Planning to travel around Vietnam during Tet 2027?
Vietnam Airlines Tet 2027 tickets are available as the group opens sales earlier, with nearly 3.7 million seats.
This covers the Lunar New Year travel period.
Tickets go on sale from August 25, 2026, covering the main Tet travel period from January 22 to February 20, 2027.
When Is Tet 2027 in Vietnam?
Tet, the Vietnamese Lunar New Year, will take place in February 2027, but the major travel period begins much earlier and continues for several weeks.
Vietnam Airlines Group — including Vietnam Airlines, Pacific Airlines and VASCO — is preparing for a month-long peak period rather than just a few busy days.
The airline group plans to offer nearly 3.7 million Vietnam Airlines Tet 2027 tickets.
This is about 11% more capacity than during the 2026 Tet peak season.
More Flights on Popular Vietnam Routes
Domestic capacity is being increased on several of Vietnam’s busiest routes.
- Hanoi – Ho Chi Minh City: capacity up 15.4%
- Ho Chi Minh City – Da Nang: capacity up 7%
- Ho Chi Minh City – Hai Phong: capacity up 6–13% depending on the route
- Ho Chi Minh City – Thanh Hoa: increased capacity
- Ho Chi Minh City – Vinh: increased capacity
- Ho Chi Minh City – Hue: increased capacity
This should give travelers more choices of flight times and potentially more competitive fares during the busiest travel period of the Vietnamese year.
International Flights Are Also Increasing
The extra capacity isn’t limited to domestic travel.
Vietnam Airlines Group will also increase flights between Vietnam and major international markets.
The expansion supports Vietnam Airlines Tet 2027 tickets for travelers to Japan, South Korea, Thailand and Singapore.
Total international seat capacity during the Tet period is expected to exceed 1.1 million seats, around 10% more than during Tet 2026.
Some of the biggest increases are planned on:
- Da Nang – Seoul: +94%
- Hanoi – Osaka: +81%
- Hanoi – Taipei: +64%
- Da Nang – Tokyo: +58%
More Night Flights
Vietnam Airlines Group is also increasing the number of flights operating between 9:00 PM and 5:00 AM.
These overnight and early-morning services will account for around 17% of total flights during peak periods.
For travelers, this could be useful if you want to avoid the busiest daytime departures or make better use of your holiday time.
Should You Book Tet Flights Early?
Yes.
Tet is one of the busiest travel periods in Vietnam. Millions of people travel to visit family, return to their hometowns or take holidays during the Lunar New Year.
The additional capacity should provide more options, but the most convenient flights can still sell out quickly.
Vietnam Airlines recommends booking early and remaining flexible with departure times if possible.
