I have flown with VN Airlines on the B787 and A350 in Premium Economy Mel-Hcm..Just comparing seats, I prefer the 787 as it has the 2-3-2 configuration and to me feels more 'premium'....the cabin and the seats in the 787 feels and appears more spacious and bigger than the PE in the A350.
On their A350 yes, but their 787 seating is much better. We really loved VN, but just wish they offered a 787 option all the way from Australia to Europe.
Great video. I just flew to London and back PE with Vietnam Airlnes and thought it was really good. My only gripe was what felt like a vast difference in the amount of legroom in the 777 than the A350. Hopefully at some stage they will marry up the two products as the London leg in the 777 was so much roomier
I flew Vietnam through to LHR business from SYD & the A350 is far quieter than the 787. Love the view from the Skyteam lounge at SYD too, av-geeks heaven! Another awesome vid.
Good to see the SkyTeam lounge at SYD has underwent some renovations. I flew with the airlines from MEL to SGN in economy in 2019, it was quite good. Menu was available back then, you could also order cocktails and instant noodles. I was lucky to be assigned to a seat at the row of the economy class cabin with better seat pitch for free.
I did VA Business Class SYD to FRA in 2019 for $4,000 which included a free hotel and city tour on the long layover in Hanoi. It was 1/3rd the price of QF. Service was spot on and the only complaint was the drab interior which looked a bit tired.
Great video Paul, as a regular PE flyer on this route (and the MEL SGN route), premium economy passengers actually get to check in the Sky Priority lane in SYD regardless of status. MEL has a dedicated check-in area for premium economy. Boarding is indeed chaotic, but you are allowed to board with Business Class passengers. In the chaos that's MEL, they actually announced that early boarding is allowed for Business, Sky Priority, and PE passengers. The one perk (albeit somewhat under-appreciated) when flying PE on the SYD SGN route is how quickly luggage comes out, often at the same time as Business Class passengers.
Thank you for the thorough and open review, Paul! As a Vietnamese student currently studying in Australia and regularly flying between the two countries, I was stunned after watching your video. Although I've never tried the airline's premium economy class on long-haul flights, the meal service provided for this ticket should have been more satisfactory. For instance, breakfast/lunch/dinner services on a Hanoi-Ho Chi Minh flight used to be served in ceramic plates/bowls rather than plastic ones. Wines were also served in glasses instead of paper cups. The meals were covered with either plastic wrap or aluminum foil (and yes, I'm talking about VNA's meal services for the Premium Economy class on this extremely busy domestic flight). The downgrade could be due to the effects of covid that led the airline to cut costs on these services. It's a pity to see how the flight crew handled the turbulence situation [and they forgot to add bread and butter to your second meal service, too?]. I can understand your disappointment with the IFE system. It has a limited selection of new movies. I flew between SGN and LHR back in 2019, and most of the movies on the system were either old or not that popular. I also don't understand why premium economy passengers don't have access to the priority lines and the lounge, as shown in your video. Vietnam Airlines should focus more on these details, besides the reasonable prices they charge, to attract even more customers to use the product. That way, we can compete with other airlines and improve satisfaction. I hope you had a great time in Vietnam! 😄
Very few airlines give Lounge access to Y+ passengers... The product shown looks pretty normal...although those meals were on the low end... As suggested, may be a COVID hangover...
I think the livery looks great on either aircraft. Plus the ladies' flight attendant uniforms are especially colorful (jade/teal mix?) I think for the price difference I would definitely fly Vietnam airlines PE. For long haul flights this would meet all my expectations. The IFE, well I would just read a book and listen to music on my iPod. Thanks Paul.
Last month I had a flight with Vietnam Airlines from Ho Chi Minh to Tokyo. I was supposedly in economy class but I was actually sat in a premium economy seat on a 787. The meal was still economy but it was certainly a nice surprise to find my seat was a premium economy one, and I only payed economy price for it so no complaints, but I don't understand why that was classed as economy.
Fascinating!! As an American, especially one who was drafted into the army just as the war ended (thank God), we have complicated ideas about Vietnam. Your video was an extraordinary glimpse into a country that, for those of us in the States, might well have been on Mars.
The A350 aircraft in your flight form Sydney to Ho Chi Minh City is the 9th A350 of VietNam AirLines have registration number VN-A894 was delivery to VietNam AirLines on November 5th 2017 I really happy because VietNam AirLines changed B787 to A350 for flight from Hanoi,Ho Chi Minh City to Sydney because A350 is my favorite aircraft in VNA fleet
I love Jurassic Park. It was great that Blue was reunited with her Baby. She came running when baby called. Ran off then came back to thank the man who trained her with a slight nod of thanks. As for Vietnam airlines. Well they look to have some strange goings on. Procedure wise.
Great videoing and detailed commentary as usual Paul. It was good to have included the spooling up of the Trent engines on takeoff - the Airbus 350-900 - a great aircraft.
Good summary with all salient points for someone thinking of travelling with them. The humour always a nice touch and you will always be my favourite bald travel guide. That other one is more a millionaire than bankrupt probably nowadays, ho - ho ( chi min ) .. ok, that was not that funny. Mind you, I'm laughing at it. Looking forward to the business class video. Real glass for the grape drink no doubt.
