Big Jetstar sale to Asia on now. Heaps of routes, but these were the only two that I thought were really special.
Dates are October & November 2023, February to March and May to June 2024.
These prices only include 7kg cabin baggage, if you need to add a checked bag, its around $35 each way for 20kg.
All flights are nonstop.

Melbourne to Ho Chi Minh $306 return
Sydney to Ho Chi Minh $312 return

Use the Jetstar website to find dates.

FYI the Club Jetstar presale is on right now, the public sale starts at midnight tonight.

        while i do think a lot of the jetstar hate is overblown, this sort of thing is a pain in the butt and does happen (im yet to have the return flight moved to before i fly out though!)

        • Hinee on 04/10/2023 - 11:16

          I have also absolutely been giving the benefit of the doubt. Then had my flight from ADL - BNE cancelled (only two direct per day) so have had to go via Sydney. Still not enough for me to post the blacklisted comments I always see, but is definitely now in the back of my mind for future purchases.

      Strange. Took 4 Jetstar flights in the last 2 weeks, all were good :-/

      • Flying Ace on 03/10/2023 - 19:14

        And that's the reality - the vast majority of flights leave on time without delays, but people still keep beating the "Jetstar bad" dead horse even though in the last few months their on time performance and cancellation rate has been better than both Qantas and Virgin.

        • 1st-Amendment on 03/10/2023 - 22:23
          +2

          even though in the last few months

          Maybe because people expect more than a few months of decent service? I've had 3 flights cancelled this year already, the last one was just last month.
          So yeah, Jetstar deserve the terrible reputation they have.

        • xlynx on 03/10/2023 - 22:29

          I disagree. Almost every flight I take these days gets chopped and changed. Not just Jetstar.

        • Cyphar on 04/10/2023 - 11:41

          Doesn't Jetstar have the highest OTD rate? (EDIT: Just checked, it's actually Rex!) I believe Virgin is pretty low but you NEVER see people complain about it even though every single flight I've been on from Perth to Melbourne has been delayed by an hour, and I fly them semi frequently. Never have my Qantas flights been delayed so consistently.

    • AircraftFreight on 03/10/2023 - 18:46

      According to the ABS, Jetstar International has a lower cancellation rate and delay rate than Virgin Australia

                            @pyramid: Yeah so Google would be best for something like that. Check out Cambodia or Vietnam Reddit. There are a lot of information about travelling to the countries. I recommend you do the 3 ex French colonies Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. Starts from Vietnam since it's cheap to fly to Vietnam right now then catch bus or fly to Cambodia (roughly USD50 -100) and take a boat or ferry to Laos. Try and spend about 1 to 2 weeks per country.

    • Neeko on 04/10/2023 - 13:27

      There are other options.

      There are four border crossings in the south. Many take a bus from HCMC to Phnom Penh on the main one. It's a budget option.

      I crossed once from Ha Tien on the west coast. Just get a xe om (motorbike taxi) and they drive you across stopping to get the visa on arrival.

      Or people take a tour by boat up the Mekong.

        Too many people and not enough cabs. As soon as a cab drives up to the rank it gets swarmed by people before the cab even stops.

        People open the doors while its still rolling to a stop or just stand in front of the cab to stop it.

            Unlike you, visiting a place once or twice doesn't make me an expert. However since you asked, when I was there a few months ago it was hectic. I sometimes use Saigon as a transit for other parts of Asia, and each time it has been different. This applies to every airport/station/wharf/bus stop I've ever been. Imagine that…

      Flown in numerous times and have just booked a grab (same as uber here). You don't even need a simcard, just download the app and book it from your phone inside the terminal. Without a sim the only issue you might have is looking for the car on the app while standing outside as the wifi sometimes won't reach. Having a sim is a bit easier.

      • toommy on 03/10/2023 - 22:22

        eSIM services in Vietnam has been rolled out for a long time. You can buy an eSIM and activate it once you arrive at the airport, you can keep your physical Australian sim on at the same time for banking, SMS, etc.

        • cv05 on 04/10/2023 - 01:03

          I do that, but I prefer to go to a proper mobifone store in the city and let them do it. The ones at the airport in my experience always try and rip you off.

    • witheredcouch on 05/10/2023 - 09:34

      Just get an e-sim prior to arrival (if your phone supports it) and book a grab, it has worked flawlessly every time for me.

      FYI, if you are taking the taxi, make sure the meter is on and check the maps for distance. Some drivers would drive around just to get some extra money.
      If you using rideshare, go down the parking basement, locate yourself and text/call your driver to let them know which sides/row are you standing. If you found your driver, wave aggressively so they could see you. Rideshare drivers only allow for 2 mins pickup only so if you are not familiar with it, they probably gonna cancel the ride.

  • markb28 on 03/10/2023 - 19:17

    Same thing happened to me Mel to HCM, Jetstar changed my flight from direct to via Sydney. Not what I signed up for at all. I managed to change the dates to get direct but this involved an extra day of leave.

    I've been cancelled Mel to Syd at short notice in July on Jetstar and put on a later flight (delayed by 90 mins) eating up a big chunk of my weekend.

    Similarly a Qantas rewards flight from London to LAX on BA was cancelled 6 hours before travel last month. Had to wait 5 hours in LAX on the replacement flight.

    You need to build a lot of flexibility in your plans these days, the airline's don't even bother to explain cancellations any more.

        Yeah, I'm a club member and saw great prices at first, but then even changing the dates within the range of booking causes the flights to double or triple in price, even on mid week days.

      Buying petrol is a giant scam?
