Unlock Cheap Tet 2018 Flight Tickets with This Simple Trick

As early as September, Vietnamese airlines have begun selling Tet tickets. Including taxes and fees, each one-way flight on traditional routes such as Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi will cost passengers from 3 to 5.5 million dong. This price remains consistent across both national carriers and budget airlines, and has hardly changed for many years.

Think outside the box. If you're a traveler with personality, be bold and confident in choosing a fun Tet holiday plan suggested by Mytour. Instead of booking a direct flight from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi for over 3 million dong, book two legs: Ho Chi Minh City to Bangkok and Bangkok to Hanoi, or Ho Chi Minh City to Kuala Lumpur and Kuala Lumpur to Hanoi.

During the period from February 5th to February 15th (from the 20th to the 30th of the lunar calendar), passengers flying from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi can detour through a third destination like Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur with airlines like AirAsia or Nok Air.

Fly with Nok Air and you'll spend around 1.4 million VND for both legs, while with AirAsia it's about 1.7 million VND. Interestingly, if you manage to get a combined ticket from both airlines, you might only have to pay about 50 USD (over 1 million VND) to fly back to Hanoi from Ho Chi Minh City during this period.

Opting for a layover instead of a direct flight might extend your journey by 2-3 days, requiring overnight stays at the airport or additional expenses for a hotel at the destination. However, due to the significant difference in ticket costs, this amount is enough to cover a short excursion at the layover point.

To avoid the risk of a delayed departure from Ho Chi Minh City, remember to book a late Bangkok – Hanoi or Kuala Lumpur – Hanoi flight, at least half a day to a day after the scheduled landing time of the first leg. If the flights depart and arrive on time, you'll have an extra half day to explore. What could be better for a simple yet budget-friendly trip!

However, not every guy or girl is brave enough to embark on this journey. It's not as simple as boarding a plane from Ho Chi Minh City and landing in Hanoi two hours later. Choosing this route requires a bit of courage, a lot of dynamism, and a personality to handle any situation that may arise.

While stopping over in Thailand and Malaysia, make the most of your time to visit famous landmarks within the allowed time frame. Undoubtedly, this will be an incredibly exciting experience for you.
