Only one company ‘Vietnam Airlines’ serves the domestic flights. We took 3 flights with them and had no problems at all with delays or cancellations (although especially the trip from Saigon to Hanoi is said to be prone to cancellations if the flight is not full). Service was always correct. You can change the time of your ticket for free, cancellation costs 10 US$. For some trips it's best to book a few days in advance (f.i. Saigon - Nha Trang can be fully booked)
Tickets can be booked at their office. You can also book at the local travel agencies but this has some small disadvantages
- they charge a handling fee of about 20.000 VND
- If you pay with credit card, they'll add 3% commission (unlike Vietnam airlines)
- If you want a refund of you ticket, you'll loose not only 10 US$ cancellation fee, but also the 5% commission of the travel agent.
