Airlines must strictly comply with legal regulations on domestic air transport prices, sell tickets within the price range and price policy of the airline; strictly control ticket sales activities of agents, ensuring that selling prices comply with regulations.

Trains and buses still have plenty of seats.

If you cannot travel by air, during the upcoming September 2nd holiday, people can choose to travel by train or bus. According to a survey by reporters, to meet the increased travel demand, in addition to the regular daily trains, the Railway Transport Joint Stock Company will add 51 trains to serve the travel needs of people during the National Day holiday on September 2, 2025.

The additional trains are mainly on the Hanoi - Ho Chi Minh City route, the train sections such as Hanoi - Hai Phong/Da Nang/Lao Cai/Vinh/Thanh Hoa/Dong Hoi and Ho Chi Minh City - Quy Nhon/Nha Trang/Phan Thiet, Hue - Da Nang. In addition, the Railway sector also set up 2 separate trains to transport about 1,200 soldiers from Hanoi to Tam Ky and Ho Chi Minh City on September 3 after completing their duties at the parade. As of the afternoon of August 21, 2025, more than 70,000 train tickets had been sold, reaching a rate of 41% over the same period.

For passenger buses to and from Hanoi, the number of passengers and vehicles is expected to increase during the National Day holiday this year from the afternoon of August 28-30 on both departure and arrival directions. The number of passengers will increase on September 1-2 and will gradually decrease on September 3-4.

"The highest number of passengers on peak days is about 20,000-22,000 passengers/day for departure and about 10,000-12,000 passengers/day for return, an increase of 350% compared to normal days. Hanoi Bus Station Joint Stock Company also increased 1,000 passenger cars distributed by day and route depending on the increase in passenger volume," said Mr. Pham Manh Hung, Director of Hanoi Bus Station Joint Stock Company.

During the time Hanoi City closes roads to serve the activities of the 80th National Day Anniversary, traveling to the airport, railway station and bus station may be difficult, therefore, transport units recommend passengers to arrive early before departure time to ensure not to miss the trip.

With the high number of passengers during the peak period of National Day, the transport unit has also proactively increased resources and added personnel to support passengers in completing procedures quickly and conveniently; increased information signs, instructions and guidance for passengers; arranged the most convenient parking locations for operating bus and taxi routes; coordinated with the local Department of Construction to have a plan to transfer passengers when congestion occurs at the airport, bus station and train station areas.
