Vietjet continues to increase its flight frequency to meet the high demand for travel between Australia and Vietnam, particularly during the upcoming year-end holidays.

To ensure travellers get the most out of Vietjet’s increased flights to and from Australia, the airline will continue to hold its weekly discounted fares until 31 December 2023 every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. On these days, fares start for as low as $165.

They are also automatically entitled to Vietjet’s Sky Care travel insurance package, which covers medical expenses incurred due to accidents or illnesses (including COVID), flight-related problems (including flight delay, baggage delay, baggage loss or damage, lost travel documents), and global travel and medical support services 24/7.

In addition, travellers can accumulate points when they sign up for Vietjet’s SkyJoy Loyalty Program, which they can use to redeem rewards for dining, shopping, and resort services from over 250 participating merchants.
