According to statistics from the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam, the total number of flights that airlines are expected to operate during the peak period of September 2 (from August 31 to September 5) is more than 5,300 flights with a total of 1.06 million seats, an increase of about 20% compared to the normal period and a slight decrease of 3% compared to the same period in 2022.
As of August 18, the occupancy rate during the September 2 holiday period (August 31 - September 5) on trunk routes as well as tourist routes remains low, with the remaining supply of seats still abundant.
A survey of online ticket sales systems during the National Day holiday on September 2nd shows that airfares have remained almost unchanged. There are still many vacant seats on domestic airlines.
Airfare prices on September 2nd do not fluctuate much.
Specifically, for the Ho Chi Minh City - Hanoi route on September 1, Vietjet sells tickets from 1.6 million VND/way. Meanwhile, for the Hanoi - Nha Trang route on the same day, Vietnam Airlines sells tickets from 2 million VND/way. This price is higher than normal days, but equivalent to the peak days of the past summer.
The average round-trip airfare from Hanoi to Phu Quoc (including taxes and fees) is about 3.4 million VND/ticket.
For the Hanoi - Da Nang flight, the round-trip airfare is about 3.4 million VND. The Hanoi - Nha Trang flight is about 3.6 million VND, and the Hanoi - Quy Nhon flight is 4 million VND.
Notably, the price of a round-trip ticket from Hanoi to Tuy Hoa (Phu Yen) is up to 6.4 million VND, the most expensive on September 2. The reason is that only Vietnam Airlines is operating, Vietjet Air has stopped flying.
Round-trip ticket price (including tax and fees) from Ho Chi Minh City to Da Nang is on average 3 million VND/ticket. Tickets for the Ho Chi Minh City - Nha Trang route range from 2.6-2.8 million VND. Tickets for the Ho Chi Minh City - Phu Quoc route range from 2.5 million VND on average and for the Ho Chi Minh City - Hanoi route from 3.35 million VND.
The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam said that, up to now, airfare prices for the National Day holiday on September 2 remain stable, not much different from the peak summer period.
In the days leading up to the September 2nd holiday, airfares for some routes have also shown a downward trend. For example, VietJet Air is offering a ticket price of 1.62 million VND for the Ho Chi Minh City - Hanoi flight on September 1st, equivalent to the price of the same flight on August 29th.
Vietnam Airlines has a ticket price for the Hanoi - Cam Ranh flight on September 1 at 2 million VND, compared to 1.6 million VND for the same flight on August 30...
