Vietnamese airline sells Aussies $0 tickets for 24 hours
An international airline is slashing the price of its tickets from Australia to $0 for 24 hours – but there is a catch.
A Vietnamese budget airline will sell tickets to Australian travellers at a price of $0 for 24 hours.
Vietjet says millions of tickets will be available in its flash sale on Saturday and it will apply to flights across its entire domestic and international network.
Travellers can fly from Australia to Ho Chi Minh direct and on to locations like Tokyo, Bangkok and Singapore.
But there is a catch. Your flight won’t be entirely free.
Aussies will still need to pay for the taxes and surcharges, which can generally be about $100 to $200 on a one-way ticket.
The $0 tickets will be available for flights between September 18, 2023 and March 31, 2024.
They can be snapped up online from 3am Saturday, September 9 to 2:59am Sunday, September 10 (0:00 to 23:59 in Vietnam).
The discount will automatically be applied on Vietjet’s website and app.
Vietjet launched its first flights to Australia in April this year, starting with Melbourne Airport.
The airline is expected to expand its three weekly flights between Melbourne and Ho Chi Minh to a daily service by December next year.
Its Melbourne launch was followed by Sydney the week after and Brisbane in June.
Perth is scheduled to be added to the airline’s growing list of Australian routes in November.
There are talks about Adelaide and Darwin also joining in the coming year.
