Insanely low prices for flights from Melbourne to Ho Chi Minh City.

Lucky Melbournians can score a Vietnam flight for an UNHEARD OF less than $300 per person, thanks to the Vietjet Air route that’s landing at Tullamarine at the end of this month.

From 31 March 2023, Vietjet Air will start flying between Melbourne (MEL) and Ho Chi Minh City (SGN). These direct flights will take nine hours from Australia to Vietnam, and 8-hours, 40-minute for the return journey.
