Vietnam Pacific Airlines to offer super cheap tickets

The low cost air carrier Vietnam Pacific Airlines said that it would launch a new promotional programme for summer flights.

The air tickets at super low price levels will be valid for flights from June 1 to October 31.

Recently, several Pacific Airlines’ clients have bought tickets through intermediaries under unclear procedures and therefore been refused service. In order to minimise risks in air ticket transactions, Vietnam Pacific Airlines has asked that passengers and owners of credit cards be the same.

From April 20 to April 30, Pacific Airlines will sell 200 more cheap air tickets for flights. BL 599 from Da Nang to Ho Chi Minh City, departing at 9.30 pm every day, will see the lowest air ticket level, at VND520,000 per trip, not including taxes and fees.

Vietnam Pacific Airlines will also maintain low airfares for Ho Chi Minh City – Hanoi flights and vice versa, with the lowest level at VND750,000 per trip. For the Ho Chi Minh City – Taipei (Taiwan) route, the lowest one-way level will be $100/passenger. The airfares will be $60/passenger/flight for the Ho Chi Minh City – Bangkok flight, applied for groups of more than 10 passengers, and $65 for individual passengers.

Passengers can book tickets directly on the website www.pacificairlines.com.vn or at booking agents nationwide.

In related news, Nok Air, also a low cost air carrier, said that it was in the final stage of surveying the market before it opened new routes from Thailand to Hanoi flights and Ho Chi Minh City.

The Thai air carrier has announced it wants to provide two flights a day from Bangkok to Hanoi flights and Ho Chi Minh City with Boeing 737-400s.

If Nok Air can get permission from the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV), there will be five airlines providing flights connecting Vietnam (Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang) and Thailand.
