National flag carrier Vietnam Airlines will resume the non-stop air service connecting Da Nang with Bangkok, Thailand, on 27 October. Departures will take place daily from Da Nang at 3:20pm and from Bangkok at 6:00pm.

Besides, the carrier will open direct air routes on 27 October connecting Ho Chi Minh City with two of the region’s most famous tourist destinations, namely Bali in Indonesia, and Phuket in Thailand in order to meet the rising travel demand.

The new air services are expected to offer passengers various departure time options.
The Ho Chi Minh City–Bali air route will conduct 7 flights per week. However, in the initial period from 27 October to late March 2020, its flight frequency will be 5 flights per week due to the limited capacity of the Bali-based Denpasar International Airport.

Flights are scheduled to depart from Ho Chi Minh City at 11:10am and from Bali at 4:50pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays.

This will be the carrier’s second air route linking Viet Nam and Indonesia, after the Ho Chi Minh City-Jakarta air route, which was launched in December 2012, with a frequency of 7 flights per week.

On the soon-to-open Ho Chi Minh City-Phuket route, the airline is set to operate 3 flights per week, with departures from Ho Chi Minh City taking place at 3:50pm and from Phuket at 6:40pm on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.

The number of flights operating on this route is expected to increase to 7 per week in late March 2020.

The modern Airbus A321 aircraft meet 4-star service standards will be utilised on the new air routes.

In particular, a promotional programme that offers customers a 50% discount on return tickets will be launched.

In detail, from 20 September to 30 November, return tickets on the Da Nang-Bangkok route can be purchased at a preferential price from 15 US$ ( 360,000VND).

From 20 September to 10 November, passengers will be able to purchase round-trip tickets on the Ho Chi Minh City–Phuket route with a starting price from just 19US$ (455,000 VND), and on the Ho Chi Minh City-Bali route from 69US$ (1,650, 000 VND).

Promotional tickets will be accompanied by conditions regarding the departure time and exclude taxes and fees.
