We were checking in by Viet who told us there is no such booking made. Then he found it but said that there is a problem with checking in luggage but then continued to weigh it. Then he said that I didn’t include my second name on the ticket and I have to go to customer desk to fix it. At the customer desk lady told us that she got information that our booking doesn’t exist and asked what help we needed. I showed her confirmation from 12Go.asia and then she said I have to pay extra to change the name which I did. With the receipt we went back to Viet where we waited for him to finish dealing with other passengers only to find out that our checking bags are not included and that we have to go back to SAME customer service desk to fix it. We went back to same lady, paid again (over 600k) and again waited to go back to Viet who had our passports. I understand the problem with not including second name (although other airlines did not have issues with it) and baggage policy which clearly we misunderstood but going back and forth was very unnecessary and stressful.

When we tried to check in on the ”self check in machine” , it said that our booking was cancelled and that was a source of big stress for us, as we had planned and booked all the hotel and activities in Saigon .. The employees couldn’t find our tickets neither, as if they were not used to 12Go Asia e-tickets .. but at last the customer service employee was able to help us and print the right ticket that the other employees could use to check us in… we booked many Times with 12Go Asia and it was the first time we faced this problem ..

If you choose to fly with a budget air company, do check their rules and requirements as well as other travellers’ reviews, as there are considerable differences between scheduled and budget carriers in the sense of luggage allowances and perks included in the standard fare. In certain cases, you may end up paying more with budget flights if add all those things which come for granted with the scheduled one.

Remember that you will need your valid ID to board a plane. In the case of an international flight, you will need to produce your passport.

How far is Hanoi from Ho Chi Minh City?

Hanoi sits 1771 km from Ho Chi Minh City as the crow flies. Normally planes follow the shortest route possible, though in recent years, due to some political turmoil in certain regions, the skies may be closed for civil aircraft. It pays to check the situation in advance as it can change very quickly.

How long does it take to fly from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City?

A direct or connecting flight from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City normally takes between 2h 5m and 8h 40m, no matter what airline you fly with. Travelling by air between the two is a whisk compared to overland options. Yet do not forget to add the travel time you will spend to get to and from the airport both at departure and destination, as well as the time for check-in, going through security checks and immigration in case of international flights, and waiting for your luggage. If flying locally, it is enough to arrive at the terminal about 90 minutes before departure; international flights leave between two and three hours for passenger congestion.

Flights do leave on schedule, but delays and cancellations are not unheard of. Flights are weather dependent, and during busy periods you can also hit congestion on the runway.

How much does it cost to get from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City by flight?

The most budget-friendly way to fly from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City is to grab a ticket during one of the major seat sales which different airlines run quite frequently. To do that, you must plan your journey well in advance.

Besides the route and the airline, the price of your ticket will depend on the class of the seat, as well as on the season you fly, the day of the week, the time of the day, the extras included in your rate – meals, checked-in luggage, etc.

The lowest standard fare for this route is USD 52.15 offered by Bamboo Airways. If you are ready to shell out USD 161.74, you can fly with Vietnam Airlines.

Travelling by air essentials

The earlier you buy your plane tickets, the higher the chances of scoring the best airfare. Nothing new here. Following the accounts of the airlines on social media may help here as very often they run flash sales or announce deals there. Also, the members of airlines’ frequent flier programs often are the first to get access to the best deals, so you may want to join one or more of such programs, especially if you are on the go.
Low-cost airlines are a great budget-friendly way to travel, but you should remember that many of them use secondary airports either farther from the centre or simply less convenient. Sometimes it takes much longer to get to/from these airports than from the ones used by the scheduled flights and pricier as there may be no public transport except taxi. And taxi will most probably offer inflated rates – well, they know you will agree to go anyway as there are no other options. So do check these points before you book your low-cost airline ticket. If you plan to use connecting flights, always check whether they are operated to/from the same airport or terminal.
Many budget air-carriers do not include any checked-in luggage or inflight meals in your air ticket price. It is wise to check what is included and what is not in advance. It is always cheaper to buy any extras you may need before the flight as at the airport or on board you will be offered higher prices. This especially refers to the luggage – quite often it is twice as expensive if bought at the airport at check-in.
Online check-in is now a must with many low-cost airlines. If failing to check-in online or at a self-check-in kiosk, you will have to pay extra for checking-in at the counter.
If you are travelling in a group and want to keep your party together, paying for the ‘choosing the seats’ option is a good idea. Otherwise the system will assign you seats scattered around the cabin. Yes, sounds unfair but it is what you will most probably get.
Blankets are usually not distributed on short haul flights but air-conditioning may be excessive. So pack layers to feel comfortable. Bring on board a lip balm, eye and nose drops, moisturizing hand cream – all these will help your skin remain hydrated during the flight in a very dry cabin air. Taking off your shoes and putting on socks instead will make you more comfortable, especially if you are prone to swelling. And do not forget to drink water during the flight – it is either sold or available free of charge.
Do not throw away your boarding pass after boarding – it may be required to show it at the immigration at your destination if you fly internationally and sometimes even after domestic flights at luggage claim.
