Flight Availability
Vietnam Airlines fly turbo prop ATR72 aircraft to the island, and are currently the only commercial airline that fly's to the island. In recent years during the peak season additional flights have been scheduled (up to 8 flights per day) to ease the high demand for seats, so if you plan on visiting during the months of January or February and weekends or public holidays like Chinese New Year (TET) in particular, it is worthwhile booking early if you intend to fly, as seats can sell out far in advance.
