On October 27, Vietnam Airlines (VNA) announced it would offer a promotional programme, “The same-price flight”, for flights between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC).

Accordingly, passengers can fly from Hanoi to HCMC and vice versa with the same price of VND 1.45 million, excluding taxes and additional fees, a 34 percent decrease against normal tariffs.

The carrier will sell all tickets at a low fare with booking in Q class on flights VN 1171 departing from Hanoi to HCMC at 10 pm and VN 1166 from HCMC to Hanoi at 5.30 am.
