Vietjet celebrates one year Down Under with flights from $165
Edited by Travel Weekly


    Vietjet is celebrating its first anniversary in Australia with an array of deals for Aussie travellers.

    From now until 17 March 2024, Vietjet is offering all-inclusive one-way fares from $165 for all Australian routes, including its recently announced route between Hanoi and Melbourne. The travel period is from 11 March 2024 to 31 May 2025.

    Passengers flying economy until 8 April 2024 will receive an exclusive deal of a complimentary hot meal and 20kg luggage allowance.

    For travellers who prefer a premium experience, Vietjet is offering an exclusive deal for Business and SkyBoss passengers. By using the code HAPPYBDAY50 while booking, passengers can enjoy a 50 per cent discount on their Business and SkyBoss class fares (exclusive of taxes and fees).

    This offer is valid for direct flights between Vietnam and Australia, as well as connecting flights between Australia and India via Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi.

    Vietjet’s anniversary sale coincides with the airline’s continued success and market leadership – despite only entering Australia in April 2023 with its inaugural routes to Sydney and Melbourne via Ho Chi Minh City.

    Vietjet’s inaugural routes were immediately followed by its Brisbane-Ho Chi Minh City route in June 2023, and Perth and Adelaide routes to Ho Chi Minh City in November 2023. Its latest route, Hanoi-Melbourne, was just announced in March 2024 – making it the largest Vietnamese airline operator in Australia. In total, Vietjet currently has 62 return flights in Australia per week – less than a year after entering the market.

    In 2023 alone, Vietjet continued to grow its flight network with 33 new international and domestic routes, including the five new routes in Australia (Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney), bringing the total number of routes to 125, including 80 international and 45 domestic routes.
