This year's National Day holiday on September 2 is 4 days off (from August 30 to September 2). After the parade, the parade celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification in Ho Chi Minh City, many tourists have begun to book air tickets to Hanoi on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of National Day on September 2.
To Viet Hoang (25 years old, Ba Ria - Vung Tau) decided to spend all of his September 2 vacation in Hanoi to celebrate the big festival.
He said: "Because I wanted to see the general inspection of the state-level parade and parade, I decided to book a plane ticket from early morning of August 30 and stay until September 2.
Long holidays, plus at the end of the summer, are an event that many people are interested in, so I book air tickets early to avoid high prices or running out of space".
Unlike Viet Hoang, Hoang Yen (34 years old, Ho Chi Minh City) booked a plane ticket to Hanoi on the evening of September 1 because she only wanted to watch the official parade and stay to explore the capital until the end of the week.
Surveying the websites of airlines, Viet Hoang found that there are still quite a lot of round-trip tickets for Ho Chi Minh City - Hanoi on August 30 - September 2. However, the number of early flights to see the general parade and parade on August 30 is still quite small. The price of round-trip tickets for the morning flight ranges from 3.5 - 5.1 million VND/person depending on the airline.
Meanwhile, if flying from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi on the evening of September 1, Hoang Yen must spend from 1.3 - 3.7 million VND/trip depending on the airline. Because of early bookings and many options for flight times, the airline gives female tourists a comfortable choice.
In addition, if customers only want to see the preliminary review, general review of parades, parades, and round-trip tickets from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi from August 26 to 30, they can range from 2.3 to 2.7 million VND/person if flying Vietjet Air, 4.6 to 5.3 million VND/person if flying Vietnam Airlines or Bamboo Airways.
Ms. Hai Linh, a retailer of Hanoi air tickets, said that since the April 30 holiday, some customers have been asking to buy air tickets to Hanoi on September 2.
"Most of the customers who asked to book tickets were from the South. Because the time is still early, 4 months before the departure date, airfares are stable and not too high. Currently, there are many options for flight times and airlines for customers," said Ms. Hai Linh.
After booking air tickets, many tourists also started to learn about the parade route to book hotel rooms and motels conveniently.
Currently, there are no specific statistics on the number of bookings and air tickets during the September 2 holiday. However, with early signals, Hanoi promises to welcome a large number of visitors, even exploding during the 80th anniversary of National Day.
