Travel Good News: Vietjet has spiced up the Vietnam-Australian airfares market.

If the Qantas/Jetstar tale of woe is getting you down, perhaps try a different option: Vietjet, Vietnam Airlines and Bamboo Airways, have direct flights between Sydney/Melbourne and Hanoi/HCMC.

Vietjet says that from today (March 6) “any passengers who fly on Vietjet from Sydney and/or Melbourne to Ho Chi Minh City will be eligible for free connecting flights departing from Ho Chi Minh City to other destinations within Vietnam, such as Hanoi, Da Nang, Nha Trang, Phu Quoc, and many others”.

Vietjet also has $200 AUD economy promotional fares until October 25, and discounts on business-class fares.
