VietNamNet Bridge - The 127 winners of Vietjet’s “Spread the Love” program have been identified and they will receive great reward.

For one of Vietjet’s most special campaigns to date, dubbed “Spread the Love”, the airline asked residents of Vietnam and Taiwan to share their stories - the most moving or captivating stories – to be rewarded with a free ticket from Taipei to HCM City and a 50% discount off from HCM City to Taipei.

The airline was inundated with a multitude of incredible stories - some fascinating, others poignant, many inspiring, perhaps all deserving winners.

One story was about a man running his business in Taiwan; another was about a tourist who is passionate about exploring new lands and meeting new people. The airline also received a letter from a Vietnamese woman who has been struggling in Taiwan after moving away from her hometown in Vietnam.

In the end, 127 lucky customers were chosen as winners to board a special flight on 20 March, 2015 that will fly from Taipei to Ho Chi Minh City. This special, complimentary flight will mean a huge number of happy smiles as all of the lucky winners are reunited with their loved ones.

One lucky winner, Ms. Xuong Hoa, a Taiwanese businesswoman explained why she is so happy to return to Vietnam for her second visit.

“When I visited Vietnam a few years ago, I could not communicate in Vietnamese, but I fell in love with the people and the cuisine,” she said.

“I was also very impressed with the fast growing economy over there. Returning to Taiwan, I started to learn Vietnamese in the hope that I would one day run a new business in Vietnam. Thanks to this special flight offered by Vietjet, I will have a chance to visit Vietnam one more time so I can explore more business opportunities. Thank you Vietjet!”

Another passenger on this special flight will be the son of Ms. Kim Cuc, a young Vietnamese woman who married a Taiwanese businessman 10 years ago and relocated to her husband’s country.

“Even though I have been in Taiwan for 10 years, I have only returned to Vietnam a few times,” says Kim Cuc.

“I love Taiwan but I still want my kid to learn Vietnamese and meet his relatives so I am delighted to send him back to Vietnam for a family reunion with his maternal grandparents. My son has often asked me when he can he visit Vietnam for the first time and I am always upset when I have to tell him I cannot afford to take him back, so thank you Vietjet, from the bottom of my heart, for this incredible opportunity.”

The HCM City-Taipei route currently operates five round trips per week every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday with a flight duration of three hours and 25 minutes per leg.

On scheduled flight days, Vietjet will depart from Ho Chi Minh City at 2.30pm (Vietnam time) and arrive in Taipei at 6.55pm (Taiwan time). Coming in the other direction, a flight will take off in Taipei at 8pm (Taiwan time) and arrive in Ho Chi Minh City at 10.25pm (Vietnam time).

Moving forward, Vietjet will continue to expand its flight network in the near future by adding flights from Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi to Kaohsiung and Taichung in Taiwan, offering more flying opportunities with best possible services and unbeatable fares to businesspersons, tourists and expatriates returning for family reunions.

Vietjet - The first privately owned airline in Vietnam - is applying the operation model of a new age airline. With the fleet of 20 Airbus A320 aircraft, Vietjet now operates 150 flights per day, transporting eight million passengers in total so far. The airline is covering 28 local and international routes across the country and the region to Singapore, Thailand, South Korea, Taiwan, and Cambodia.
