The Vietnamese national airline is poised to launch two promotions this month to celebrate the beginning of summer.

Vietnam Airlines has announced on its website that customers can book tickets at rock-bottom prices and join in on special deals exclusively in March for the upcoming summer.

The two promotional events’ booking period stretches from March 18 to 27 while the travel period varies by booking, the website said.

‘Cool Deals for a Hot Summer’ will offer customers fabulous fares for over 100 routes, including one way domestic services from VND199,000 (US$8.92) and round-trip international routes from $9 to Southeast Asia, Vietnam Airlines said.

Flights to Northeast Asia will start at $39 and flights to Europe and Australia can be booked for as low as $249, the carrier added.

The prices have not included taxes, fees, and are dependent on each seat’s position, its website noted.

The ‘Vietnam Airlines Holidays’ promotion packages offer flyers a booking combination of a round-trip flight and a three-star hotel or above listed in each.

Total payment includes airfares, hotel accommodation charges, and tax, according to the flag carrier.

The promotional packages’ prices are based on a four-day-three-night journey for two people starting from VND4 million ($179) for domestic trips and from VND5.793 million ($260) for international flights, the airline said, adding that a higher price may be applied, depending on flight and hotel availability.

Vietnam Airlines is headquartered in Long Bien District, Hanoi, and founded in 1956 under the name Vietnam Civil Aviation.

In April 1993, Vietnam Airlines was officially established as the country’s national flag carrier.

The airline has placed purchase orders of the world’s most modern, environment-friendly fleets, such as Airbus A350-900 and Boeing B787 aircraft, according to its website.

The airline aims to reach 101 and 150 modern aircraft in 2015 and 2020, respectively, making solid steps towards integrating into the global aviation industry as one of the leading regional carriers, which is fully ingrained in Vietnamese traditional culture, Vietnam Airlines said on its website.
