Tips for finding cheap Tet air tickets to the hometown via Bangkok
As early as September, Vietnamese airlines began selling Tet tickets. Including taxes and fees, for each leg of long-haul flights such as HCMC - Hanoi, passengers will have to pay from 3 to 5.5 million VND. This price has been consistent across both national airlines and budget airlines, and has hardly changed in the past 5 years.
Breaking through conventional thinking, if you are a traveler with personality, be bold and confident in choosing an interesting way to return to your hometown for Tet as suggested by Mytour. Instead of booking a direct flight from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi for over 3 million VND, book 2 legs: Ho Chi Minh City - Bangkok and Bangkok - Hanoi.
During the period of flying from February 1st to February 7th (meaning from the 23rd to the 30th of the Lunar New Year month), customers flying from HCMC to Hanoi can transit through a third point, Bangkok, with airlines such as AirAsia or Nokair.
If flying with AirAsia, passengers may only spend about 1.7 million VND for both legs, or 1.2 million VND with a Nokair flight. Moreover, if able to secure a mixed ticket from both airlines, passengers may only need to pay about 50 USD (equivalent to 1 million VND) to fly back to Hanoi from HCMC on February 3rd.
When opting for a transit flight instead of a direct one, customers may have to accept a journey lasting 2-3 days, overnight at the airport, or pay extra for a hotel in Bangkok. However, due to the cost difference of up to a million VND, it's enough to cover a short trip right at the connecting point.
To avoid the risk of a late take-off from HCMC, remember to book a late Bangkok - Hanoi flight half to a full day later than the scheduled landing time of leg 1. In case the flight takes off and lands on time, you'll have an extra half-day to explore Thailand. What could be better for a simple, cheap combined trip!
However, not every boy or girl is brave enough to undertake this journey. Because it's not as simple as getting on a plane from HCMC and landing in Hanoi 2-3 hours later; because it requires a bit of courage, a lot of dynamism, and a personality to handle any situation that may arise.
When stopping to rest in Thailand, be enthusiastic about visiting famous places there within the allowed time. Surely, this will be an even more exciting experience for you.
