It’s enough to make even the most seasoned jet-setter drop their flat white mid-sip: Vietjet has rolled out a red-hot sale for Aussie travellers, offering international flights from just $199, including 20kg of checked baggage. It’s a bold move for a budget airline with a distinctly generous edge – and the timing couldn’t be better.
From 3:00 AM AEST on Tuesday, 23 July, to 2:00 AM Saturday, 26 July 2025, Vietjet will unleash thousands of cut-price Eco tickets for sale across its international network. That’s three glorious days of clicking, booking, and bragging rights for travellers who snag a seat.
These $199 specials are available on the airline’s six direct services linking Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth with Ho Chi Minh City and Sydney and Melbourne to Hanoi. But wait – there’s more (and no, we’re not auditioning for late-night telly). Vietjet’s extensive network opens the door to affordable domestic connections within Vietnam and other Asia-Pacific hot spots, making this one of the most wide-reaching sales for Aussie travellers in 2025.
Travel dates stretch from 4 September 2025 to 20 May 2026 – covering both Spring and Summer in Vietnam – ideal for those chasing monsoon-free beach weather or a bánh mì-fuelled city adventure.
But what truly elevates this fare frenzy above the usual budget airline brouhaha is Vietjet’s decision to include 20kg of checked baggage free of charge for all international flights booked under this promotion. That’s right – no more unpacking your dignity at the check-in counter or wearing three jumpers to save on luggage.
It’s a quietly revolutionary touch in an industry where budget carriers are known for charging extra for everything short of oxygen. By folding baggage into the base fare, Vietjet clearly plays for hearts, minds, and wallets—particularly those of Aussies who’ve grown weary of nickel-and-dime tactics.
For those unfamiliar with the Vietjet experience, think modern aircraft, attentive service, and a playful approach to in-flight hospitality. While the cheeky calendar campaigns of yesteryear have calmed, the airline hasn’t lost its flair. The cabin crew is famously friendly, and the onboard menu reads more like a foodie’s fantasy—Pho, Banh mi, milk tea, Vietnamese iced coffee, and even Milo shakes.
“The whole experience feels a bit like flying through a Vietnamese street food market at 30,000 feet,” said one returning passenger, who insisted the Pho was “better than anything I’ve slurped at an Aussie food court.”
And that’s precisely Vietjet’s edge: not only is it affordable, it’s unmistakably Vietnamese – a flying cultural immersion that begins the moment you board.
So whether you’re eyeing a culinary expedition, a reunion with relatives, or a cheeky beach break in Da Nang, this fare sale is your golden boarding pass.
Bookings can be made via the official Vietjet website – www.vietjetair.com – or the Vietjet Air mobile app. But don’t dawdle. With seats priced this low, and baggage included, you can expect these fares to be snapped up faster than you can say “ca phe sua da.”
Vietjet’s cheeky campaign slogan says it best: “A whole new world, a whole new me. Let’s Vietjet!” And with deals like these, it’s an invitation hard to resist.
