Tips to Find Accommodation Online for September 2nd Holiday

The four-day September 2nd holiday prompts many to scour the web for flight tickets and holiday destinations. So, what's the most effective way to search?

Snagging Cheap Flight Tickets

This National Day holiday season, airlines are rolling out continuous promotional campaigns, offering cheap flight tickets for 'reverse' routes from tourist hotspots to major cities. They're increasing flight frequencies from major cities like Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City to tourist destinations. Or flights on days before or after the holiday when traveler demand is low.

These promotions mostly feature flight dates in late September or early October, or 'reverse' routes.

Promotional ticket sales, due to limited availability and low prices, are usually restricted by airlines to agent channels or released periodically on their websites at various times during the day, sometimes at noon, 2 pm, or 4 pm,... even midnight.

In addition, there are randomly assigned cheap fare routes, typically with early morning or late-night departures. It's quite challenging to squeeze into airline promotions to snag cheap tickets without thorough preparation.
Hence, online flight booking services like VNTic.vn become the go-to platform to find cheap tickets from various airlines suitable for your planned itinerary.

When selecting departure and return times, the system provides results with multiple flights, departure times, and ticket prices from different airlines, making it convenient to choose. Options range from low to high prices, flight times, etc., which can be actively searched, and the service will display corresponding lists if there are available seats, providing flexibility.

After selecting preferred tickets, the next steps include providing personal information such as name, ID card or passport number,... You need to pay attention to the allowed baggage weight (kg) for carry-on and checked baggage, corresponding to the ticket type you want to purchase. Additionally, consider booking a travel insurance package as it will be very helpful in common risk situations.

Booking Hotel Rooms Online

Aside from flight tickets, naturally, you wouldn't want to wander around searching for accommodation upon arrival. Booking hotel rooms is the next step right after successfully purchasing flight tickets. Moreover, booking hotel rooms online often comes with better discounted rates than booking directly.

When booking online, avoid falling for marketing factors like 'luxury rooms', 'luxurious accommodations' with 'budget-friendly prices'. It's crucial to thoroughly check the service quality by cross-referencing from various sources about the hotel.

Next, it's essential to consider the location of the desired hotel for convenience in transportation, from the airport and close to places like beaches, landmarks,...
You might book a cheap room, but the hotel is far from where you want to visit, and the travel expenses sometimes outweigh the initial savings.

In addition to foreign online booking services like Agoda.com, AsiaRooms.com,... Vietnamese travelers also know about Mytour or Chudu24.com.

A benefit of booking from domestic services for ordinary customers who are not fluent in foreign languages is the support from Vietnamese staff, who can be reached quickly via direct phone calls rather than emailing and waiting for responses.

The booking process is similar to booking flight tickets. You need to select the area where you'll stay, arrival and departure times. The online services' system immediately returns available hotels, prices, but... hold off on rushing and take a few minutes to gather more information about the hotel.

Additional information to consider includes: what services will be provided in the room and at the hotel when booking this room, check-in and check-out times, and pay attention to feedback from previous guests about this place. Feedback helps you understand the pros and cons of the hotel you want to book, thereby making a decision.

Finally, to make the trip more enjoyable, you should also look for additional dining, entertainment, and landmark locations in the area you want to visit.
