Flight prices during the days just before Tet and the final days of the holiday are often very high, and tickets can be scarce. Consider booking flights before or after those peak days.

You can also choose late-night, early-morning, or late-afternoon flights, as they are usually cheaper.

3.4 Check Baggage Services

It’s advisable to carefully review each airline’s carry-on baggage policies to avoid unexpected charges.

If you have a lot of luggage, consider purchasing additional checked baggage allowance before departure to get a better rate than buying it at the airport.

3.5 Be Flexible with Destinations

Sometimes, taking connecting flights or being flexible with your destination can offer cheaper options.

You can apply this trick by choosing less popular routes that are less likely to be fully booked. It’s also a great opportunity to enjoy a short trip and explore new destinations.

Locate your boarding gate: Keep an eye on the information screens to identify your correct boarding gate and make sure you board on time.
Collect your luggage: During peak travel times, the amount of checked baggage increases significantly. Make sure to check carefully and collect the correct luggage to avoid mix-ups or missing bags.
Monitor traffic updates around the airport: On peak travel days, traffic congestion around airports is common. To avoid disruptions to your schedule, stay updated on the traffic situation and plan your travel accordingly.
