The Vietjet 12PM-2PM sale runs for two hours around lunchtime in Vietnam, when Vietjet opens a batch of Eco fares priced from 0 VND. It’s a genuine, recurring promotion — not a one-off — but “0 VND” doesn’t mean a free flight. Here’s exactly how it works, what you’ll actually pay, and how to check whether it’s running today.
Is the Vietjet 12PM-2PM Sale Real?
Yes. Vietjet runs a daily promotional window, in Vietnamese branded “12h rồi, Vietjet thôi” (“It’s 12 — time for Vietjet”), where a limited batch of Eco-class seats is offered from 0 VND base fare. This is separate from Vietjet’s occasional multi-day flash sales (which have their own dates and don’t run on this daily schedule) — don’t confuse the two if you see both mentioned online.
Vietnam time zone — when is 12–2 PM for you?
Vietnam runs on Indochina Time (ICT, UTC+7), with no daylight saving changes. 12:00–14:00 ICT is:
- 05:00–07:00 UTC
- 13:00–15:00 in Sydney (AEST, no DST adjustment applied here — check seasonally)
- 06:00–08:00 in most of Western Europe (CET)
- 01:00–03:00 in US Eastern Time
Double-check the current offset for your location, since several of these shift with daylight saving at different times of year.
Why 0 VND doesn’t mean a free ticket
The 0 VND price applies only to the base fare on Eco class. On top of that, you’ll pay:
- Airport taxes and government fees
- Vietjet’s own surcharges and administrative fees
- Any add-ons you choose: checked baggage, seat selection, meals, payment processing fees
By the time these are added, a “0 VND” ticket typically still costs a real, if modest, amount — often well below a standard fare, but not nothing. Treat this as a genuine discount mechanism, not a literal free flight.
How to check if the sale is live and book it
- Open the Vietjet website or app shortly before or during the 12:00–14:00 ICT window.
- Search your route and dates as normal — the discounted Eco fares appear in the regular search results when available, not through a separate promo code.
- Compare the total price shown (including taxes and fees) before booking, since the headline 0 VND figure is only the base fare.
- Book quickly if you see a fare you want — these seats are limited per route, and popular routes, weekends, and peak-season dates are the first to sell out or may have none available at all.
Which routes are included?
Reporting on this promotion describes it covering Vietjet’s domestic network plus a number of international routes (secondary sources mention Thailand, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and India as examples). This isn’t a fixed list — which specific routes have 0 VND seats on a given day changes, so check your specific route directly rather than assuming any route is guaranteed to have availability.
What we couldn’t independently confirm
Vietjet’s own promotional page blocks automated access, and secondary sources disagree on the exact current travel-date window for this offer (one source gives roughly May–December 2026, another describes a different, unrelated 3-day sale with its own dates). Rather than state a specific end date that might already be wrong by the time you read this, check the live Vietjet site or app for the current travel-period dates before planning around this fare.

FAQ
Is Vietjet’s 0 VND fare actually free?
No — the base fare is 0 VND, but taxes, fees, and any add-ons are extra. The total is still usually well below a standard fare when seats are available.
What time is the sale, exactly?
12:00 to 14:00 Vietnam time (ICT, UTC+7), daily.
Does the sale apply to international flights too?
Reporting on the promotion suggests yes, for a number of routes, but availability varies by route and day — check your specific search.
Are there blackout dates?
Yes — public holidays, Tễt, and peak travel periods are typically excluded, though exact dates aren’t published in a fixed list.
Can I always find a 0 VND seat if I search at 12 PM?
No. Seats are limited per route and day; popular routes and peak dates may have none available.
Is this the same as Vietjet’s occasional multi-day flash sales?
No — those are separate, one-off promotions with their own dates and terms. This article covers only the daily 12–14h mechanic.
