Tickets of the Hanoi-Dien Bien route are now available for sale on the website www.vietjetair.com and Vietjet Air mobile app, official booking offices and agents. Passengers can arrive in Dien Bien with only over 30 minutes flying, instead of spending around 12 hours on a road trip.

The flights depart from Hanoi at 09:30 and arrive in Dien Bien at 10:25 (GMT+7). The return flights depart from Dien Bien at 11:00 and land in Hanoi at 11:50 (GMT+7).
