Day 4: The Secret Behind Vietnam Tickets for Only $680 – Don't Miss This FREE Tool! 🤫
Everyone wants to return to Vietnam to visit family without "going broke" on airfare.
Last November, I wanted to find tickets from Portland to Vietnam for Tet but hadn't finalized the dates. The biggest issue was that prices changed every hour, and I couldn't sit and watch constantly!
So I used a tool that many people use but haven't fully exploited: Google Flights Price Alert!
I just went to Google Flights, searched for Portland (PDX) → Saigon (SGN) or Hanoi (HAN), picked any dates in January-February, then turned on Track Prices. After that, I could relax and do other work! 😄
Three weeks later, while working, my phone notified: "Price drop! PDX-SGN now only $680!" (Normal price is $1,100-1,300!) So I spent 15 minutes booking tickets for the whole family right away. The next morning, I checked and the deal had jumped to $950!
The setup is very simple, anyone can do it:
- Go to Google Flights (on computer or phone app).
- Enter your departure - destination (e.g., PDX-SGN, PDX-HAN).
- Select flexible dates (if available) or your desired time period.
- Click the "Track prices" button (Track prices).
- Choose notifications via email or app.
- And then just… wait.
Currently, I'm tracking prices to multiple destinations in Asia at the same time like Vietnam, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand...
A few small tips for flights to Asia:
- Set up price alerts 4-6 months before the trip.
- Good round-trip prices from PDX-Vietnam are usually $650-800.
- The best months to fly are February-March and September-October (try to avoid peak summer).
