What is the best time to purchase Tet 2025 air tickets?

The peak period of Tet 2025 is from the December 25 lunar calendar (Friday, January 24, 2025 Gregorian calendar) to the December 29 Lunar calendar (Tuesday, January 28, 2024 Gregorian calendar). Therefore, if you want to purchase cheaper air tickets, choose a travel time before the peak period.
