Vietnam is the new hot destination for Aussies, it seems, and there are some great prices to be had on Jetstar, especially between August and November, and April to June next year. I've given some examples below. Note that the Sydney flights are direct, while others may require connections. Also on some dates, other airlines are cheaper - they'll show in the search when you click through.

        Stated in text above that some airlines may show up for less, if cheaper on that day. YOu can also filter by airline/direct.

        But if I didn't include Perth prices, I'd get "What about Perth??" comments :/

      • AircraftFreight on 25/07/2024 - 21:36

        Why the neg? Jetstar does not operate from Perth to Vietnam at all? Meaning that you have to go via MEL/SYD, and therefore the pricing goes through the roof.

        You are harming BTF over some bs self inflicted comment of living over in bloody whoop whoop.

            Xiaomi sells cheaper phones, must neg every Apple / Samsung phone deal 🤷🏻‍♂️

            You'll find Vietjet is not the same product as Jetstar.

            I should neg one of your previous deals on pizzas because you can buy Dr Oetker pizzas from woollies for $5 each. Same same? Not same.

            • frondono on 26/07/2024 - 10:29

              @dangerdanger: For people from Perth this is far from a deal. 60% more to fly with a worse airline with a stop over and a lot worse flying times. When Vietjet fly direct are rated better and fly at decent times.

              • dangerdanger on 26/07/2024 - 18:47

                @frondono: Good argument, but still not a good reason to neg. Dr Oetker pizzas 45%cheaper than your pizza deal. Should I neg your pizza deal?

                You still haven't given an alternative cheaper Jetstar deal.

                I do however note you or someone else has retracted your neg vote, so many the idea has finally sunk in

              I've flown to VN five times on Jetstar out of Sydney and have mostly paid about $300 return. Not had one single problem with them.

              Not sure why you're pushing Singapore Air, this Jetstar deal isn't even close to being the same thing for most of us.

                  @furiousgeorge: Its really not that bad on the B788. 31" of legroom is the same what you will find on Qatar Airways 787 and A330s, with actual IFE and a decent enough service.

                  The seat that JQ uses on its B788s are the same as Air Canada on 16 hour flights… but you get more legroom by 1" with JQ

    • 1st-Amendment on 26/07/2024 - 13:38

      The discomfort and expense of transfers and longer overall flight duration outweighs any benefit of 1 cm extra legroom…

    • cv05 on 25/07/2024 - 21:15

      Agree. HCMC doesn't have a lot going for it. If you can fly Vietnam Air you can get a connecting flight up to Danang same day. Otherwise if Jetstar a late night lay over near the airport and an early flight out is a good option.

      I agree as well. Saigon doesn’t have much to offer for tourists that can’t be done in a day. If you get a cheap deal then I’d recommend getting a Vietjet flight to Hanoi ( then Lan Ha Bay instead of Ha Long and Nhin Binh which is Ha Long but on land.

    • zfind on 26/07/2024 - 08:56

      I would disagree, HCMC is vibrant and full of interesting places and things to do. It might be that I’m more adventurous than most but it’s easily one of my favourite Asian cities. I found Hanoi grimy and dark and boring in comparison.

      Here’s some of the things I find enjoyable:

      • specialty coffee scene (%ARABICA @Apartment Cafes building is exquisite)
      • play Da Cau in the park with the locals
      • sit in 23rd September Park and talk English with the school kids that want to practise
      • HCM Museum is beautiful and informative (I find the war museum too saddening now after going twice and being so enamoured with VN)
      • pastry / bakery touring
      • find a Buddhist temple and make an offering
      • enjoy some small bars for live music
      • chill in one of the big parks and relax with a drink
      • flower market
      • street food in said markets
      • free city tour with Hotpot (excellent)
      • Get on bumble and go on a date with a cute local
      • etc

      I write this not to convert anti-HCMC people but to encourage anyone passing through to get out and explore and enjoy. It’s very safe, cheap and the people are friendly and open. I can suggest a street food tour by moped if anyone is keen, it was one of the best things I did on my last trip and I’m not even a foodie.

      • timle on 26/07/2024 - 10:02

        There's also an amazing craft beer scene over there which I discovered recently, so I recommend doing a lap of the HCM Ale Trail: https://www.hochiminhaletrail.com/

        There isn't a bad one in the lot, but East West Brewing was a particular standout.

      Independence Palace in HCMC is worth it, then perhaps walk across the park and get some cà phê bệt on the street.

    • zfind on 26/07/2024 - 09:03

      Flew two legs with them last month and another two in February. Clean planes, staff range from businesslike to lovely, in-flight food offerings aren’t too expensive, seats are basic but good enough, leg room is probably fine for an average height person but I struggle being taller. Departed mostly on time. I got upgraded to exit row / leg room+ just by asking nicely, saved my ass on the red-eye ex SGN so I could at least stick my leg into the aisle. The only negative is that they don’t let you take your own water onto the plane ex-SGN for some reason, I just stuff my bottle under some stuff bottom of my carry on and say I don’t have any. Pretty lame to deny people water.

      Overall one of the best LCCs around, I might pounce on this deal and go back for some more fun.

            @xyron: Can't answer the justification for it but I feel like it's easily the cheapest of all the countries to fly to and also arguably the cheapest once you're there. I'm ok paying $40 for that. Each to their own though.

            @xyron: Probably the fact that Australia charges Vietnamese $195 for a 600 visa (tourist). That’s more than half the average monthly wage. It’s actually shit that some countries don’t charge us when we extort them just to come visit.

            Indonesia does charge a visa fee.

        Yep this is the official website. Don't worry about the fact it's offline right now, the site just needs a break. Their webserver seems to be an old OptiPlex in a closet somewhere, which inspires confidence for how they handle PII.

        Gotta love Viet Nam.

    It's time for visa waiver for Aussie. Vietnamese Government been waiving visa for UK and european countries.

      Australia needs to stop charging other countries so much to visit Aus. This is the number one reason other countries don’t waive Visas for us.

        Agree, aside from the fact that it’s more than a bit unfair to charge citizens of less-developed countries just to come here.

      • AnyFurtherDiscount on 26/07/2024 - 14:14

        You wish! They even charge their own citizen $400 bucks for curl up passport

    is a $2000 enough for a, say 5 day trip in Vietnam all up ? (RT ticket, accomm, food etc)

      Depends on your standards. Most of SE Asia can be done extremely cheaply if you can live like a local. $50/night for a budget hotel and $20/day for food is definitely doable.

      Last Nov I spent 9 days in and around HCMC and the total money spent was $1,800 incl. everything. Stayed in decent hotels, did mekong delta tour and ate cheap local food.
