  Anyone know the ramifications of buying this through a 3rd party and then having it cancelled from the airline?

    If the OTA doesn't auto refund, you could do a claw-back on your credit card at least, as you'll have evidence.

    If that’s a concern, you can buy directly from jetstar and the price is $232 the lowest.

  I booked the Korea trip from the previous deal, thanks to beatthatflight. Really keen for another trip but I need to find a return ticket within a reasonable price from Vietnam or surrounding counties.

    found some now! Adding in as I go.

  Good deal thanks!
  Keep in mind if you buy via Jetstar you can add the 'fare credit' option for another ~$40 so can refund the ticket price if you change your mind.

  Worth checking the cost of a full return flight too can be a big price difference between buying two individual tickets which might not make this as attractive of an offer.
  Eg: Auckland - Hanoi return 18-24 nov = $1175
  Buying the same flights as two individual tickets 846 + 554 = $1400

    Found some well priced return tickets now, added in.

  These have periodically become available directly on the jetstar site. What you’ll probably find though is no return flight options at all, so will need to arrange a way back elsewhere.

  Is anyone at all flying direct NZ to Ho chi Minh city yet?

    Poppymocky on 08/10/2024 - 14:36

    There is no direct flights with vietnam. Airnz used to precovid

    Nope :/ Haikou is the closest: https://www.flightconnections.com/flights-from-auckland-akl

  Just booked from CHCH July 21st - 28th for $711 return. Yay!

    great find! have added it into the description (Although it's gone up a bit from your price, you did well!)

    7 days seems really short for a trip if the tickets are $700.

      there for a good time not a long time?

        Vietnam is so cheap the entire rest of the trip will cost less than just the tickets.

      I think it can work. Often people will pay double that and stay for 2 weeks, half price for 1 week is the same per day. Depends how easy it is to get time away from work.

      Each to their own. I’m stoked with the price for an international 8 day holiday

  suggest you go price beat via online chat….and book via Jetstar. I managed to get even cheaper…

  • 

    doubledippps on 08/10/2024 - 16:46

    Did they price match for you and not fix the fares error?

    • 

      Jaxson on 08/10/2024 - 18:43

      I’m not necessarily sure it’s a price error.

      Kinda feels like they’re flying this route in a triangle, and they don’t really care on one leg as they have to get the plane back to the start regardless.

      • 

        nevergofullretail on 08/10/2024 - 19:21

        I guess better than flying in a circle!. Im not sure if triangle is the right shape as the plane doesnt fly direct from vietnam to nz.

  I've been keeping an eye out on one way flights to Phuket and regularly get fares on Jetstar around the $400 mark. The challenge is getting a well priced one way flight to get home

  • 

    Jaxson on 08/10/2024 - 22:55

    Absolutely. The return leg is much higher back from these places.

    I mean, if it helps, you can get that with Air China (full service) - probably cheaper, but a quick search yielded https://bookings.beatthatflight.com.au/flights/AKL0311HKT221… at $832 return.

  Looking on Jetstar.com I can see NZD248 flights from Auckland to Vietnam but there is no available return flight?

  • 

    EthanY on 09/10/2024 - 12:58

    I did spot a couple of return flights in late Sep on jetstar website.

  I don't suppose you can run your script with zqn as the origin please?
