From timeout.

Well, if this isn’t your sign to take a load off and finally book in a holiday, we don’t know what is. Vietnam’s low-cost airline Vietjet is delivering another one of their ridiculously discounted flash sales – and this time you could nab an international ticket for as little as zero bucks.

If you’re scratching your head wondering how and why this is even possible, it’s important to note that their ludicrously low fares come with a caveat. While fares are being offered up for $0, you’ll have to foot the bill for taxes and surcharges. Regardless, this is your chance to get extremely cheap fares.

Vietjet operates out of Sydney as well as Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, and flies to a number of destinations throughout Vietnam and Asia. Fancy a jaunt to Da Nang, Bali or Phuket? The world is your oyster and it’ll cost you zero pearls.

Kicking off this Saturday, September 9, from 0:00 to 23:59, Vietjet will release millions – yep, millions – of tickets for 24 hours only.

    Will there be Bikini Babes on board the flight?

    • [Deactivated] on 05/09/2023 - 11:39

      I'm holding out for the topless flights. (And hoping the "Lizzo is healthy and beautiful" crowd don't get involved… I don't want to be tripping over sagging 5318008s on the way down the aisle.)

  • Jofzar on 04/09/2023 - 18:51

    Begging this, insanely misleading. It's not like we allow for posting without GST.

    • Ozybargdias on 04/09/2023 - 22:43

      Yep — if you posted any other product or service as $X (plus taxes) you’d be laughed off the site. Airline tickets get a free pass because… they just do, OK?? Don't ask questions or I'll neg your comment.

  • paulaus on 04/09/2023 - 20:11

    That website is a nightmare now imagine what it will be like Saturday.

  • George Washington on 04/09/2023 - 20:23

    so i assume we have to pay for return flights?

  • MisterEd on 04/09/2023 - 22:13

    Should be reported as unobtainable!
    “Millions” of tickets available so assume lowest millions is 2 million seats and they currently have 7 return flights to Sydney per week.

    Say 300 seats per flight 300x7 = 2100 seats available (300 round number, actual seats based on their fleet is much less)

    If all their fights out of Sydney were free that would be just over 100k seats in a year… no where near millions!

    Their total aircraft fleet is 82 strong a320s ~150 seats and a330s ~ 250 seats

    • Save 50 Cent on 04/09/2023 - 22:36

      Not disagreeing with you that is totally sounds like marketing BS and they would go bust if they actually offered anywhere near that number of tickets for free.. but:

      “ Punters can head to Vietjet’s website or app with the discount automatically applied when booking any airfare, to any destination travelling between September 18, 2023 and March 31, 2024.”

      It isn’t only Sydney.

    what a interesting site, couldn't find flights from Sydney to Bangkok, Phuket. but you could do Sydney to HCM return and then HCM to Bangkok/Phuket return.

    I've flown VietJet multiple times, most recently direct from Melbourne to Ho Chi Minh and two internal flights last month. No issues at all. As long as you're not expecting full service from a low cost airline you'll most likely be satisfied. I see flights to Vietnam available for ~$400rt several times a year though, so keep that in mind.

  • HamBoi69 on 08/09/2023 - 16:26

    So it'd seem like there are a few more details as per 7News

    Discounted fares are subject to availability and can be used to fly to any location between September 18, 2023 and March 31, 2024.

    Vietjet has flights departing from Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney.

    The discount will be applied automatically, with no code needed.

    The sale will take place for 24 hours, beginning at 3am AEST on Saturday, September 9.

    Budget airline Vietjet is giving travellers the chance to score $0 airfare tickets to any of its international and domestic destinations for a limited time only.

    As well as destinations within Vietnam, Vietjet also offers international flights to Bali, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan and South Korea.

    But according to Escape

    Vietjet’s jaw-dropping flash sale will only be available for 24 hours, starting from 0:01 to 23:59 GMT +7, September 9. For Aussies keen to book, make sure you take the time zone into consideration. Midnight September 9 GMT translates to 10am AEST September 9.

    Which makes zero sense, and it'd have to 3 am as seen here

    • amberdbrickell on 08/09/2023 - 23:27

      OMG I was up waiting for midnight to strike…now you tell me I got another 3 hours to wait….jeesus….

    • jrvb42 on 09/09/2023 - 07:12

      Odd that a news team would understand time zones whereas an international travel outfit would not (or would cck it up).

  • GnarlyKnuckles on 09/09/2023 - 01:26

    Mmmyeah, well I just tried repeatedly to book a few flights with 'VietJet' before giving up about an hour later. It was no picnic. These guys can't run a functional website, so I certainly don't have much faith in their capacity to reliably keep a plane in the sky. The problems with their online systems are too numerous to detail. 'Thwarted at every turn' is the phrase that springs to mind. Interestingly given the above stuff about time-zones etc., there were some flights (supposedly) available for '$0 AUD' at 12:01 Melbourne time (Melbourne to Ho Chi Minh direct for example, various dates), but all the return flights seemed to require a connecting flight operated by a mob (curiously) called 'Thai-VietJet', which was not offering any '$0' flights. I tried to book a return flight nonetheless and got most of the way through the tedious process, only to be jagged at the final turn, when the site froze every time at the payment stage.

    Anyways, so far I'm chalking this up as an epic fail on the part of VietJet, given the above-described time-zone discrepancies provided, the weird 'Thai-VietJet' thing, and the total dysfunctionality of their website re payment (among many other aspects of their online booking process).

    Maybe I'll have a look back at their site later this morning (after 3 a.m. Melbourne time?) and see if anything's changed; but I probably won't.

    I'd be interested to hear what experiences others have during this 'sale'.

    • godspeed4476 on 09/09/2023 - 01:36

      Ive done, Mel- HCMC route couple of times, their website and helpline has always been absolutely hopeless, but never had any issues with flight itself.

    3 am, and the website is ded :|

    • crob on 09/09/2023 - 03:09

      yep, that's when the sale was meant to start

      • GnarlyKnuckles on 09/09/2023 - 03:15

        Actually it was reportedly 'meant to start' at a minute past midnight this morning … then conflicting information was released/emerged, alluding to '3 a.m.', then '8 a.m.', etc. … none of which made much sense.

        • witheredcouch on 09/09/2023 - 03:18

          No, the statement on the site always said midnight Vietnamese time. It was always 3am here.

          • GnarlyKnuckles on 09/09/2023 - 03:23

            @witheredcouch: Oh, I guess the OP screwed up then, by not mentioning that. They stated:

            'Kicking off this Saturday, September 9, from 0:00 to 23:59, Vietjet will release millions – yep, millions – of tickets for 24 hours only.'

            No mention that that was alluding to 0:00 Vietnam time. I think this might have been based on misinformation provided in an Australian news release about this 'sale'.

            • Superbad on 09/09/2023 - 03:28

              @GnarlyKnuckles: In the actually linked article it says GMT+7 or whatever time zone I think.

  • jrvb42 on 09/09/2023 - 06:58

    I can't see ANY $0 fares at all. The cheapest I've found was MEL-SGN. Base fare was $30+ Taxes were over $170 ppow.

    Taxes were more in SYD and BNE.
    Fare was more to Hanoi.
    Searched out to March 2024.
    Fuel surcharge of $50+ dollars also should be included in fare.

    I recently picked up a Jetstar flight in October MEL-SGN for $440 pp return, with no need to get up at 3am to book, so really this Vietjet promo is a bit of a beat-up AFAICS.

    If anyone can see $0 fares, please reply with example.
