Vietnam's low-cost airline is to begin flights between Hanoi and Con Dao Island from 19May2012. The air firm is to have flights on Wednesday and Saturday departing from Hanoi at 13:10 hours. The flight takes 2 hours and 10 minutes.
Besides, Air Mekong is to increase the non-stop flights between Hanoi and Phu Quoc Island to 9 return flights per week. The airline is in a good position to meet the surge in demand for air travel among the Vietnamese tourists in the summer when kids have a long summer holiday.
Con Dao Island and Phu Quoc Island are two offshore islands in southern Vietnam with secluded white sand beaches and untouched eco-system. Those beautiful they are, but the islands remain relatively off the travel itineraries of most foreign travellers to Vietnam. There are more and more well-to-do families from Hanoi traveling to these destinations nowadays.
