Vietnamese budget carrier VietJet launched on Sunday direct routes between Hanoi and Japan’s top travel destinations Nagoya and Fukuoka.
The Hanoi-Fukuoka route will see three return flights a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, while there will be four return flights between Vietnam's capital and Nagoya on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, with almost five hours flying per leg.
Following the routes connecting Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi to Tokyo and Osaka, new routes to Nagoya and Fukuoka have offered passengers more options when flying with VietJet between both countries.
Fukuoka, Japan's second-largest port city after Yokohama, is known for its beautiful beaches, ancient temples, diversity of nature, and rich culture. Nagoya is well-known for its landmarks like Nagoya castle and Atsuta shrine.
