| Route | Freq/wk | Hours | Cluster | Market low |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bangkok (BKK) → Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) | 56× | 1.7 | D | ฿4,647 |
| Bangkok (BKK) → Hanoi (HAN) | 35× | 1.8 | D | ฿4,668 |
The market-low column is the cheapest fare in our Travelpayouts cache on that corridor across all carriers, not a Vietnam Airlines-only price — use it as a floor when comparing.
A network across many countries means many rulebooks. Vietnam Airlines’s corridors in our catalogue touch 1 country: Vietnam. Each has its own regulator, so passenger rights attach not only to the airline but to the country the flight departs from. Two flights on the same airline can carry completely different entitlements.
The airline selling the ticket may not be the one flying it. Our catalogue records the carriers that appear on a corridor, including cases where one sells as marketing carrier on a partner’s aircraft. On a codeshare your baggage, seating and compensation rights attach to the operating carrier, not the name on the booking. Read the “operated by” line before assuming what you will get.

Vietnam Airlines’s checked-baggage baseline is 23 kg.
That 6/10 is our own score. Brand strength is an editorial assessment by our team for the Thai market, used to decide how deeply we cover a carrier. It is not a safety rating, not a punctuality rating and not a service score from any independent body. We say so here so you can weigh the number correctly.
The 10% infant fare does not include a seat. It applies to a lap infant travelling without its own seat. Want a separate seat or a car seat and the ticket becomes a child fare, priced as a share of the full fare, with an adult-style allowance. On long sectors the number of positions where a bassinet can be fitted is limited and they go early — request one as far ahead as possible if you need it.
Vietnam Airlines network & booking
Vietnam Airlines’s network in our catalogue covers 2 corridors, based at Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) and Hanoi (HAN). Cached fares across them run from ฿4,530 (BKK–HAN) to ฿4,589 (BKK–SGN). Those corridors carry about 91 weekly departures counting every carrier on the same city pairs.
In this catalogue Vietnam Airlines’s network reaches 2 destinations across 1 country — Vietnam. Most corridors serve ASEAN & regional leisure travellers. All fares are shown in Thai baht (THB); compare live prices and schedules for each city pair on the route pages, and infant fares run about 10% of the adult fare. The lowest fare in our cache across this network is about ฿4,647 on BKK-SGN — prices move with season, so check live fares before booking.
Our catalogue is not the airline’s full network. We build guides only for corridors relevant to travellers from Thailand. Vietnam Airlines may operate many routes that never appear here, so an absent corridor is not evidence the airline does not fly it. Check the official schedule when planning anything that does not start in Thailand.
Passenger rights & compensation
Vietnam Airlines appears on 2 corridors in our catalogue. Vietnam Airlines is registered in Vietnam and answers primarily to Vietnam CAAV. The common misreading is that rights travel with the airline. In practice they change first with the country the flight departs from.
Vietnam Airlines passenger protection is governed by Vietnam CAAV — covering care, rerouting and refunds for cancellations/long delays. There is no fixed EU261-style cash schedule; check the regulator’s official terms before filing.
Baggage runs on a separate legal frame. Liability for baggage lost, damaged or delayed on an international journey sits under the Montreal Convention 1999 where both states are parties. Caps are denominated in SDR and revised periodically, so only the current figure is usable. Crucially this is independent of delay compensation: you can have no compensation claim and still have a baggage claim.
Collect evidence from day one. Whichever frame applies, the burden of proof sits with the passenger. Keep every boarding pass, the airline’s own delay notice or message, receipts for food and accommodation while you waited, and the actual arrival time against the scheduled one. Most rejected claims fail not because there was no right but because nothing documented what actually happened when.
How Vietnam Airlines fits travellers
Vietnam Airlines appears on 2 corridors in our catalogue. Vietnam Airlines’s corridors in our catalogue distribute across passenger clusters as: ASEAN & regional leisure (2). The split is computed from our own route data, not from the airline’s marketing. Our own Thai-market brand-strength score for it is 6/10.
Vietnam Airlines’s catalogued routes matter most to the ASEAN & regional leisure segment(s). Its Ho Chi Minh City (SGN), Hanoi (HAN) hub(s) are the main transit points. Compare schedules, baggage and fares against other carriers on the route pages before booking.
Your rights do not change with the cluster you fall into. The segmentation on this page is an editorial tool for deciding what to explain where. It is not a fare class and it has no legal effect. Two passengers on the same flight who paid different prices for different reasons hold identical statutory rights. What actually changes them is the departure country, the carrier’s nationality and whether the flight is scheduled or chartered.

Vietnam Airlines in our fare record
Across 16 weekly fare captures on corridors Vietnam Airlines serves, the code VN appears as the carrier holding the low 0 times — 0%. Vietnam Airlines appears on 2 corridors in our catalogue. The checked-baggage baseline we record is 23 kg.
Why a weekly cadence misses promotions. We capture once a week per corridor, so a promotion that opens and closes inside a few days can go unrecorded entirely. That means this series systematically under-counts how often exceptional lows occur. Read it as a picture of price level, not as a deal-catching instrument.
What this measures, and what it does not. We capture each corridor’s lowest fare once a week and record which carrier code that value was attached to. The 0% figure therefore says how often this airline surfaced as the cheapest option in the window we observed. It does not say whether the airline is expensive or cheap on average, and it says nothing about what the others charged that week. A low share is not evidence of a high price.
