This will bring the total seats on flights operated by the Vietnam Airlines Group during the traditional holiday to 2.4 million, equivalent to nearly 12,000 flights.

The group will increase the frequency of domestic flights between Hanoi and HCM City/ Da Nang City/ Phu Quoc island/ Nha Trang city/Da Lat city/ Vinh city, and HCM City and Da Nang City/Thanh Hoa/ Vinh city/ Hue city/ Quang Nam province/ Quy Nhon province/ Buon Ma Thuot city/Nha Trang city/ Phu Quoc island/ Da Lat city.

The group said many flights have been 50-90 percent booked.

Passengers are advised to book tickets via the group’s official channels such as websites or ticket agents, and request an invoice to avoid buying fake or overpriced tickets.

In order to save time, passengers should carry out the check-in process in advance through telephone, website, mobile application or kiosks at airports.
