MakeMyTrip has announced a launch of curated holiday packages to Phu Quoc, Vietnam, featuring exclusive direct flights operated by Air India Express starting December 9, 2025. These flights, scheduled every five days, will reduce travel time from eight hours via connecting routes to just five, making Phu Quoc easily accessible for Indian travelers seeking new international destinations this winter. This collaboration marks a major step in connecting India to Vietnam’s most scenic island destination.
Jasmeet Singh, Chief Commercial Officer – Holidays & Experiences at MakeMyTrip, emphasised that Indian travelers now prefer destinations offering unique experiences, easy connectivity, and value. Phu Quoc, though stunning, has been underexplored due to the lack of direct flights. The new service, coupled with MakeMyTrip’s tailored packages, promises a seamless experience that combines comfort and adventure. Packages include Indian vegetarian and non-vegetarian meals along with curated Vietnamese dishes, ensuring a balance of familiarity and discovery for travelers.
Air India Express’ Head of Global Sales, Manish Puri, highlighted that this collaboration reflects the airline’s vision to enhance travel accessibility and open new avenues for leisure exploration. The partnership with MakeMyTrip for the Delhi–Phu Quoc direct route underscores their commitment to inspire travelers to explore emerging global destinations while enjoying affordable and convenient travel options.
Phu Quoc, known as Vietnam’s Pearl Island, is a tropical paradise featuring pristine beaches, lush landscapes, and vibrant attractions. Visitors can experience the world’s longest sea-crossing cable car, VinWonders theme park, a wildlife safari, and famous pearl farms. For couples, the Kiss of the Sea show and Sunset Town’s nightlife add romance and excitement, making the island a year-round travel destination for all age groups.
The packages by MakeMyTrip cater to diverse preferences and budgets, ranging from luxury beachfront stays with private experiences to family-friendly tours that include transfers, sightseeing, and activities. Starting at INR 49,999 per person for a 4-night/5-day holiday, these packages offer flights, accommodations, and exclusive experiences—making them an excellent value for money option for Indian holidaymakers.
Additionally, Air India Express and MakeMyTrip have introduced ‘Xpress Holidays’, a comprehensive platform offering curated domestic and international vacation packages. Powered by MakeMyTrip, this initiative aims to provide travellers with seamless experiences that combine comfort, convenience, and value. With this launch, both brands reaffirm their mission to make global travel simpler, smarter, and more enjoyable for everyone.
