Winter may be settling across Australia like a cold, wet doona, but Vietjet has lit a fire under the airfare market with a week-long summer sale that’s nothing short of tropical. And in true Vietnamese style—bold, warm, and just a touch cheeky—it’s promising Aussies a ticket to sunshine for less than the price of a long lunch in Surry Hills.

From now until the bleary-eyed hour of 5:00 AM AEST on 23 June 2025, Vietjet is offering promotional fares from a jaw-dropping $199 (*including taxes and fees) for one-way flights to Vietnam. Yes, you read that right. You could be swapping Bondi’s brisk breeze for Ho Chi Minh City’s steamy pho in just a few weeks.

And these aren’t flights to nowhere. We’re talking six direct routes linking Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth to Ho Chi Minh City, plus flights from Sydney and Melbourne to Hanoi. All flights are available through www.vietjetair.com or the airline’s slick little Vietjet Air mobile app. Travel dates? From 11 August 2025 right through to 28 March 2026, giving you plenty of time to plan—and rebook twice, if you’re anything like me.

But wait, there’s more. (No steak knives, sadly.) Vietjet’s slinging a few onboard sweeteners too:

50% off inflight meals—because who doesn’t love a hot banh mi served 30,000 feet above sea level?
20kg of free checked baggage for Eco-class passengers flying internationally to or from Vietnam. Finally, a reason to pack the good shoes and bring back the lanterns from Hoi An.

Aussies Flock to Vietnam – And Who Can Blame Them?

It’s no secret that Vietnam has charmed the thongs off Aussie travellers. From the chaos of Hanoi’s Old Quarter—where motorbikes and metaphors collide—to the serenity of Ha Long Bay, Vietnam is the kind of place that sticks with you longer than the scent of street-side lemongrass barbecue.

Want beach time? Try Da Nang, Nha Trang, or the island idyll of Phu Quoc. Culture vulture? Then Hue’s Imperial City, Hoi An’s lantern-lit alleyways, or the bustling energy of Ho Chi Minh City will keep your Instagram glowing and your history brain fed.

In short, Vietnam’s the whole package: history, street food, nature, and that unmistakable feeling that life is richer when you’re sipping strong iced coffee for $1 on a corner stool while the world zips by on scooters.

Onboard With Vietjet: More Than Just a Budget Fare

Now, before you raise your eyebrows at the word “budget”, let’s be clear: Vietjet’s fleet is one of the newest in Asia. Their aircraft are so fresh you can still smell the factory floor—or at least the fragrant broth of a steaming bowl of pho if you’re lucky.

Their cabin crew? A delightful blend of Vietnamese hospitality and youthful enthusiasm. You’ll be greeted with a smile and possibly even a cheeky giggle as you order a piping hot bowl of noodles at altitude. They’re also one of the few low-cost carriers that’s cottoned on to what travellers want: reliable, modern planes and a few creature comforts, without paying through the nose.

And if you’ve never eaten pho in the sky, well, frankly, you haven’t lived.

Don’t Snooze – These Fares Will Fly

This isn’t one of those “sales” that quietly drag on for six months. It’s a flash in the pan—a seven-day fare frenzy designed to get you booking now and packing later. With millions of tickets on sale, the odds are in your favour, but the clock’s ticking.

So, whether you’re dreaming of Tet festivals, jungle motorbike adventures, or simply a strong coffee with a stronger view, Vietjet’s latest sale is your boarding pass to something extraordinary.

Head over to www.vietjetair.com or fire up the app, and grab yourself a seat before they’re all snapped up. Your next great adventure? It might just start for less than $200.
