Tips for a cheap flight to Vietnam

Vietnam is justifiably one of the favourite travel destinations in South East Asia. In addition to its breathtaking landscapes and rich history, the country has many interesting sights to offer.

In this article, we'll show you what to look out for when booking your flight to Vietnam and give you tips on how to save money.

Choose flexible travel dates

The chosen travel date can have a significant influence on the flight price. The fares vary not only with the holiday periods, but also with the days of the week and even the time of day.

To save money, it is generally worth looking for departures in the middle of the week and paying attention to flight times.
In general, avoid expensive flights over Christmas or New Year's Eve, but also during the peak holiday season between January and April.

Book well in advance

To get a good value offer, you should book your flights several months in advance if possible. As a rule, prices rise as the departure date approaches.

Compare prices

Use flight comparison platforms when searching. This way you can quickly see the prices of different airlines and easily compare the offers.

Tip: Use the incognito mode in your browser when searching for flight prices, as the airlines can adjust the prices based on your search history.

Select airport for departure and arrival

Check the prices for different airports, both the departure airport and the destination airport. Sometimes there are price differences and then it is even worth taking a longer journey.

Keep an eye on offers & newsletters

Keep an eye out for special promotions or subscribe to the airline newsletter so that you are regularly informed about offers and the latest discount promotions.

Compare airline fares

Services that are included in the price with one airline may be charged extra with another airline.

It is therefore generally advisable to compare the services and extra costs in advance so that there are no surprise additional payments later on.

Collect miles and points

Are you a member of a frequent flyer programme or do you even have a credit card with which you can collect travel bonus points? Then take a look to see if you already have enough points to exchange for flight discounts.
