Booking flight for Vietnam
Book Vietjet flight to Vietnam
Personally used✅ Try booking early, you can get prices as low as ₹6,000
✅ ~₹5,000 is tax on every ticket hence prices can't go lower than that
✅ Extra ~₹2,000 for checked-in luggage
✅ If you plan to travel the entire country, try checking the cheapest current route eg: Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh, Da Nang.
❌ Booking via the Vietjet site from July 2023 will incur 20% TCS. Opt for an Indian booking site that makes INR payments. Disable international transactions to prevent USD payment. [Note: Not applicable if your annual international spending on credit cards is less than INR 7 Lakhs.]
❌ Food in plane is expensive, you can even carry some airport food in flight.
Book Indigo flight to Vietnam
Personally used✅ Cheaper flights on weekends than Vietjet
✅ More comfortable seats than Vietjet
✅ In-flight services accepts INR and USD, whereas Vietjet accepts VND and USD
✅ Payment gateway for booking flight tickets accepts American Express unlike Vietjet
✅ You can use Reward cards like Indigo ka-ching whereas Vietjet doesn’t have any partner program with any Indian credit card
✅ Takes their add-on services like priority check-in very seriously unlike Vietjet which at times denies this service at times even when charging for it.
✅ No extra charge for checked-in luggage unlike Vietjet
✅ No 20% TCS since INR payment occurs via the Indigo website.
❌ Flights from Delhi/Mumbai to Vietnam are not direct, rather via Kolkata. Vietjet has direct flights from Delhi/Mumbai to Vietnam.
