Jin Air to Launch Incheon-Ho Chi Minh City Route Dec. 24, With Daily Overnight Flights
Expanding Vietnam routes, including Da Nang and Nha Trang
9:30 p.m. departures let travelers fly after work
Free checked baggage and 20% off fares
Jin Air will launch a new route to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam's largest economic and tourism hub, this winter peak season, following its routes to Da Nang, Nha Trang and Phu Quoc.
Jin Air announced on Oct. 27 that it will launch a new Incheon-Ho Chi Minh City route on Dec. 24, deploying a 189-seat aircraft and operating seven flights a week, one daily.
The route will feature an overnight schedule that allows office workers and independent travelers to make the most of their trips while using fewer days of annual leave. Flights to Vietnam will depart Incheon International Airport daily at 9:30 p.m. and arrive at Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Ho Chi Minh City at 1:15 a.m. local time the following day. Return flights will depart Ho Chi Minh City at 2:15 a.m. local time and arrive at Incheon Airport at 9:15 a.m.
Ho Chi Minh City, a major hub in southern Vietnam, blends French-style architecture with the energy of a modern metropolis. Major attractions include Tan Dinh Church, known for its pink exterior; Notre-Dame Cathedral, built in the Neo-Romanesque style; the Central Post Office, whose design involved Gustave Eiffel, the architect of the Eiffel Tower; and the Opera House, built in the style of the French Third Republic. Visitors can also enjoy local cuisine such as banh mi and pho, as well as rooftop views of the city at night.
The route also caters to demand for winter golf trips and excursions to nearby destinations. Major golf courses are located 30 to 50 minutes by car from the airport and city center, making it possible to combine sightseeing with a round of golf. With the recent opening of new expressways, travelers can also reach Mui Ne, a resort destination known for jeep tours of its White Sand Dunes, from the city in about two hours and 30 minutes.
Jin Air will provide all passengers on the route with 15 kg of free checked baggage, helping travelers carrying golf bags or local souvenirs avoid additional costs. To mark the launch, the airline is offering a 20% discount on fares through Oct. 31. The discount applies to travel from Dec. 24 through March 27 next year.
