Con Dao tour prices fall with new direct flights

Nguyen Thu Phuong from Hanoi has regularly visited Con Dao Island for the past four years. She said when the Hanoi-Con Dao route wasn't open, it was very hard to find tickets. Since she could only go during the weekend, her family often paid VND13m (USD565) to VND14m for tickets.

"My sister just went to Con Dao two weeks ago. She took four flights and the return ticket per person was VND5.6m," she said.

After Bamboo Airways opened new direct flight routes in October from Hanoi, Vinh and Hai Phong to Con Dao, ticket prices dropped sharply. Some people said they have never seen such low prices.

According to a ticket agent of Thien Phuc Travel Service Trade JSC, Vietnam Airlines is selling Hanoi-Con Dao return ticket from VND4m (USD172). Passengers will not stay overnight in Can Tho or HCM City but only stay for one or two hours during the transit time there.

Bamboo Airways offer a return ticket for VND3.85m to VND5m for Hanoi-Con Dao direct flights starting from October.

Ho Xuan Phuc, director of Hanatours said the previous Vietnam Airlines tickets often cost VND5m to VND7.5m so the total tour package to Con Dao cost VND6.75m to VND8.45m. With cheaper airfares, the tour prices also dropped to VND4.55m to VND7m.
