It's been a hot topic in travel-centric groups how daily expenses when traveling in other countries are almost the same price—if not cheaper—compared to our daily expenses in the Philippines. Take Vietnam, for example. There, a budget of P3,500 can cover your accommodation, activities, and food for a day.

If you'd rather go abroad and been meaning to visit North Vietnam (Hanoi) or South Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City), here's a bit of good news: Vietnam Airlines will soon launch direct flights to those destinations  from Manila this June.

Vietnam Airlines to launch direct flights between Manila and Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City:

Vietnam Airlines, Vietnam's flag carrier, announced on their Facebook page that they will soon have direct flights connecting Manila with Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City starting June 17. Before this launch, Vietnam Airlines offered flights to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, but with layovers.

The Manila-Hanoi flights will have three flights weekly, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, with flight numbers VN 646 going to Hanoi and VN 647 going to Manila, using the Airbus A321 for both routes. The flights to Hanoi are scheduled from 05:20 a.m. to 07:30 a.m., while the flights going back are from 00:05 a.m. to 04:20 a.m.

The Manila-Ho Chi Minh City flights will have four flights weekly, on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, with flight numbers VN 648 going to Ho Chi Minh City and VN 649 going back to Manila, using the Airbus A321 for both routes. The flights to Ho Chi Minh City are scheduled from 05:20 a.m. to 07:30 a.m., while the flights going back are from 00:50 a.m. to 04:20 a.m.

Vietnam Airlines promo for the Manila to Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi flights:
