Vietnam Airlines will resume direct flights from Ho Chi Minh City to Nagoya of Japan twice a week from August 13 and offer a discount up to 60 percent on the resumed route.
The flight will serve passengers every Monday and Friday on Airbus A321. The airline began the route in 2005, but suspended it in December 2007 due to low demand.
As a result, the national flag carrier will operate eight direct routes with the total of 45 flights a week from Vietnam to four major Japanese cities – Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka and Nagoya.
On the occasion, the airline offers a discount up to 60 percent to 299 USD, excluding taxes and other charges, for flights coded VN968 and VN969 from HCM City to Nagoya and vice versa.
The promotion programme is only applied for ticket sold from Vietnam from July 25 through August 4 on flights departing from August 13 to the end of December 31.
Also in the period, Vietnam Airlines carries a promotion programme on the HCM City-Hong Kong route with a one-way ticket priced at 198 USD, a nearly 20 percent discount. The discount price is applied for ticket sold from Vietnam on flights departing from July 1 to October 31.
