 Sample Travel Date:

  • March 18th – 26th, 2014

Fare Availability:

  • Valid for travel from March, 2014 – May 20th, 2014 or August 21st, 2014 – November 30th, 2014 for Monday through Thursday departures. Must purchase at least 3 days in advance of departure.

How to Search for Availability:

  • Use ITA Software Matrix Airfare Search and flexible month search to see availability — enable advanced routing codes and enter “aa+” on the outbound and return fields to search for this fare.
  • For AA flyer’s who want to try out American’s 77W service between DFW-HKG, you can route via HKG for the August – November travel period. It is about $200 more but significantly less than the straight DFW-HKG fare and stopover in HKG is just $100 extra. To find availability, use “aa hkg” on the outbound advanced routing code field and “hkg aa” on the return advanced routing code field. It is also booked in V class if you take that routing — so nice amount of EQP’s for those who qualify on EQPs vs EQMs.

Accommodations

For hotel bookings, we recommend that you only book using online travel agencies (Hotels.com or Hotwire.com) if it is a non-chain hotel. We don’t want you to miss out on earning rewards with chain hotels.

Car Rentals

Background Information:

  • Visa Requirements: US Citizens – Visa required prior to arrival. Prices vary. However, you may have an agent arrange a visa for pick-up upon arrival at Ho Chi Minh City Airport for a $20-25 handling fee paid upfront + $45 for the visa itself (also payable upon arrival). The Flight Deal team has used VietnamStay.com in the past for this service. It is much better than sending away your passport. Other nationals, check the TIMATIC Visa Database.
