    Just checked - it's $132 on the Jetstar AU page.

    • HenryGalilei on 31/03/2017 - 15:01

      So the deal also valid on the Au page for the same period?

      • robhung on 31/03/2017 - 15:04

        2,114,833 VND incl. tax, = $120 AUD - roughly the same?

        • HenryGalilei on 31/03/2017 - 15:06

          is that fare a direct flight or multi-stops?

        • robhung on 31/03/2017 - 15:16

          @HenryGalilei:

          Direct flight (it's the exact same flight, just on Jetstar's AU page) - they probably factor in currency exchange, hence the $12 difference.

  • Schumi5 on 31/03/2017 - 15:00

    Did a dummy booking the opposite way Melb to Ho chi Minh.. Came up $287 return, sounds cheap? there were random dates in May

    • HenryGalilei on 31/03/2017 - 15:04

      Should be, as Jetstar and Vietnam Airline have direct flight. Vietnam Airline direct flight to Melb should be $750 plus

  • jackofspade on 31/03/2017 - 15:01

    Fare excludes taxes

    • HenryGalilei on 31/03/2017 - 15:03

      Yes, as i mentioned above, but still, after you add all the services, the fare is still the cheapest in the range

  • altomic on 31/03/2017 - 15:09

    excellent price. I paid $375 return OOL<—>HCMC with Airasia (stop over @ KL), and thought that was pretty good.

    Of course some of us have dual passports with visa free travel to Vn. :-)

          That is talk only. It is supposed to be in effect on 1/2/2017 yet, there is no website to apply. There seems to be a paper form you need to fill in and there is no clear detail of how and where to submit that form and how to pay. So don't keep your expectation too high for Viet Nam.

          Australia is not in the list of countries eligible for that e-visa thing anyway so you will still get slugged with the approval letter and VOA fee.

        • PeteM on 31/03/2017 - 17:28

          @samehada:
          I'm pretty sure it's this site, can't confirm 100% because I'm at work at some sites are blocked. But I'm pretty sure this is the one I was looking at a few weeks ago.

          However, as you said Australia is excluded from e-visa anyway.

      Which passports have free visa to VN?

      • 8200 on 31/03/2017 - 15:21

        Some EU European ones, in my case the Italian one, mind you cost me near $1k to get it and 2 years of slog.

        Also VISA free over the Aussie one to:

        Brazil
        Ukraine
        And at least 6 other countries from memory

        Sadly not Russia or China

        If you ever get in trouble have 2 consulates working for you, and of course no time limit in Europe travel, work, public hospitals and residents

          .

          the Italian one, mind you cost me near $1k to get it and 2 years of slog.

          That's a lot of money to spend on a free visa. The paid one is only $80 - $100 via an agent and cheaper if diy.

          Do you mean permanent residence, or citizenship?

    Some of the fares on that page seem ludicrously low:

    Dong Hoi (central-ish Vietnam) to Hai Phong (near Ha Long Bay) is 40,000VND or $2.30 AUD.

    How does that make work?!

    Perhaps the title should be changed by now?

    My understanding is you'll save $12 or so booking the return leg separately as opposed to booking the return flight from Australia? And you'll pay the old $8.50 booking fee or maybe more in VND since the RBA law doesn't apply?

  • existence89 on 31/03/2017 - 18:11

    Thank you mods for updating the deal. The original deal was speculative and violated Australian single price provisions because the OP had no choice. Now we know that when including taxes, charges and the mandatory credit card booking fee on Jetstar Vietnam's website the deal is no different to what you can buy on the Australian website as part of the Easter deal (http://www.jetstar.com/au/en/deals/easter-sale).

    We also now know the returning discount flights are confirmed as being direct (8 3/4 hrs each way), though more expensive indirect flights are available.

    So yeah, the title still looks like a scam by Australian standards :)

  • chamzoo on 02/04/2017 - 18:25

    Thank OP. I ended up booking tickets in September (dep:16th return 26th) for $350. A little bit pricier but still damn cheap. Both flights were direct.
