VietJet Air Flies Cheaper Than AirAsia

VietJet Air, a cheaper flying option than AirAsia to Da Nang, Vietnam

When it comes to budget airlines in Vietnam, VietJet Air is the name I, mr.hotsia, want to seriously recommend. From my experience flying with this airline multiple times, both domestically and internationally, I am confident that VietJet Air really offers cheaper fares than other budget airlines like AirAsia.

I booked a ticket in advance from Hanoi to Bangkok with VietJet Air for about 1,500 THB. Even after adding checked baggage fees of around 200-300 THB, it was still cheaper than some AirAsia flights that cost nearly twice as much. This is the advantage of VietJet Air that I want you to consider when planning your trip.

Da Nang, an important tourist city served by VietJet Air

For traveling within Vietnam, VietJet Air is also a very interesting option. I once flew from Da Nang to Hanoi with this airline. The ticket price including checked baggage up to 15 kg was about 1,000 THB only. If you consider taking an overnight sleeper bus, the price is not much different, but flying is much more convenient and faster.

Da Nang itself is a charming tourist city with beautiful beaches and a location that connects major cities like Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Dalat conveniently. VietJet Air offers many flight routes from Da Nang Airport, making planning a Vietnam trip much easier. Unfortunately, there are currently no direct flights from the north to Dalat.

Onboard Experience and Booking Tips with VietJet Air

A story from the airport and onboard VietJet Air that I want to share is to be careful about your checked baggage. Once, I flew from Hanoi to Bangkok and forgot to purchase checked baggage, which cost me an extra 30 USD unexpectedly. Luckily, a friend helped send me money, or else my travel plans would have been disrupted for a long time.

Therefore, when booking tickets with VietJet Air, I, mr.hotsia, recommend buying add-ons like checked baggage and choosing a window seat right away. The prices are not very expensive and you also get discounts on onboard meals. Most of the food on VietJet Air is Vietnamese style with some Thai dishes, and the menu is available in Thai as well, which is very convenient for Thai travelers like us.

Impressions from Traveling in Da Nang and Nearby Areas

When talking about Da Nang, I, mr.hotsia, recommend staying at a seaside hotel at Da Nang Bay, where I have stayed atHai Au HotelA moderately sized hotel with affordable rooms and beautiful sea views. The atmosphere is peaceful and you can see the fishing lifestyle of locals casting nets for small fish along the beach, which is very impressive.

For those who want to experience cultural city vibes and local markets, I recommend visitingDalat Morning MarketNot far from Da Nang, Dalat is a city that perfectly blends nature and French architecture. This morning market offers fresh produce, Vietnamese food, and fresh juices with many choices. It is also a beautiful city viewpoint.

I have visited Dalat several times and found it to be a charming tourist city comparable to major destinations. The weather is cool all year round, perfect for nature lovers and those who enjoy a chill atmosphere. It also has famous local dishes likeBún Riêuwhich is a signature dish of this city.

If you are planning a trip to Vietnam, don't forget to consider VietJet Air as a good option. Besides friendly prices, it covers main domestic and international routes. Booking tickets in advance and planning your checked baggage well will ensure a smooth and enjoyable trip.
