The new partnership allows Emirates’ passengers to enjoy connectivity on domestic flights within Vietnam, in addition to flights connecting Vietnam to Singapore, Thailand and Australia.

The new codeshare services from HCMC and Hanoi connect Emirates passengers to 14 Vietnamese cities beyond HCMC and six cities beyond Hanoi.

Emirates will also operate codeshare flights with Jetstar Pacific between the latter’s hub in HCMC and Singapore, as well as in Bangkok, all of which serve as connections for Emirates passengers continuing their travel to Brisbane, Melbourne or Sydney.

The Vietnamese cities covered by the new codeshare routes are Ban Ma Thuot, Phu Quoc, Dalat, Quy Nhon, Tam Ky-Chu Lai, Hue, Pleiku, Nha Trang, Vinh, Tuy Hoa, Dong Hoi, Thanh Hoa, Haiphong and Danang, in addition to HCMC and Hanoi. Under the agreement, Emirates’ flight number will be placed on Jetstar Pacific’s services to all codeshare destinations.

The codeshare partnership will give customers the convenience of purchasing connecting flights with a single reservation and a smooth ticketing, check-in, boarding and baggage check experience during the entire journey.

Passengers booking flights from 16 destinations in Vietnam, in addition to Hong Kong, Osaka, Taipei, Singapore, Guangzhou and Bangkok, will be able to connect in HCMC or Hanoi and fly with Emirates to many destinations worldwide.

Emirates travellers wishing to explore Vietnam can enjoy the flexibility of open-jaw flight bookings where they can fly into either HCMC or Hanoi and depart from the other city.

In addition to direct flights from Dubai to Hanoi and HCMC, passengers flying to Vietnam will now enjoy two-way connectivity to key destinations such as Danang, Nha Trang and Phu Quoc.
