On February 5th, Vietnam Airlines announced that for Binh Ngo Tet 2026, Vietnam Airlines will continue to accompany the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor to deploy the Youth Union Flight scheduled to take off on February 12th, 2026 (December 25th of the lunar calendar).
The flight is like a familiar bridge, extending the mark of Vietnam Airlines accompanying workers. 550 tickets are 550 moments of gathering, writing the joy of reunion after a long year away from home," Vietnam Airlines emphasized.
Vietnam Airlines also said that before the peak travel season of Tet Nguyen Dan 2026, Vietnam Airlines recommends passengers to actively buy tickets early and only buy tickets through the official channels of the airline to ensure their rights, avoid the risk of fake tickets, ticket price increases or fraudulent acts that are tending to increase during the peak season.
According to records, during peak periods such as Lunar New Year, bad actors often take advantage of the psychology of ticket scarcity to advertise cheap tickets on social networks, accompanied by commitments of convenient flight times or fake transaction images to create trust. In many cases, after receiving money, these subjects cut off contact or carried out fraudulent acts such as refunding tickets after they were issued, causing damage to passengers.
Vietnam Airlines recommends that passengers only buy tickets through the official website www. vietnamairlines. com, the mobile application "Vietnam Airlines", the ticket office system and official agents of the airline. When buying tickets, passengers need to request the seller to provide invoices in accordance with regulations to ensure their rights. To be supported and verify ticket information, passengers can contact the Customer Care switchboard 1900 1100, Zalo account https://zalo. me/3149253679280388721 or Vietnam Airlines' official Facebook Fanpage.
In addition, during peak seasons, the airline encourages passengers to plan early, book seats and buy tickets in advance, and flexibly choose early morning or night flights - times when there are often many seats and prices are more suitable than peak hours.
To meet the increasing travel demand of passengers during Tet, Vietnam Airlines has proactively increased supply capacity with about 60,000 seats, equivalent to nearly 300 additional flights, concentrated in the period from February 9 to March 3, 2026 (ie from December 22 to the full moon of the first lunar month).
Overloaded flights are mainly operated from Ho Chi Minh City to high-demand destinations such as Hanoi, Vinh, Hai Phong, Thanh Hoa, Da Nang, Hue, Chu Lai, Buon Ma Thuot, Pleiku, Tuy Hoa, Quy Nhon and Phu Quoc. Vietnam Airlines also opened for sale additional routes from Hai Phong to Nha Trang, Can Tho, Buon Ma Thuot and Phu Quoc, contributing to distributing demand and reducing pressure on main routes during peak seasons.
Along with that, Vietnam Airlines recommends passengers to check in online within 24 hours before departure via website, mobile application, VNeID, switchboard or self-check-in counters at the airport. The use of biometric technology will help shorten waiting times, especially for passengers without checked baggage, contributing to reducing congestion at the airport during peak hours.
