Planning a holiday to Vietnam or looking for an affordable way to explore more of Asia? Travellers from Malaysia have another opportunity to secure lower-priced flights as Vietjet introduces a limited-time promotion offering Eco fares from RM268 one-way, inclusive of taxes and fees.
Announced on 27 October 2026, the promotion covers direct flights from Kuala Lumpur to Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang, giving Malaysian travellers more options for short getaways, longer holidays and future travel plans.
The booking period runs until 1 November 2026, while the eligible travel period extends from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2027. This means travellers can plan trips well beyond the upcoming year-end holiday season, subject to seat availability and the promotion's terms and conditions.
The offer also coincides with Vietjet's continued network expansion across Asia, including the introduction of a new route between Hanoi and Tainan, Taiwan, and the resumption of direct flights connecting Ho Chi Minh City with Chiang Mai, Thailand.
With more connections being introduced, the airline is positioning its network as an option for travellers interested in combining Vietnam with other destinations in Asia and beyond.

Vietjet RM268 Promotion: Booking Dates and Eligible Destinations
The latest Vietjet promotion offers Malaysian travellers an opportunity to book flights to Vietnam at a starting fare of RM268 one-way, inclusive of applicable taxes and fees.
The promotion is available for direct flights connecting Kuala Lumpur with three major Vietnamese destinations:
- Hanoi: Vietnam's capital, known for its historic Old Quarter, traditional architecture, street food culture and access to northern Vietnam's attractions.
- Ho Chi Minh City: A bustling southern metropolis offering historical landmarks, shopping destinations, cafés and a vibrant urban atmosphere.
- Da Nang: A coastal destination popular for its beaches, sightseeing opportunities and convenient access to the historic town of Hoi An.
Bookings are available until 1 November 2026, with travel permitted between 1 November 2026 and 31 October 2027.
In addition to the Kuala Lumpur routes, the airline states that the promotion is also available across its domestic and international flight network, subject to the applicable conditions.
As the advertised RM268 is a starting fare rather than a fixed price for every departure, actual ticket prices may differ depending on the travel date, route, availability and additional services selected during booking.
Travellers should also review what is included in the Eco fare, particularly their baggage requirements and any optional services, before completing their purchase.
New Hanoi–Tainan Route Expands Travel Options to Taiwan
Alongside its promotional fares, Vietjet has introduced a new international service connecting Hanoi, Vietnam, with Tainan, Taiwan.
The route provides an additional travel connection between Vietnam and Taiwan, expanding the airline's regional network beyond the more established aviation gateways.
According to Vietjet, the new Hanoi–Tainan service operates four round-trip flights per week, offering travellers more scheduling options when planning their journeys.
Tainan is recognised for its historical heritage, traditional temples, local food culture and distinctive Taiwanese architecture, offering a different travel experience from the country's larger metropolitan destinations.
For travellers already planning to visit Hanoi, the additional route creates another potential connection within the airline's growing Asian network.
The service is also intended to support tourism, business travel and cultural exchange between Vietnam and Taiwan, providing more opportunities for visitors to explore both destinations.

Direct Flights Between Ho Chi Minh City and Chiang Mai Resume
Vietjet has also resumed its direct flights between Ho Chi Minh City and Chiang Mai, strengthening connectivity between Vietnam and northern Thailand.
The relaunched service operates four round-trip flights per week, giving travellers an additional option for exploring both destinations without having to rely solely on more complicated connecting itineraries.
Chiang Mai is known for its temples, mountainous surroundings, traditional markets and northern Thai culture. Its atmosphere offers a contrast to the fast-paced streets and metropolitan lifestyle of Ho Chi Minh City.
For Malaysian travellers considering a multi-destination holiday, the route could provide an opportunity to combine experiences in Vietnam and Thailand within the same itinerary.
For example, travellers may consider exploring Ho Chi Minh City's historical and cultural attractions before continuing to Chiang Mai for a different side of Southeast Asia.
However, those planning such journeys should check the flight schedules carefully, as the service operates four times weekly rather than daily.
The resumed connection also supports travel between the two countries for tourism, commerce and other purposes, while expanding the choices available through Vietjet's regional network.

More Destinations Across Asia and Beyond
The introduction of the Hanoi–Tainan route and the return of Ho Chi Minh City–Chiang Mai flights form part of Vietjet's wider effort to strengthen its international connections.
Beyond these two services, the airline's growing network includes routes linking Vietnamese cities with destinations across Asia and Europe.
Among the international destinations highlighted by Vietjet are:
- Maldives: Accessible through Vietjet's network from Ho Chi Minh City, offering an option for travellers interested in tropical island holidays.
- Cebu, Philippines: Connected from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, expanding access to the Philippines' island destinations.
- Clark, Philippines: Connected from Ho Chi Minh City, providing another gateway into the Philippines.
- Almaty, Kazakhstan: Connected from Hanoi, offering access to a Central Asian destination known for its mountain landscapes and urban attractions.
- Prague, Czech Republic: Listed among the airline's network connections from Hanoi, extending its international reach towards Europe.
However, travellers planning journeys that involve multiple routes should confirm flight availability, schedules, transfer requirements and whether the selected services can be booked as a single itinerary.
The wider network offers different types of travel experiences, from island destinations and cultural cities to mountain landscapes and European heritage attractions.
What Travellers Should Know Before Booking the RM268 Vietjet Fare
Although the RM268 starting fare may be attractive, especially for budget-conscious travellers, there are several details worth considering before confirming a booking.
First, RM268 is the advertised minimum one-way Eco fare, not a guaranteed price for every flight. Fares are subject to availability, and prices may differ across departure dates and destinations.
Second, the promotional travel period extends until 31 October 2027, allowing travellers to explore different dates rather than limiting their plans to the upcoming school holidays or festive season.
Third, travellers should review the conditions attached to the Eco fare, including baggage allowances, seat selection, changes and other optional services that may affect the final amount payable.
Finally, those planning journeys beyond Vietnam should consider the frequency of the relevant connecting routes, particularly the new Hanoi–Tainan and resumed Ho Chi Minh City–Chiang Mai services, both of which operate four round trips per week.
The promotion can be booked through Vietjet's booking website or its mobile application until 1 November 2026.
For travellers who already have a destination or approximate travel period in mind, the promotion offers an opportunity to compare flight options for trips scheduled between November 2026 and October 2027.
