According to the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism, airlines have recently made efforts to optimize their fleets and service personnel, and increase the number of night flights, thereby contributing to lowering airfare prices. However, night flights have not been truly attractive to passengers, and many have been canceled. The Department of Tourism believes that cooperation from all relevant parties is needed to make night flights more appealing to passengers.
Therefore, the city's tourism industry, in coordination with Vietnam Airlines Corporation, travel agencies, and accommodation establishments, has agreed to develop a set of night flight packages, encouraging tourists to use these products during the peak summer tourist season.
Tourists flying to Ho Chi Minh City on night flights will receive free or up to 80% off hotel rooms, causing excitement among many travel enthusiasts. Furthermore, those wishing to work or visit relatives in this vibrant city are also delighted by this news.

This is a move aimed at meeting the growing travel demand during the peak summer travel season of 2024, while also addressing daytime congestion at airports.
The program aims to meet the increased travel demand of people during the peak summer season of 2024 and also serves as a tourism stimulus for the city, attracting more visitors.
Specifically, Vietnam Airlines encourages tourism accommodation establishments to participate in developing product packages that combine air tickets at reasonable prices, especially for flights departing before 6 am and after 9 pm. Participating establishments will receive a free or 80% discount on the first night, provided the minimum stay is 3 nights.
To date, 16 tourist accommodation establishments in Ho Chi Minh City have registered to participate in the plan, offering discounts ranging from 20% to 100% on the first night's room rate based on the listed price. From the second night onwards, the listed price will apply, or a 60% discount will be applied (the policy and conditions vary depending on each establishment).
Tourists arriving in Ho Chi Minh City on night flights are entitled to free or up to 80% off hotel rooms.
Muong Thanh Luxury Saigon Hotel (Phu Nhuan District, Ho Chi Minh City) offers a 45% discount on the first night's room rate, with the standard rate applicable from the second night onwards. Guests also receive a complimentary one-way airport transfer by 7-seater vehicle between 10 AM and 10 PM on the day of check-out (provided they stay a minimum of 3 nights).
Liberty Central Saigon Hotel system (3 locations: Riverside, Citypoint, Centre) offers a 50% discount on the first night's room rate; from the second night onwards, the standard rate applies.
According to the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism, based on registrations from 16 businesses, Vietnam Airlines will proactively contact and work with them to develop combo packages including round-trip air tickets and 2 or 3 nights' hotel stay in the city, aiming to attract more tourists in 2024.
Previously, Da Nang – the first locality to launch a travel combo model linking airlines and hotels – announced combo packages from June to September, priced from 2.89 to 3.49 million VND. This combo includes round-trip airfare with Vietjet or Vietnam Airlines and two nights at a 3-5 star hotel, as well as airport transfers, with flights scheduled at night from 11 PM to 6 AM.
