To celebrate the new domestic route, the low-cost airline will offer 2,000 free tickets on November 6-8. The travel period for promotional tickets is from November 25, 2014 to March 31, 2015.

The promotion is only available online, at www.Vietjetair.com (also compatible on smartphones) or www.facebook.com/Vietjetairvietnam (click “Đặt vé” tab). Payment can be easily made with Visa, MasterCard, JCB, American Express or any ATM card that has been registered for internet banking services.

The maiden flight will take off from Ho Chi Minh City on 25 November, 2014. The flight duration for this route is one hour and 55 minutes. The daily flight will depart Ho Chi Minh City at 9am and land in Thanh Hoa at 10.55am. On the return leg, the flight will take off at 11.30am in Thanh Hoa and arrive in Ho Chi Minh City at 1.25pm.

Thanh Hoa city is a fast-growing economic center of Thanh Hoa province, situated about 150km south of Hanoi. The area is well-known among Vietnamese for its attractive beaches and numerous cultural heritages.

With this new route, Vietjet will offer domestic tourists and businesspeople more choices at the best fares while introducing Thanh Hoa to international tourists.

“Travel demand between these two destinations is growing all the time both for tourism purposes and business. We also expect that many people who want to travel home from Ho Chi Minh City to Thanh Hoa during Tet (Lunar New Year) will be overjoyed to hear Vietjet has opened this new route. We are delighted that we can now offer thousands of Thanh Hoa people the chance to fly home for a happy family reunion at an amazing price,” Desmond Lin, VietJet’s Business Development Manager, told VietNamNet.

VietJet currently operates more than 770 flights per week. In Vietnam, VietJet has connected key economic regions such as HCM City, Hanoi, Hai Phong, and Da Nang. International flights include Singapore, Bangkok (Thailand), Seoul, Busan (Korea), Siem Reap (Cambodia) and Taipei (Taiwan) later this year.
