On the 25th day of the 12th lunar month, Saigon train station was crowded with passengers carrying bulky luggage; many arrived hours in advance to catch their trains home for Tet (Lunar New Year) reunions.
Except for a few days leading up to Tet when booking rates on flights from the South to the Central and Northern regions are high, there are still plenty of unbooked seats available on other days.
On some routes, only a few flights still have economy class tickets available, forcing passengers to buy connecting flights or business class tickets costing up to 10-15 million VND.
According to the leaders of the Vietnam Civil Aviation Authority, the information circulating about the situation regarding the purchase of Tet Lunar New Year 2023 airline tickets is inaccurate.
With early ticket sales, Tet holiday tickets are many times more expensive than regular tickets. Flights from Ho Chi Minh City to Da Nang, Hue, Quang Binh, Hanoi, and Hai Phong all cost between 6 and 10 million VND.
Currently, passengers can purchase tickets for the Lunar New Year 2023 (Year of the Rabbit); ticket prices range from approximately 4-7,5 million VND/round trip, significantly higher than during the 2022 Lunar New Year.
