Survey of Tet flight ticket prices on November 5, 2023 for round-trip flights departing on February 9, 2024 (ie the afternoon of the 30th of Tet) and returning on February 16, 2024 (the 7th day of the Lunar New Year) Ho Chi Minh City - Hanoi of VietJet Air costs 5.5 million VND/ticket, Vietnam Airlines 5.9 million VND/ticket, Bamboo Airways, Vietravel Airlines 5.3 - 6 million VND/ticket.
For the route Ho Chi Minh City - Hai Phong, Vinh, Thanh Hoa, the price is 4 - 6 million VND/round trip ticket. Airfare has gradually increased when there was information about the Prime Minister's decision on the 2024 Tet holiday for seven days, from February 8 to February 14, 2024 (ie from December 29 to the 5th day of Tet).
According to airlines, a total of nearly 6 million tickets have been sold by domestic airlines, except for provincial flights with a large number of passengers, while main routes are still slow.
A representative of Vietravel Airlines said that this year's Tet tickets not only have competition between airlines, but also between the aviation market and the road and rail markets because workers are tightening their spending at the end of the year.
Some airlines are reducing their fleet from 30 planes to 11, some even have 3 planes... Renting additional planes for Tet is also facing many difficulties.
"This year, few airlines have the capacity to increase flights, while small airlines face challenges in leasing aircraft and stabilizing operations, so it will be difficult to increase frequencies. Not to mention, the number of customers buying tickets will increase sharply in the days before Tet when they receive their year-end salaries," said an airline.
Some airlines have started to make profits, but with resources "basically exhausted", there are fewer and fewer airlines offering promotions and discounts on domestic Tet flights. Input costs are increasing, so discounts on Tet tickets will be difficult to happen. Therefore, many airlines recommend that passengers who want to travel during Tet should buy tickets in advance to avoid running out of tickets and fewer desired flights...
