Do you know the most cost-effective tips for booking Tet flight tickets?
When is the best time to book your Tet flight tickets?
Domestic airlines such as Vietnam Airlines, Bamboo Airways, VietJet Air, Pacific Airlines, and Vietravel Airlines began selling Tet 2023 flight tickets as early as August to September 2022. In addition, various airlines have released special Tet promotions to give travelers more opportunities to book affordable tickets. According to the experience of many travelers, now is the perfect time to start researching and booking your tickets for Tet, as there are only about two months left until the Lunar New Year holiday.
Typically, as seen in previous years, domestic airlines will continue to release additional Tet flight deals from now until December. It is important to stay updated with information from airlines to secure your ticket. However, be cautious, as waiting too long increases the risk of higher prices or the tickets selling out as Tet approaches.
When is the best time to fly during the Tet holidays?
The official New Year's Day holiday schedule for 2023 for civil servants and workers includes two days off: Sunday (01/01/2023) and Monday (02/01/2023). For agencies and units that observe a Saturday weekend, employees will enjoy a continuous three-day break from Saturday (31/12/2022) to Monday (02/01/2023).
The Lunar New Year holiday schedule for 2023 gives workers a seven-day break, starting from January 20, 2023 (the 29th of the 12th lunar month in the Year of the Tiger) until January 26, 2023 (the 5th of the 1st lunar month in the Year of the Cat).
By knowing the Tet holiday schedule, travelers can plan to book their flights home 1-2 days earlier or later, either leaving for home ahead of time or returning to work a bit later/earlier. The goal is to avoid flying during peak times, when many other passengers are also choosing to fly, leading to high ticket prices and limited flight options. Additionally, airports tend to be overcrowded during these peak days, increasing the likelihood of flight delays due to congestion.
Choosing the right time to fly can help you save on airfare costs
Tips to help you save on airfare for Tet 2023
- For some airlines, when you book a flight on their website, the system often automatically adds extra charges like seat selection or insurance fees. If you don’t need these services, make sure to uncheck them.
- Pay attention to baggage policies. If you can purchase checked baggage when booking your ticket at a cheaper price, it's best to do so, as purchasing later or at the airport will incur higher costs.
- You should also consult with airline staff about baggage regulations, especially if you're carrying special items like food, pets, flowers, or plants, to ensure you have accurate information.
- Pack your luggage neatly and adequately, avoiding unnecessary excess. This not only helps keep things organized but also saves on luggage fees.
- If you're flying without elderly passengers or young children, opting for a night flight could be a smart choice. It allows you to save on ticket costs, as night flights are typically cheaper.
