According to the Vietnam Aviation Authority, on the golden route between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, the highest ticket price (excluding taxes and fees) offered by Vietnam Airlines in the first half of August was approximately 2.2 million VND one way, equivalent to 65% of the maximum rate. On other days and at different departure times, ticket prices are significantly lower, with the lowest being Vietravel Airlines’ price of 750,000 VND one way, equivalent to 26% of the maximum rate.
On the Hanoi – Danang route, the highest ticket price in the first few days of August was about 1.6 million VND one way, or 56% of the maximum. For departures on later dates, the airlines’ ticket prices are significantly lower, with many days offering prices at around 25% of the maximum rate. Vietravel Airline, in particular, offers a series of tickets starting at just under 300,000 VND one way, or 12% of the maximum rate (departing after 5 pm from August 5 to 13).
Another domestic route, Hanoi – Cam Ranh (Nha Trang), operated by Vietnam Airlines, had its highest ticket price on August 3, reaching nearly 2.5 million VND one way (72% of the maximum rate).

The Hanoi – Dalat route has maintained stability for most days, with ticket prices fluctuating between 30-40% of the maximum rate.
For the domestic tourism route with the longest distance, Hanoi – Phu Quoc, there are currently two operating airlines: Vietnam Airlines and Vietjet Air. Vietnam Airlines’ highest ticket price is 3.05 million VND, equivalent to 76% of the maximum rate. For other departure dates, the airlines offer tickets at 30-50% of the maximum rate.
Notably, for early or late departure times on later departure dates, Vietnam Airline offers tickets starting at 27% of the maximum rate (August 13-14), while Vietjet Air offers tickets starting at just 20% of the maximum rate for August 6-15.
According to the Vietnam Aviation Authority, some localities and travel companies have introduced accommodation support programs for passengers choosing to fly during late-night hours. This not only provides passengers with more options and helps reduce travel costs but also contributes to easing transportation pressure for airlines during daytime hours.
It is inevitable that ticket prices fluctuate and are usually higher for bookings made close to the departure date and lower for bookings made well in advance. This trend can occur at any time of the year.
The Vietnam Aviation Authority advises passengers choosing air transport to plan their trips and book tickets in advance through official channels to secure the most suitable ticket prices.
Passengers can also opt for early morning or late-night/overnight flights to take advantage of the airlines’ current promotional rates.
