Beijing and Guangzhou: Just Your Average Tourist Destinations (Not)

So here’s the deal: if you’re flying from Ho Chi Minh City to Beijing, you’ve got daily flights. Yep, you can book a seat every day of the week because we all know the perfect trip can’t be planned only on weekends. Hanoi to Beijing? They've got you covered with Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday flights. (That’s right—no Monday panic flights here.) Return trips from Hanoi? Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays—because who actually wants to fly on Monday anyway?

And in case you’re wondering about Guangzhou: that’s daily too. It’s like your favorite Chinese food—always available, always satisfying.

More Than a Flight—It’s a Whole Vibe

We’re not just talking about getting from point A to point B here. Oh no, Vietjet is all about giving you the experience. We’re talking eco-friendly aircraft, where your only environmental guilt will be from the number of dumplings you ate. Plus, the crew is so friendly, you’ll think you’ve been upgraded to a personal concierge.

And then there’s the food. Forget the "meh" airplane snacks. We’re talking full-on Vietnamese cuisine at 30,000 feet. You’ve got Phở Thìn, bánh mì, and more actual food than you ever thought possible on a plane. And as if the in-flight entertainment of deliciousness wasn’t enough, you’ll be treated to live cultural performances at altitude. That’s right, live performances—because who needs a movie when you’ve got a mini festival happening mid-flight?

Book Now and Celebrate Your New Year Like a Boss

Why wait? Don’t get stuck scrolling through TikTok during the Lunar New Year when you could be enjoying China. What are you waiting for? Book your Vietjet flight now and thank your future self later. Let’s be honest: there is no possible reason you should stay on the ground when flights are practically free. Ready your passport, pack your bags, and prepare to celebrate the New Year like never before—with lots of dumplings and fireworks!

New Routes and Old Flames

First up, the comebacks. Starting April 1, 2025, the Hanoi–Kuala Lumpur route is back, baby! This thrice-weekly service (on the trusty Airbus A321) has been MIA for a while, but it’s ready to reconnect Vietnam with Malaysia.

And guess who else is making a dramatic return? The Ho Chi Minh City–Hong Kong route, dormant since 2020. Daily flights start March 30, so it’s time to rekindle that love affair with dim sum and skyline selfies.

But the pièce de résistance? A brand-new long-haul route from Hanoi to Milan Malpensa. Yes, you read that right—Vietnam Airlines is flying you straight to fashion capital fabulousness starting July 1, 2025. With three weekly flights on the sleek Boeing 787-9, you’ll feel like a VIP before you even land.

Upgrades and Frequency Tweaks

Vietnam Airlines isn’t just adding routes; they’re upgrading their game. Starting May 1, the Hanoi–Mumbai route will swap out its Airbus A321s for the luxurious Boeing 787-9 and Airbus A350-900. Come September 4, it’s all-A350, all the time—because nothing says “we’re serious about comfort” like a wide-body aircraft.

Meanwhile, Hanoi–Munich is stepping up from two to three weekly flights beginning July 3, 2025, ensuring Europe gets a little extra Vietnam Airlines love.

On the flip side, Hanoi–London Heathrow is cutting back to three weekly flights from March 30, 2025. But hey, quality over quantity, right?

Regional Comebacks Worth Cheering For

Vietnam Airlines is also showing some love to its regional neighbors. The Da Nang–Bangkok route, last seen in early 2023, returns March 30, 2025, with four weekly flights on the A321. This route is perfect for beach-hoppers and city-break enthusiasts alike.

Why It Matters

These updates are more than just extra flight options—they’re a declaration that Vietnam Airlines is here to dominate the skies. Whether you’re jetting off to Europe’s cultural hotspots or bouncing around Southeast Asia, the airline is doubling down on connectivity and comfort.

What’s In It for Travelers?

• New Destinations: Who doesn’t want to sip espresso in Milan?
• Comfy Upgrades: Long-haul flights on the A350-900? Yes, please.
• Regional Perks: Quick getaways to Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, or Hong Kong are back on the table.
