![[AIR TICKET GIVEAWAY] 8 Reasons to Fly with Vietjet Air - Alvinology](https://alvinology.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/17122558871_2fc675bfd3_b.jpg "[AIR TICKET GIVEAWAY] 8 Reasons to Fly with Vietjet Air")
During my son’s school holiday in early April, my family and I flew to Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Vietnam with Vietjet Air on their Skyboss class.
For a short getaway, most Singaporeans like to visit Bangkok or Phuket in Thailand or Bintan, Batam or Bali in Indonesia. HCMC is just about 2 hours away from Singapore by plane and is worth considering as an alternative destination too.
This is the second time I am visiting HCMC with my wife, Rachel, although I have been there a few more times than her on business trips. For Asher, this is his first trip to Vietnam and should be the tenth time he is flying overseas.
It is not hard to get around HCMC. The taxis are all regulated, metered and relatively inexpensive. To get from the airport to the city and vice versa, it should cost no more than S$18 or 300k Vietnamese Dong. Usual cab commutes will cost no more than 50k to 250k Dong within the city central.
Language is a slight issue as not many Vietnamese speaks English and most signboards are in Vietnamese. However, I find it manageable within the city central. For the outskirts and attractions, I book land tours with the local operators. TNK Travel is pretty reliable and I have booked several tours with them. They are one of the larger, reputable operators around.
I will cover more about exploring HCMC with a young child in my later posts. This post will focus on the flight experience with Vietjet Air with a happy surprise at the end (make sure you read to the end!).
Here are eight reasons why you should fly with Vietjet Air when traveling from Singapore to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam:
1. Awesome Skyboss Service
For a top-up to their Skyboss class, benefits include the following:
- Priority check-in
- No fee for schedule change
- Free checked baggage 20 kg or 1 Golf set
- Priority seat selection
- Luxury lounge access
- Priority private vehicle
- Food & beverage served onboard (apply for routes with a minimum flying time up to 1 hour and 30 minutes)
Seriously, we never felt so pampered traveling on a budget airline.
2. Lounge Access, both in Singapore and HCMC
Usually, premium services at the various budget airlines only comes with lounge access at Changi Airport in Singapore and not on the return leg. For Skyboss passengers, you get to access the SATS Premier Lounge in Singapore and the Vietjet Air Skyboss lounge at Tan Son Nhat Airport.
In Singapore:
In Ho Chi Minh City:
3. Quality Service
Vietjet Air takes their service commitment very seriously, especially for Skyboss passengers. We were always served first and our luggages were always the first to come out of the conveyor belt.
On our return flight from HCMC, there was an exclusive mini bus for just the three of us so we need not squeeze with the other regular passengers. They also made sure that we were the firsts to board the plane and held back a busload of other passengers who were ahead of us!
4.Bargain Inflight Meals
The items mostly cost under S$5! Which other airline offer such amazing prices? I am not just talking about instant noodles and potato chips. Check this out:
5. Two Daily Flights
VietJet Air operates two daily return flights between Singapore and HCMC, one in the morning and in the afternoon. This gives you a full day or at least half a day when flying into HCMC.
6. Regular Flight Offers and Promotions
Vietjet Air runs many flight offers and promotions throughout the year. Stay tuned to their Facebook page and official website for updates. In fact, there is one right now where you can win a trip to Europe if you book their Skyboss ticket class.
7. Fly to 15 Cities in Vietnam
VietJet Air operates from two hubs in Vietnam – Hanoi Noi Bai International Airport and Ho Chi Minh City Tan Son Nhat International Airport.
Other than the two major Vietnamese cities of Ho Chin Minh and Hanoi, Vietjet Air flies to Danang, Hue, Nha Trang, Hai Phong, Vinh, Phu Quoc, Da Lat, Buon Ma Thuot, Quy Nhon, Can Tho, Thanh Hoa, Dong Hoi and Chu Lai in Vietnam.

I’d like to try out this giveaway since we are coincidentally looking at a trip to Ho Chi Minh City and would like to experience those 8 reasons to fly with Vietjet Air.
Sorry my name’s Merlin Toh.
I would like to win as I would love to visit Ho Chi Minh City which is somewhere I have not been to before to experience the local culture and visit the famous architectural spots for some sightseeing!
I would LOVE to win this contest because i never had a chance to fly with Vietjet Air. It’s such a honour if i can fly with Vietjet Air and explore Ho Chi Minh City at the same time. #FlyVietjetAir
I had never been to HCM neither did I have heard of Vietjet Air before. Thus, give me a chance man!
Liked and shared!!! Hope to have a chance to travel with vietjet and have a break from my work!!!
It’s been many years since I visited Vietnam for work and my deepest impression then was of the chaotic traffic and how you had to step out boldly if you ever wanted to cross the street… of course, the drivers there would also graciously give way to passing pedestrians and not honk at you. It would be wonderful to check out Ho Chi Minh City again and to enjoy it more as a vacation venue this time round with a good friend.
Hi Alvin, Apologies on the Anonymous comment above as I didn’t log in with my Facebook account before posting. Do delete this from your end as I have reposted my comment properly below. Thanks!

