Every Tet holiday, the demand for air travel among Vietnamese people skyrockets. For large families – from 4, 5 to 6 members or more – buying plane tickets during Tet is not just about choosing the travel date and destination. It also involves balancing costs, luggage, seating, convenience during check-in, and unexpected situations.

Large families often face many challenges when booking plane tickets during Tet.

Many families wonder: should they buy a single ticket for the whole family or separate tickets for each person for more flexibility? What is the optimal, easiest, and least risky way to do this during peak season? The article below will help you answer each question so you can make your own choice.

1. What difficulties do large families face when buying Tet tickets?

1.1 High ticket prices, difficult to find cheap tickets

Tet is the peak season for aviation in the year. Airfare usually rises with demand, especially on popular routes like Ho Chi Minh City - Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City - Central Vietnam, Hanoi - Southern Vietnam.

For large families, even a few hundred thousand VND increase in ticket price per ticket can significantly raise the total cost. Many people find cheap tickets for 1 - 2 people but cannot find enough seats for the whole family, forcing them to buy higher-priced tickets. This is why Tet tickets for families need to be planned earlier and more carefully than individual tickets.

1.2 A lot of luggage

Unlike short trips, journeys back home for Tet or traveling with family often involve carrying a lot of luggage. If you choose a basic fare that does not include checked baggage, the cost of purchasing additional luggage for each person can add up quickly. For large families, this is an easily overlooked expense that can inflate costs if not planned ahead.

1.3 Want to sit close together, convenient check-in - baggage drop

Families with children or elderly members often prefer to sit close together on the plane for easier care, conversation, and support when needed. However, if tickets are booked separately, the automatic seat allocation system may cause members to be seated far apart.

Additionally, checking in and dropping off luggage for the whole family becomes more complicated if each person has a different booking code. This is something that many families flying for the first time find confusing.

Ticket prices, luggage, and seating are crucial factors to consider when buying Tet tickets for the whole family.

2. Should you buy plane tickets for many people or separate tickets for each person?

In reality, there is no 'absolutely correct' option for every family. The choice between buying plane tickets for many people or separate tickets should depend on the specific needs of each family.

In general, if your family has 4 or more people, flying on the same day, on the same flight, and prioritizing convenience, booking group tickets during Tet in a shared purchase format is often the safer choice.

Whether to buy together or separate tickets has its pros and cons depending on each family's travel needs.

3. Suggestions for choosing the Deluxe fare class for Tet family travel

After considering whether to buy tickets together or separately, many families realize that the biggest challenge during Tet is not in the ticket booking process, but in how to ensure the whole family travels conveniently, with minimal issues and easy handling of changes. Especially in cases where tickets need to be purchased for others – such as booking tickets for grandparents, elderly parents, or relatives who are not tech-savvy – choosing the right fare class becomes even more important.

Instead of choosing the cheapest ticket and then having to purchase each additional service separately, many families view the Deluxe fare class as a comprehensive solution that addresses multiple common issues during the peak Tet season.

For large families, especially those with young children or elderly members, a smooth Tet flight requires more than just a simple ticket.

3.1 Why consider the Deluxe fare class during Tet?

• Checked baggage included with each ticket: Families returning home for Tet almost certainly carry more items than usual: gifts, items for children, personal luggage. When choosing the Deluxe fare class, checked baggage is already included, helping to avoid the situation of purchasing additional luggage for each person. This helps families save a significant amount of money.
• Seats can be chosen: With the priority to choose seats, families can easily arrange to sit close together, minimizing the situation of each person being in different places.
• Flexibility in changing tickets: Tet is a time when schedules can easily change: returning earlier than expected, staying longer, or needing to adjust flight times. Compared to the basic fare class, the Deluxe fare class usually has more favorable ticket change conditions, allowing families to proactively handle changes.

In other words, instead of booking the cheapest ticket and then accumulating baggage fees, seat selection fees, and ticket change fees, many families choose the Deluxe fare class to resolve all their concerns.
