TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Just in time for the Christmas and New Year holiday season, Vietnam Airlines is launching a new direct flight route from Jakarta to Hanoi. Beginning tomorrow, Sunday, November 23, 2025, the route will operate with a frequency of five flights per week.
The launch responds to the growing enthusiasm of Indonesian travelers toward Vietnam, a trend that continues to show positive growth.
In the first half of 2025, online travel agent tiket.com recorded a more than 200 percent increase in flight bookings from Jakarta to Hanoi compared to the same period the previous year. This surge confirms the significant interest of Indonesian tourists in Vietnamese destinations, particularly the capital, Hanoi.
As a full-service airline and a member of the SkyTeam alliance, Vietnam Airlines offers travelers a premium alternative, providing comprehensive in-flight services and superior cabin quality.
Tickets for this new route are available for booking via tiket.com, which serves as the first online travel agent (OTA) in Indonesia for the route.
"We are very excited to welcome the new Vietnam Airlines route from Jakarta to Hanoi. The presence of this route expands the choice of international destinations for our consumers. This also strengthens tiket.com's commitment to providing easy and comfortable travel experiences. We hope that more Indonesian tourists will be inspired to explore Vietnam through this new route," said Andi Hendrawan, Director of Transportation, tiket.com, in a press release received November 21, 2025.
Closer Access to Vietnam's North
The direct Jakarta-Hanoi route significantly opens up more convenient access to top tourist destinations in Northern and Central Vietnam. From Hanoi, travelers can easily reach:
- Ninh Binh (2-hour overland journey).
- Sapa (5-6 hours by train or bus).
- The UNESCO World Heritage site, Ha Long Bay (approximately 2.5-hour journey).
Hanoi's strategic location makes it a favorite initial gateway for foreign tourists looking to explore Vietnam further, offering a captivating blend of culture, history, and cuisine.
As the national airline of Vietnam, Vietnam Airlines is known for its reliable service, cabin comfort, and distinctive Vietnamese hospitality. The launch of this regular Jakarta-Hanoi route is expected to strengthen connectivity between the two countries and expand access for Indonesian tourists to popular international destinations.
Ticket bookings can be made directly through the tiket.com app or website. Customers can also use the promo code FLYSALE to receive instant discounts and cashback of up to Rp600,000 for international airline ticket purchases with a minimum transaction of Rp1,100,000.
