Over 9,300 early birds snap up VietJetAir tickets for just 3,000 dong of mega-sale

(Ho Chi Minh City, August 22) – On August 21, 2013, the first day of VietjetAir’s latest incredible promotion, 9,385 lucky customers snapped up air fares for only VND 3,000. But don’t worry if you missed out, this campaign is running until 19 September.

For the next 29 days, travelers can book these amazingly discounted seats via the airline’s easy-to-use website (www.VietjetAir.com) using credit and debit cards from 21 major banks in Vietnam.

The promotion applies to both domestic and international flights departing from 5 September, 2013 to 31 December, 2014. In addition, lucky customers will receive adorable collectibles from Planes, the newest animated feature from Disney’s Pixar studio.

In total there are 300,000 discounted air fares up for grabs over a period of 30 days – this lengthened promotional period was introduced to avoid a bottleneck on the airline’s website, which inevitably experiences huge surges of traffic in the first few hours after a mega-sale opens. This time around, customers found accessing the website and booking a ticket fast and easy.

“I was delighted to get online and purchase a ticket from Hanoi to Bangkok for just VND3,000 – that price is just too good to be true!” said Ms Tran Thu Ha, an accountant from an auditing firm in the capital. “I went online within hours of the sale opening but booked my flight for a holiday in April next year. Actually, I was a little surprised how easy it was! I will stay on the lookout for more opportunities to buy cheap tickets for my friends.”

After bagging VND3,000 tickets from Hanoi to Danang, Mr Phan Dang Viet, another customer from the banking sector in Hanoi, revealed his personal tip for promotions. “I went online to VietjetAir’s website at 9am on 21 August and completed my booking of a return flight with promotional fares very swiftly,” he said. “It was definitely easier than before. I also think the key is to subscribe to the airline’s e-newsletter and ‘like’the VietjetAir Facebook page so you get first wind of when upcoming promotions open.”

The airline devised this eye-catching promotion to coincide with celebrations for flying over three million passengers, according to Desmond Lin, Director of Business Development.  

‘To honor this milestone of flying with three million customers, we decided to create 300,000 flying opportunities for customers to buy tickets at just VND3,000,” said Lin. “What makes this promotion special is you can fly anywhere you want for that price and you can fly anytime between now and the end of 2014. This is probably the most flexible mega-sale in the history of aviation!”

Lin acknowledged that the website had been flooded by previous sales so the airline had worked incessantly in recent months to improve the quality of the website and e-ticketing service to remove the potential for bottleneck.

“For an unprecedented period of 30 days, customers are guaranteed to experience an efficient and smooth booking process,” added Lin.“We would like to congratulate our first ticket purchasers in the opening of this mega sale and to our loyal supporters and all the enthusiastic discount-hunters out there, we would like to assure you there are tens of thousands more opportunities to buy a ticket for just VND3,000 in the coming weeks.”
