Ticket prices for the 2023 Lunar New Year on the Ho Chi Minh City – Van Don route have surged dramatically, catching many by surprise.

January 2023 is considered a peak month, with two major holidays, the New Year and Lunar New Year. As expected, the cost of flights from Ho Chi Minh City to Van Don has skyrocketed.

According to Mytour.vn's ticket search system, the best available fare for this route is 199,000 VND one-way on January 5, 2023, and 99,000 VND one-way on January 26, 28, and 30, 2023. These fares, offered by VietJet Air, are limited in quantity and fall outside the peak travel period, making it likely that securing these tickets will be difficult for travelers.

Looking at the first half of January, leading up to the Lunar New Year, ticket prices saw a dramatic increase, reaching 2,849,000 VND one-way on certain days from January 15 to 20, 2023 (from the 24th to the 29th of the 12th lunar month). These fares were provided by Bamboo Airways, while earlier prices from VietJet Air were 2,410,000 VND and 2,610,000 VND.

The highest ticket price was found with the national carrier Vietnam Airlines, where fares during the Lunar New Year period reached 3,147,000 VND one-way.

The previously high ticket prices remained consistent until January 21, 2023 (the 30th day of the 12th lunar month in the Year of the Tiger). After that, a gradual decrease in prices began, and by January 26, 2023 (the 6th day of the 1st lunar month in the Year of the Cat), the lowest price dropped to just 99,000 VND for a one-way flight with VietJet Air.

Note: The ticket prices listed above are current as of December 23, 2022, and may change depending on the time of booking.

Thus, based on Mytour's assessment, the average ticket price for the route from Ho Chi Minh City to Van Don in January is notably high. If you must travel this month, consider booking your flight at the beginning or end of the month to save on costs. For those who have no choice but to fly during peak travel days, expect ticket prices to reach 2-3 million VND for a one-way flight.

At this point, it's clear that flight prices for the Tet holiday have increased and are unlikely to drop. Therefore, if you plan on flying, it's wise to make your decision quickly and book your tickets as soon as possible, as the longer you wait, the higher the prices will go.

With the information provided above, we hope that Mytour's customers will make wise choices for a smooth and pleasant flying experience during Tet. Don't forget to contact our hotline at 1900 2083 for assistance in quickly and effectively booking your flight from Ho Chi Minh City to Van Don.
