Changsha to Open Direct Flight to Hanoi

　　Hunan Branch of China Southern Airlines will open a direct fight between Changsha and Hanoi on March 26, marking Hunan’s first direct fight to capital of Vietnam.

　　The Changsha-Hanoi flight on Airbus A320 will be operated every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.

　　It will depart from Changsha at 6:50 am (Beijing time) and arrive in Hanoi at 8:00 am (local time). The return flight will leave Hanoi at 9:00 am (local time), arriving back in Changsha at 12:05 (Beijing time) pm.

　　The new airline service will shorten flight time between Changsha and Hanoi from six and a half hours to two and a half hours.

　　Hunan Branch staff introduced that it would offer rock-bottom fares of 860 yuan (930 yuan of taxes excluded) for round-trip ticket from March 7. However, the airfare is subject to the official website of China Southern Airlines.

　　Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam and the country's second largest city, is known as Spring City in Vietnam. Every March due to few rainfall and blooming flowers, the city has become an ideal tourist destination for travelers.
