Vietjet makes 360,000 tickets available for Lunar New Year

(Ho Chi Minh City, 12 September, 2014) – To meet the inevitable demand for travel during the Lunar New Year holidays (known as Tết in Vietnam) in early 2015, Vietjet has already made 360,000 tickets for the holiday period available for purchase. Vietnam’s fastest growing airline will also soon welcome three more of the latest Airbus A320 aircraft to facilitate an increase in flight frequency for the holiday period.

“There is always a concern in the build up to Tết that there will be a ticket shortage or that tickets for flights on all routes will cost more than usual,” said Mr. Desmond Lin – Business Development Director of Vietjet. “That’s why we have opened up our first round of tickets for the upcoming Tết period now so customers can book well in advance and avail of our high quality flights at the best possible price. The more people save on travel expenses, the more they can enjoy the holiday with family and friends!”

Every year in Vietnam there is a huge surge in demand for air travel before and after Tết as Vietnamese living abroad or elsewhere in Vietnam head home to celebrate the long holiday with their families. In recent years, there has also been a spike in the number of Vietnamese taking holidays during Tết. As a result, Vietjet plans to increase its flight frequency accordingly so everyone can still “Enjoy Flying” at this busy time of year.

“By booking early, our customers can relax and look forward to enjoying their family reunion,” added Mr. Lin. “We look forward to helping our passengers from Vietnam and overseas “Enjoy Flying” during the most meaningful holiday of the year!”

To avail of the best possible fares, customers can book their ticket now by going to www.Vietjetair.com (compatible on smartphones as well) or www.facebook.com/Vietjetairvietnam (click on the tab “Đặt vé”). Customers can also call the Vietjet hotline (1900 1886) or visit their nearest ticket outlet.

Drinks and snacks are also available on the flight plus an array of amazing gifts and souvenirs.
