About Vietjet
Vietjet, legally VietJet Aviation Joint Stock Company and commonly branded as Vietjet Air, is a Vietnamese low-cost airline founded in 2007. It began commercial operations in 2011 and became Vietnam’s first privately established new-age carrier. The airline is listed in Vietnam and uses the IATA code VJ and ICAO code VJC.
Ho Chi Minh City is Vietjet’s busiest departure hub, followed by Da Nang, Hanoi and Haiphong. Its recorded network covers four destinations in Vietnam across six routes, linking these major commercial, administrative and leisure centres. The Hanoi–Ho Chi Minh City service is the longest route, operating about 1,160 kilometres nonstop between the country’s two largest cities.
The aircraft type recorded for these services is the Airbus A320, a narrow-body jet widely used for short- and medium-haul low-cost operations. Vietjet’s core product is economy travel, with fares generally structured into tiers that vary by flexibility, baggage and included services. Enhanced fare products may provide priority handling, additional baggage or upgraded onboard benefits, depending on the route and aircraft.
Vietjet is not a member of Star Alliance, SkyTeam or Oneworld. Its loyalty ecosystem is associated with SkyJoy, through which eligible customers can earn and redeem rewards under the programme’s current rules. Travellers should check whether their particular fare, booking channel and flight qualify, as earning conditions and partner benefits can differ.
Vietjet’s main strength is its low-fare model on heavily travelled Vietnamese city pairs, particularly links involving Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. The trade-off is that the lowest fares can be restrictive, with checked baggage, meals, preferred seating and some booking changes typically costing extra. Passengers should compare the total trip price and review the fare conditions before payment, especially when carrying more than a small cabin bag.
Good to know
Flying with Vietjet — what to expect
Check Fare Inclusions
Vietjet’s lowest fares generally provide fewer bundled extras. Review baggage, seat selection, meal and change conditions before paying.
Prebook Checked Baggage
Checked baggage may not be included with basic fares. Purchasing the required allowance before arriving at the airport is usually more practical than adding it at check-in.
Cabin Bag Rules
Cabin baggage is subject to the allowance attached to the fare and may be checked for weight or size. Confirm the current limits on Vietjet’s website before departure.
Paid Onboard Extras
Food, drinks and other optional services are commonly sold separately under the low-cost model. Pre-ordering may provide better availability on your flight.
Allow Connection Time
For separate-ticket connections, leave a generous buffer and expect to collect and recheck baggage where required. Vietjet may not protect an onward journey booked independently.
Domestic Airport Choice
Verify the departure airport and terminal shown on the booking, particularly in larger cities. Terminal assignments and check-in arrangements can change.
