Copenhagen – the heart of Denmark is one of the most livable cities in Europe, standing out as the leading economic, cultural, green technology and tourism center in the region. It is also the largest air gateway in Northern Europe and the main hub of Scandinavian Airlines – a member of the SkyTeam alliance with Vietnam Airlines, helping passengers easily connect to neighboring countries such as Sweden, Norway and Finland through a synchronized transit system.

On the occasion of opening a new route, Vietnam Airlines is offering a series of attractive promotions. When purchasing tickets from now until July 15, 2025, passengers will have the opportunity to buy round-trip tickets for only VND 20,999,000 (including taxes and fees), applicable to flights departing during the route's opening month.

During the first three months of operation, passengers will also receive a 30% discount on additional services such as prepaid baggage, seat selection and service upgrades. In addition, the airline offers card gifts, free upgrades and mileage bonuses for Golden Lotus Plus members depending on the seat class.

The Ho Chi Minh City – Copenhagen route not only opens up a new option for passengers, but also continues to affirm Vietnam Airlines’ pioneering role in connecting Vietnam with the world. With this step, the airline aims to expand its presence in Northern Europe – a market with great potential and year-round travel demand, while contributing to raising the position of the national airline on the international map.

In 2025, Vietnam Airlines plans to open and restore 15 new international routes to many key markets such as Italy, Russia, China, UAE, Japan, Korea, India, etc. These routes not only promote economic and tourism connections, but also promote Vietnam's image to the world, contributing to realizing the country's goal of welcoming 22-23 million international visitors.
