VietJet is set to increase its flights to Sydney & Melbourne in September as demand for travel to Australia intensifies.
Based on data from AeroRoutes.com, the service upgrades are marginal but are still reflective of strong booking demand for the carrier.
Without further ado, let’s get into it…
VietJet Increases Melbourne Services…
For the Melbourne services, VietJet is set to increase services from thrice weekly to four times per week, using its Airbus A330s.
There will be two different flight times as a result of this alteration by the carrier.

The additional VJ081 service, which will depart on Sundays, will depart Ho Chi Minh at 1050 local time before arriving at the Australian airport at 2335 local time.
The return VJ082 service, which will depart on Mondays, will leave Melbourne at 0130 local time, and arrive back at the Vietnamese destination at 0630 local time.
Sydney Gets An Additional Flight, Too!
As for the Sydney increase, this again will up itself by one to four weekly from thrice weekly, but with no flight time alteration.
