Below are suggestions from Mr. Tran Xuan Hoang, General Director of Bao Gia Tran Travel Service Trading Company Limited (HCMC), to help customers choose affordable airline tickets, including during the peak Tet holiday period.
1. Choose the right flight date and time
According to experience, flying midweek often helps you save significantly. Specifically, flights on Tuesday and Wednesday are often cheaper than on weekends (Friday and Saturday). According to statistics, being flexible with flight times can help passengers save from several hundred thousand to millions of VND/trip.
Besides, early morning flights (5:00 - 7:00) or late evening flights (21:00 - 00:00) often have more preferential fares, and the airport during these times is also less crowded.
2. Keep track of promotions
You should regularly follow promotional programs from airlines through reputable ticket booking websites and applications such as Vietnam Airlines, VietJet , Traveloka, TripBooking.vn, Google Flights, Abay.vn... On the ticket purchase website, passengers can click on the section to receive promotional information from the airline.
For example, VietJet has just launched the promotional code "Suppersale11" applicable to domestic flights from January 1 to 3, 2025, helping passengers save up to 0 VND for Eco class seats. Bamboo Airways also has a 10% discount program when entering the code "Midnight" for flights booked from 10pm to 2am the next morning.
3. Delete cookies and compare prices
A little-known trick to finding cheap tickets is to clear your cookies and compare prices across multiple platforms. When customers search for tickets multiple times on a website, the system can record their search history and inflate prices to create pressure to buy.
To avoid this situation, customers can delete cookies before each ticket search or use incognito browsing mode.
Also, don’t limit yourself to just one site. Comparison tools like Skyscanner, Google Flights, and TripBooking.vn will help you find the best fares from multiple platforms.
In addition, if customers fly during Tet, they should consider other flight options.
For example, instead of choosing a flight from Tan Son Nhat to Da Nang, when buying a ticket, you can consider flying from Can Tho airport to Da Nang (suitable for customers in the Mekong Delta region, because the distance from these provinces to Can Tho airport is closer than Tan Son Nhat).
Similarly, when traveling to Bangkok (Thailand), you can choose to fly to Don Mueang airport instead of Suvarnabhumi. Flights to Don Mueang can be up to 30% cheaper, and you only need to spend about 200 baht (~150,000 VND) to travel to the city center by taxi.
