This includes daily return flights for the Ho Chi Minh City – Melbourne and Ho Chi Minh City – Sydney routes, while the Ho Chi Minh City – Brisbane, Ho Chi Minh City – Perth, and Ho Chi Minh City – Adelaide (via Perth) routes will all increase to 5 times a week.

From 21 November 2023, Vietjet will fly five times a week from Ho Chi Minh City to Adelaide every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday. The flights depart from Ho Chi Minh City at 06:35 (local time), stopover in Perth, and arrive in Adelaide at 21:10 (local time).

Vietjet continues to increase its flight frequency to meet the high demand for travel between Australia and Vietnam, particularly during the upcoming year-end holidays.

To ensure travellers get the most out of Vietjet’s increased flights to and from Australia, the airline will continue to hold its weekly discounted fares until 31 December 2023 every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. On these days, fares start for as low as $165.

They are also automatically entitled to Vietjet’s Sky Care travel insurance package, which covers medical expenses incurred due to accidents or illnesses (including COVID), flight-related problems (including flight delay, baggage delay, baggage loss or damage, lost travel documents), and global travel and medical support services 24/7.

In addition, travellers can accumulate points when they sign up for Vietjet’s SkyJoy Loyalty Program, which they can use to redeem rewards for dining, shopping, and resort services from over 250 participating merchants.
