I will go for
vacation in Ho Chi Minh City aka Saigon later this year.
The reason I
choose HCMC over other destinations is that Vietnam Airlines offers ‘Super
Saver’ fare. My round trip airfare, inclusive of airport taxes, is RM335. Had I
gone with Air Asia, the airfare, including airport taxes, but excluding travel
insurance, would set me back at least RM588.
So much of a
budget airline!
Of course, if
I booked my flights 6 months in advance, AA’s fare could still cost less. In
addition to this, it has other advantages over VA: AA’s online booking system
is more user-friendly. It has four daily flights from KUL to SGN; VA has only
two. Do note, however, that AA’s flights at ‘more convenient times’ tend to be
more expensive.
I will tell
you more about Vietnam Airlines after returning from my trip.
