Claim
A viral post claims a Vietnamese airline, Vietjet Air, offers flight tickets from India to Vietnam for as low as Rs 11, without tax, every Friday until 2025.
Fact Check
To verify the claims, DFRAC logged on to Vietjet Air’s website.
We saw a tweet from the airline’s official handle based in India. Under a special offer after Holi, flights from Hyderabad or Bangalore to Ho Chi Minh City cost 11 Rupees + Taxes. As it is a special offer, they put a caveat: book from the 21st Feb to the 28th Feb 2025 for the 10th March to 30th September 2025.
The airline mentioned the same on their website.
Besides Hyderabad and Banglore, VietJet Air provides its services from five more places in India. The five are: Ahmedabad, Kochi, Mumbai, New Delhi, and Tiruchirappalli.
Preview of website while booking
Currently, the lowest economy class ticket is available at Rs 1,210 from March 2025 to October 2025. After choosing the economy ticket, taxes and other fees take the cost of a ticket from 1,210 rupees to 8,157 rupees. The final cost is the ticket cost plus taxes and other fees.
Final Cost of the ticket
Conclusion
The viral claim that Vietjet Air is offering flight tickets from India to Vietnam for just Rs 11 without tax is misleading.
While the airline did launch a special promotional offer where base fares were as low as Rs 11, it was only available for bookings made between 21st to 28th February 2025, with a travel period from 10th March to 30th September 2025.
