Today, I am bringing a piece of news that is important for all in India as well as Vietnam too! Yes, it is a new flight route! VietJet airlines, Vietnam’s famous low-cost carrier has said in an announcement that they will be launching flights to India! They will be using a 180-seat Airbus A320 to Indira Gandhi International Airport at Delhi from Ho Chi Minh City. This flight will be 5hrs and 30 minutes long. This service will help reduce travel time from around 10 hours to 5hrs and 30 minutes. This service will be thrice a week, the days are yet to be announced. If you wanna know more about what "Sharklets" are ? Head on down to my post about winglets. The link is given below: https://airtravelexpert.weebly.com/news-and-innovation/january-13th-2018 This will not be the first connection between these two countries. Jet Airways used to operate a Boeing 737 from Mumbai to Ho Chi Minh City but they ceased the service due to lack of demand on the route. Currently, the only way to get to India from Vietnam is via Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur or Singapore. All with connection times of nothing less than 4 -5 hours onwards. Although this will help increase connectivity between these two booming economies of Asia, the flight will be operated by a budget airline. This means extra charges for check-in baggage and food as well. I am very much hoping that either Vietnam Airlines or Jet Airways launches a flight to Mumbai for competition. The flights via Bangkok or KL are horror! Because these connections are always early morning or late night with 6 hour layover time. Singapore offers a decent 3 hour connection time but the tickets cost like almost 1.5-2.5 times the other options. I do not find this new flight route useful to me, because I would go for a cramped up budget airline seat for almost five and a half hour with food and baggage being charged extra. Let me know in the comments below if you want to travel to India, Vietnam or anywhere else and I will help you find a good deal. In addition, stay tuned, as I will be bringing in a special new post in the upcoming week and of course, do not forget to SUBSCRIBE down below! Thank you all.
