on September 2.
The figure represents an increase of more than 50% compared to the same period back in 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic hit.
According to a representative of Vietnam Airlines, the growth rate clearly reaffirms the rapid recovery made by the domestic aviation market after a long time of suspension caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The representative added that rising demand largely focuses on major routes between Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang to places such as Quy Nhon, Nha Trang, Phu Quoc, and Da Lat, noting that Vietnam Airlines will continuously update market demand and flexibly adjust flights in a bid to meet the customers’ demand for the occasion.
Previously, Vietnam Airlines Group, consisting of Vietnam Airlines, Pacific Airlines, and VASCO, started selling tickets early for the Tet period from January 6, 2023, to February 5, 2023. These tickets went on sale from August 15 for the entire domestic and international flight network,
Vietnam Airlines therefore recommends that passengers purchase tickets through websites, mobile applications, ticket offices, and official agents, as well as asking for receipts to avoid buying fake tickets or tickets at inflated prices.
In order to save check-in time, passengers should also check-in in advance via the Vietnam Airlines website, the mobile application, or at self-check-in kiosks located at Noi Bai, Da Nang, and Tan Son Nhat airports.
