India’s leading travel platform, MakeMyTrip, has announced the launch of exclusive holiday packages to Phu Quoc, Vietnam, featuring direct flights operated by Air India Express. Starting December 9, 2025, these flights will connect Delhi to Phu Quoc every five days, cutting travel time from eight hours via connecting routes to just five hours. The new service makes Vietnam’s most scenic island destination easily accessible for Indian holidaymakers looking for an exciting new international getaway this winter.
Seamless Travel Meets Unique Experiences
According to Jasmeet Singh, Chief Commercial Officer – Holidays and Experiences at MakeMyTrip, the new initiative is designed for Indian travellers who seek a blend of adventure, comfort, and value. Phu Quoc, often called Vietnam’s “Pearl Island,” has long remained underexplored due to the absence of direct flights. With Air India Express now connecting the two destinations, MakeMyTrip aims to transform it into the next big holiday hotspot for Indian tourists.
The packages have been curated to offer a hassle-free experience that includes Indian and Vietnamese meals, guided tours, and stays at top-rated properties. Travellers can enjoy pristine beaches, lush jungles, and vibrant attractions while experiencing a balance between familiarity and exploration.
A Collaboration Designed for the Modern Traveller
Manish Puri, Head of Global Sales at Air India Express, highlighted that this collaboration aligns with the airline’s vision to enhance travel accessibility and open new avenues for leisure exploration. “Our partnership with MakeMyTrip for the Delhi–Phu Quoc route is about connecting Indian travellers with emerging global destinations in a more affordable and convenient way,” he said.
This collaboration represents a shared goal between both brands—to simplify international travel and make it more enjoyable for a wider audience. The packages have been designed for all kinds of travellers, from couples seeking a romantic getaway to families looking for an all-inclusive holiday experience.
Phu Quoc: Vietnam’s Hidden Gem
Phu Quoc, known for its untouched natural beauty, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant nightlife, is fast becoming Asia’s most desirable island destination. Visitors can explore the world’s longest sea-crossing cable car, take in the magic of VinWonders theme park, or visit the island’s famous pearl farms. For couples, experiences like the Kiss of the Sea show and the stunning sunsets at Sunset Town add a romantic touch.
The packages offered by MakeMyTrip start at INR 49,999 per person for a 4-night, 5-day holiday, which includes flights, accommodation, transfers, sightseeing, and curated experiences. Travellers can choose from a variety of options—ranging from luxury beachfront resorts with private dinners to family-friendly stays that include activities and guided tours.
The Launch of Xpress Holidays
In addition to the Phu Quoc packages, Air India Express and MakeMyTrip have jointly launched Xpress Holidays, a new platform offering a range of domestic and international vacation packages. This initiative promises curated travel options that combine affordability with comfort and convenience, making global travel more accessible to Indian audiences.
A New Chapter in India-Vietnam Travel
With this partnership, MakeMyTrip and Air India Express are set to redefine how Indian travellers experience Vietnam. The launch marks not only a major step in tourism connectivity but also signals the growing appetite among Indians for new, offbeat destinations that combine adventure, culture, and relaxation.
