The most budget-friendly domestic flights in Vietnam are usually during March - April and September - October, known as the low season. December and January, on the other hand, tend to be the most expensive due to holiday demand.

Each airline offers its own set of advantages and disadvantages, catering to different preferences and budgets. Below are some suggestions for airlines in Vietnam.

  • Vietnam Airlines: As the national flag carrier, it has a long-standing reputation for reliability and service. While offering an extensive route network, its ticket prices may be higher compared to budget airlines.
  • Vietjet Air: Known for its low-cost fares and vibrant branding, it serves a wide range of domestic destinations. However, travelers should be aware of additional fees for luggage and seat selection.
  • Bamboo Airways: Offers competitive pricing and modern amenities. Despite a more limited route network, it provides comfortable cabins and good customer service.
  • Pacific Airlines: This airline focuses on reliability and affordability. While offering reasonable ticket prices, it may have fewer amenities and a more limited route network compared to larger carriers.

 

It depends on the conditions set by the airline or the ticket class you've booked. Therefore, it's best to contact your travel consultant to inquire about the specific policies and procedures for refunds or changes. They will be able to provide you with the necessary assistance and guidance based on your individual circumstances and the terms of your booking.