Ho Chi Minh is the place I like for cheap food and massages. Furthermore, I can find cheap fashionable clothes there in the Bin Than Market
Never been to HCM so hope to win this and hope to experience awesome hcm!
I have not been to Ho Chi Minh before. Love to experience their local culture and sightseeing. Wish I can fly with Vietjet Air to experience the 8 reasons to fly with Vietjet Air.
#FlyVietjetAir
My finals are ending in 2 weeks, and that would mark one more step closer to graduation!!! Plus I’ve been to Vietnam, but not Ho Chi Minh, so this would be a fantastic getaway!
It has been a wish that i could fly to Ho Chi Minh City but due to unforseen circumstance that i could not go. Really wish to win it and go there to relax 🙂
I would love to fly with my hubby to HCM because we love to travel. It is our dreams to set our footprints on all corners of the world. Be it developed or developing countries. We just want to create our own stories and experiences
My friends are alarmed
that I’ve never been to Vietnam
They can’t believe that I’ve yet to experience her charm
Or relax in her uplifting calm
They say her people are always kind and warm
Its in their culture to smile all day long
They say a bowl of pho there costs just a few thousand dongs
But they’re so delicious that you’ll want to break into a song
I know my wait shouldn’t be prolonged
I can’t let my friends laugh at me on and on 🙁
A quick trip there by VietJet Air surely can’t go wrong
Especially when it’s highly recommended by Alvinology.com! 🙂
Liked & shared. #FlyVietjetAir My wife have never been to to Vietnam and I would like to surprise her with this trip by winning the tickets! Thanks!
I am a history buff and love reading South East Asian history. The narrow and dark Cu Chi tunnels in Ho Chi Minh City are one of places in Vietnam that I’ll love to visit. I grew up listening to stories of the Vietnamese war from an uncle, who was there. The stories both sadden and fascinate me. I hope to bring my uncle to Ho Chi Minh city and visit this beautiful place that has recovered from the devastations of war.
Hi….
I would want to win this contest because I never been to Ho Chi Minh city and I heard that it’s a beautiful city with awesome historical, landmark and local delicacies. Vietjet is a new flight operate in Singapore and I want to enjoy the best hospitality the flight can offers.

I have been once to Ho Chi Minh and definitely had fond memories of the place!! The people were lovely and Vietnam is a place with recent history in which the younger generation will and should learn some lessons on the horrible impact of war. Plus haven’t tried Vietjet Air before and now would definitely be the chance!! #FlyVietjetAir

#Why would we want to win this contest?
1. we are getting marry this Jan 2016, as you know planning a wedding is so stressful and alot of things to prepare and consider. when two families come together as one. No matter how calm, close and love we are, we still quarrel due to the stress level to manage everything, so a break is needed to catch a breathe.
2. We are doing our tailor made gown and suit. We heard that Vietnam can help us fulfil this for our wedding. It will be so memorable milestone for our wedding!
3. It will be so love and nice to have a pre honeymoon to get always from stress for a few days just relax and have fun!
4. We never been to Vietnam, a new place to explore!
5. We are very family person, so thinking that maybe we can have our 二人世界 before our marriage.
Thanks for sharing the article Alvin, appreciated. I wanted to try vietjet airline for my first time with my love ones, and bringing them to Ho Chi Minh to explore the culture, trying out the dishes there and also never had a feeling of winning ticket before, i wonder how it would be feel like if i win haha!
liked and shared Alvinology and Asia 361 Vietjet Singapore! i want to go visit the sand dunes again ! the sun set is so so beautiful. totally mesmerizing. Its been 2 years since i last been to ho chi minh. i want to win the trip because last year when my bf brought me for a staycation at port dickson. He booked a very high end hotel with a beautiful scenaric view and our hotel room has window panels on the floor to view the sea beneath. On that night, we had our candle light dinner by our mini pool in our room. After dinner, while i was out for bath, he lid up the pool with candles of ” I LOVE YOU “. To me, i felt that it was really touching at that point because it gave a different atmosphere to the room. 😉 this was perhaps the best memorable valentine that i had and its something that i will never forget. For upcoming yearly anniversary, I believe my bf and i deserve a good break for our upcoming anniversary and going for an overseas trip would be perfect, with just the two of us. A romantic night with some good wine and food will definitely give a different ambience to the overall date and i am still in the progess of planning. Hope to make this anniversary a really special one for him, to break the norm and relax yourself fully and may it be a day to remember for 2015. To me, Love cannot expressed just by a single word. It’s a native that has to be explored by each of us so that we can truly understand the true meaning of LOVE ! Hopefully Alvinology can provide us with the tickets and make this anniversary overseas trip a successful and memorable one for him since last year my bf gave me a memorable valentine and I would want to give him a surprise this year ! #FlyVietjetAir Benson Lee Eugene Chen Sophia Ang 😉 😉 😉 😉 😉 😉 😉 😉 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 😉 😉 😉 🙂 😉 😉 😉 😉 😉 😉 😉 😉 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 😉 😉 😉 🙂 😉 😉 😉 😉 😉 😉 😉 😉 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Hi Alvinology,
I truely like to win this giveaway because my wife and I just got married and we had spent a huge sum of money on our new house. On a very tight budget, we will not be going on a honeymoon, and I’m a little sad about it, but its just not in the budget. We are also only taking two days off after the simple wedding which I felt bad too. My understanding wife didn’t utter a single word of complain but as a man, I really feel lousy for not giving my lovely wife the dream wedding every woman longed for.
Hopefully this can be a surprise for her as a short honeymoon getaway since both of us have never been to Vietnam before.
Thank you for holding such a great giveaway and may lady luck shine on me 🙂
My sister is going through a rough patch of her life after divorcing and becoming a single parent. I hope to cheer her up with a short getaway to Vietnam. We love to try the authentic Pho – Vietname Noodles and drink Vietnamese coffee at any one of the many pop-up cafes.Next, we’ll cruise in the Mekong Delta for the timeless scenery of farmers planting rice in their paddies or to see its floating markets and lush green scenery. Last but not least, we’ll crawl through the Cu Chi tunnels and have a wonderful time!
