Starting November 7, Vietjet Air will resume the Da Nang – Phu Quoc direct flight route, offering four round trips per week on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. Flights will depart from Da Nang at 10:20 am, while the return flight from Phu Quoc to Da Nang will leave at 12:30 pm. The flight duration is approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes.
November is considered the ideal time to relaunch direct flights from Da Nang to Phu Quoc, as the Pearl Island officially enters its most beautiful season of the year. During this period, temperatures in Phu Quoc range from 28 to 30 degrees Celsius, with minimal rain, calm seas, gentle waves, and warm sunshine, which are perfect conditions for outdoor activities and exploration.
For international travellers who prefer beach destinations in Vietnam, this is great news. The connection between Da Nang and Phu Quoc will make it easier for visitors from countries with direct flights to Da Nang, such as India, Japan, and Indonesia, to connect seamlessly to the island.
Especially visitors from the Republic of Korea (RoK) market, the Da Nang-Phu Quoc travel route can be seen as an exploration of the most famous destinations in Vietnam. If the RoK consistently ranks among the top three international markets sending tourists to Da Nang, Phu Quoc is emerging as a newly popular destination for tourists from the RoK. It has consistently topped the list of preferred international destinations for them during the summer months of 2024, according to a survey by the Rankify data network.
Among Vietnam's coastal destinations, Da Nang and Phu Quoc are arguably the two most distinctive beach spots, each offering a unique experience essential to any traveller’s journey. Da Nang, Asia’s leading event and festival city, presents a vibrant and modern atmosphere.
In Da Nang, visitors can experience the vibrant pace of life in this destination, with festivals and events taking place year-round.

Da Nang is considered one of Vietnam's top tourist hubs, with its combination of beaches, forests, mountains, and iconic landmarks. |
The city also offers unique experiences that many international tourists love, such as taking the cable car to the summit of Ba Na Hill to admire the world-famous Golden Bridge, playing volleyball and swimming at My Khe Beach – known as the most beautiful beach on the planet, watching the Dragon Bridge spout fire and water every weekend, or heading to Son Tra Peninsula to enjoy the pristine forest right in the heart of the city.
In particular, the arrival of the Michelin Guide in Da Nang in the summer of 2024 has made the city a global culinary destination, attracting food enthusiasts from around the world.
Meanwhile, Phu Quoc, Vietnam's largest island, is the perfect choice for those looking to enjoy a true "getaway" vacation. Visitors can escape the hustle and bustle of major cities and immerse themselves in a peaceful island environment, surrounded by pristine nature, fresh air, and unique experiences unlike any other.
Phu Quoc has been frequently mentioned by international media recently, earning a reputation as a "hidden gem" awakening to become increasingly outstanding compared to other islands in the region, such as Bali or Phuket.
In 2024 alone, the island was named the second-best island in the world by Travel + Leisure, right after the Maldives, and for the third consecutive year, it was ranked among the best islands in the world by Condé Nast Traveler.
According to a leading US travel magazine, Phu Quoc is an emerging destination in Asia, with all the characteristics of a tropical paradise, including pristine white sandy beaches and a true sense of tranquillity.
Phu Quoc is also one of the islands in the world with an excellent visa policy. International visitors to Phu Quoc are granted visa-free entry for up to 30 days, making it ideal for those looking for an extended winter vacation without worrying about paperwork. Additionally, visitors from 13 countries, including Russia, Japan, the RoK, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, and Belarus, are granted visa exemptions for up to 45 days.

In addition to its beautiful nature, Phu Quoc also boasts many iconic tourist attractions such as Sunset Town, the Kiss Bridge, and year-round fireworks displays. |
In Phu Quoc, what truly captivates visitors is the opportunity to immerse themselves in the beautiful nature, whether it is lounging on some of the world's most stunning beaches, watching the most beautiful sunset in Vietnam, or diving to explore the vibrant underwater world of the Pearl Island.
One of the most recommended experiences by international media in Phu Quoc is the Guinness World Record- holding a three-wire cable car to Hon Thom Island, where visitors can enjoy a bird's-eye view of the sky, sea, and the entire Pearl Island.
The “Kiss Bridge”, a unique “non-touch” bridge recognised by CNN, is the perfect spot for couples to express their affection while witnessing the most stunning sunsets in Phu Quoc. Another popular attraction is the multimedia show "Kiss of the Sea", featuring 60 international artists, and blending eight different performance art forms.
Moreover, Phu Quoc is known for its year-round fireworks displays, ensuring that every evening of the vacation is memorable. At the end of the year, the joy in Pearl Island is “overflowing” with spectacular new shows like Symphony of the Sea, which combines jet skiing, flyboarding, and fireworks, as well as the 365-day beer festival in Sunset Town.

Phu Quoc's southern islands will treat visitors to a series of exciting, world-class performances at the end of the year. |
With direct flights from Da Nang to Phu Quoc and the upcoming addition of more direct flights from other cities to Phu Quoc, the journey to explore Vietnam will become increasingly complete and easier for tourists.
The reputation of Phu Quoc as a tropical paradise will continue to gain international fame, making it a “must-visit” destination for experiencing the vibrant beauty of Vietnam, much like Bali and Phuket have done for their countries.
