VietJet Air

Not Verified | Tokyo to Danang. The tickets are cheap, but just be ready to take some risk. I booked two flights for instance where they didn't send me a confirmation or any information about one of them. They sent a lot of emails about the first one, so naive as I was, I didn't properly check my email. On the airport, I was forced to book a new one on the spot. Even though I could prove that I paid for the missing flight, they couldn't retrace it. Months of emailing (service desk and calling several numbers didn't work) went by with them constantly replying after a week or two. Very frustrating, but they agreed in the end in paying it back, minus the 40 dollars cancellation fee. So be sharp when flying with this company and know that you take a risk of them screwing you over. The good part? The tickets are still super cheap compared to others.

✅ Trip Verified | Ho Chi Minh City to Taipei. Very bad customer support and service. I was supposed to fly on 19 March 2020. Unfortunately, Taiwan gov announced a day before my flight, that non-citizens of Taiwan were not allowed to enter Taiwan due to the 2020 pandemic. I tried to contact them but was unsuccessful. Then tried to contact Skyscanner through which we booked the ticket. After so may emails and phone calls, as other airlines offered options for my other tickets including vouchers and full refund, Vietjet Air response is just merely ‘NO’. The call operator kept saying they could do nothing to assist; it was totally nothing they could do; It’s Taiwan government’s responsibility for it. We didn’t ask for the full refund, we then asked how about the tax and fee, could be request back because I didn’t fly. Again, answer is ‘No’, nothing. And she even tried to argue with me when I said that I was very disappointed of how they treat their clients, there was no support at all meanwhile we tried to contacted them so many times and in many ways. I have never filed with them, and I will never do. The worst airline ever I’ve had.

Not Verified | Phuket to Bangkok. They did not let me check-in for literally 3 minutes delay. I understand rules but it would be great to be slightly flexible. I will never choose or recommend this airline to anyone. Never faced anyone bad customer service as this one.

✅ Trip Verified | Tokyo to Ho Chi Minh City. Appalling airline, good luck if you have any problems with them. Was told I couldn't board due to visa restrictions 14 March, pointed out that the restrictions came into effect 15 March but still wouldn't let me board. Asked to change the ticket or refund at the airport, told it's not possible - you need to contact customer care. There are two phone numbers, one rings but never connects, the other connects but the only words you will get out of the customer service desk if you are not fluent in Vietnamese is "hello". Two email addresses, neither answers. Another dissatisfied customer. Worst airline I have ever encountered.

✅ Trip Verified | Phu Quoc to Ho Chi Minh City. On 22nd December 2019 we had a flight from Phu Quoc island to Ho Chi Minh city. It was an early morning flight and after landing in Ho Chi Minh we should have 7 hours to our next flight. Unfourtanely our flight got canceled, but the saddest part is that we were not informed before about cancellation and change to an alternative flight. When we got to the airport we could not find a check-in for our flight. When we asked about our flight in Viet jet ticket office. We experienced awful service, they were unresponsive. They did not try to help us and repeated 'What is your problem?'. Also, they said there is only one flight today to Ho Chi Minh city and there are no free seats. In Phu Quoc international airport there was not any free wifi service and we could not book flights through the internet. In other airline ticket offices were the same story - no seats left. In the end, Vietjet gave us new tickets for the next day. When we arrived at the Hotel we checked all flights from Phu Quoc and it turned that there were almost 8 flights to Ho Chi Minh. We missed our next flight from Ho Chi Minh and we received no compensation in the end. In summary a very bad experience. I would not recommend this airline, just not worth it. It is better to pay a little more to other airlines to receive great and safe service.

✅ Trip Verified | Ho Chi Minh to Denpasar. They charged me 30 dollars for 1kg over exceed of cabin baggage. I payed and took a bag, they said they need to check it in. How on earth they decided that i cant bring my bag with me is beyond comprehension, especially when i took the laptop from the bag now the baggage was 6.5 kg. I said, what now?

Not Verified | Phuket to Bangkok. VietJet is pathetic airline. They only care about making money. Substandard service. They asked me book another ticket at check in, with absurd reason that your you forgot to mention surname. They gave reason of immigration for domestic flight. Air hostess dance in flight, because that's the only thing they are good at.

✅ Trip Verified | Delhi to Bali via Ho Chi Minh City. One of the worst airlines I have seen. They ruined my trip by cancelling the flights from Delhi to Bali and was standing 6 hours inside airport just to know they are not operating because they do not have enough passengers. Is that a joke or what. Spent in lakhs for my trip and now my agent is denying to provide refund or any compensation for no show because of this.

✅ Trip Verified | Phu Quoc to Hong Kong. Expect the worst customer service from Vietjet. They have sent me an email stating that my flight was canceled and I should contact them either by email or a call on a "1-900" phone number where you actually have to pay extra to speak to them. Long story short, I sent them several emails over the days without answer. Finally I had to call and their decision is "this route is canceled, you can either get you money back after 15 working days or reschedule to some other month if the route starts operation again". What a joke! Basically I bought a ticket to fly me from A to B and, since the company decided to cut that flight, they will just kicked me out and refund my money after 15 working days (which has passed and I still didn't get the money back). Now I will probably have to spend more money calling their "1-900" service, to hopefully get the refund. Will never fly this airline again.

✅ Trip Verified | Hanoi to Da Nang. I booked a roundtrip flight with this airline Hanoi - Da Nang and both my flights have been moved to a different hour. The Da Nang to Hanoi flight was moved 5hrs from a preferred early time, thank God that my flight back from Hanoi to Manila was 5-6 hours away. Also, I noticed that their aircraft is dirty. I know that this is a budget airline but I think they will still respect their clients' time and always stick to the booked time. Delaying flights ruins a lot of itineraries.