I went to Hanoi via Hi Chi Minh in early October by business class. Pretty sure I caught CoVid on the flight too. The transfer from International to Domestic Terminals in HCM city to fly to Hanoi was not easy with no help offered from Vietnam Airways and conflicting information. The worst part of the trip was these transfers. There is no direct flight to Hanoi from Sydney. Caution: the Vietnamese need to save ‘face’ so you might be told that help will be available with the transfer or someone will meet you but alas, it might not happen. I would fly again because the airfares are cheaper with VA but the transfers spoiled the experience.
I just curious what airlines help you to transfer when you not asking for help. Domestic and international terminal is a 10 minutes bus🤷🏻♂️ i flight business by jal and ana. I even need to transfer between haneda and narita by train
I flew this same flight and had quite a different experience. Just thought I’d let you know before you fly them again. Just before immigration at Tan Son Nhat, there will be VNA staff standing with signs and repeatedly calling out those who are transferring domestically. There they give you a transfer sticker and information to collect your baggage and turn right to the Vietnam Airlines counter just after passing through customs. That is where you drop off your baggage and staff will take your luggage to the domestic terminal, and check it in for you onto Hanoi. All you have to do from there is a short 5 minute walk to the domestic terminal following the signs. You should already have your boarding pass for SGN-HAN and can use the priority security screening at the domestic terminal. Should you need more help, there are lots of VNA counters and desks available around the airport who are happy to assist.
Just back from Nam…yes the transfer from international to domestic HCMC is testing…they told me that they would take my luggage to domestic….but got lost in the process and after a lengthy stint at lost n found at Da Nang it arrived a day later.😮
Great as I have come to expect from your videos now Paul! It looked like a pretty good Premium Economy video especially for a reasonable price. Also I smashed the 👍 button about 2 minutes into the review! 😁 Hope you enjoyed Vietnam Airlines 🇻🇳 especially on such a fabulous aircraft the A350! 🎉🎉 Can’t wit to see the Business Class video! Cheers 🥂 from Detroit MI 🇺🇸 Caleb’s Aviation 😎
In days gone by we used to always travel business using VA domestically. For not much you get the lounge and avoid all that unpleasantness of economy passengers and their cardboard boxes. When Jetstar did not fly to HCMC, we would wait for a good 'business' fare to Singapore and then fly VA business multi city. It was way cheaper than individual flights for some reason. Just don't go to central Vietnam in Summer.
The meals looked yummy! I realize the vid's a review on the airline, I sure would've loved to have seen the full take off at regular speed and landing :) Awesome video and tutorial! Thanks for sharing the experience. Seems like a decent plane and pretty good airline :)
Hey Paul ,premium economy on Vietnam Airlines would be my choice for just a little bit more money. When you landed at Saigon did you fly directly to Danang?
Bald and Bankrupt ?.... LoL. Love his videos too ! Hi Paul... talking about security...the new security screen area for T 1 , T2, and T 3 at Tullamarine, there is no priority lane . There is a separate queue for those in wheelchairs, etc. But , as I use a walking stick , staff let me jump the extremely long queue (22 Dec), only to join the confusion as to which line to enter at the end. 🤣 I like the shade of blue on the planes livery, I think it stands out quite well. I am glad you did go into too much more detail about your "rumbling down below" when you visited the planes loo, either. Meal looked decent too.
Vietnam Airlines website says you get priority check in at the Business Class check in counter and it also says your are entitled to priority boarding, so I'd be boarding with Business Class
@@PaulStewartAviation Before I book any premium economy seat I always check the airlines website to see what is included. I'm still hoping to one day magically see that it includes lounge access.
I think the paint scheme looks good on either airplane, especially since it is not mostly white, the mostly white planes are so boring but I understand why they do it.
Have you tried Bamboo Airways. The crew makes this airline. Also they are very responsive to customers. I was invited to the headquarter to fetch my membership card, that was lost in the post. They handed over the envelope, and was like: open it open it 🙂
Love the cloth seats over the pho leather on a longer flight. I think its something that needs to return to more airlines. Great review for an airline I want to try in the coming years.
Has anyone here flown this aircraft in row 15? Wondering as row 15 is the last in premium economy for Vietnam Airlines….trying to find out if the seat recline is impacted at all.
does anyone know why they take away the headphones towards the last hour of the flight and not allow you to use your own headphones either? As well as making you watch these ads/commercials for an hour of the flight...
Pretty terrible. Most of this stuff used to be standard on a long-haul flight with Vietnam Airlines. Now you have to pay hundreds of dollars! What a mess.
I was thinking of flying Vietnam Airlines as part of my next trip to London. The reviews are pretty poor so I won’t bother. Since the beginning of Covid, reviews of most airlines are poor. I’ve noticed on my last two trips to London that the service is poor on many airlines…even the ones that were previously excellent.
Hey Paul, just watching this video while chatting away with the car situation! I take it that you flew with Delta frequently to the States (pre-covid) or do you usually go through the Delta app/site while flying other SkyTeam routes for your status?
Not sure if you would know but I thought it was worth the ask! On their website it says a suitcase dimensions should be 158cm. I’m struggling to find a large one that is less than 165cm!! Have you had any experience regarding this?? Thanks 😊
were do you plan on flying to in 2023. In 2023 I plan to fly to London from Sydney with my mum on Singapore airlines premium economy Singapore airlines was the cheapest premium economy by-far
To me the 787 feels cheap and is aging fast, look at the cheap air vents, when you push them the whole area lifts up, bc of cheap thin plastic. the gaps in the cabin, looks like they used something from another plane. it is boeing. A350 looks like it has a professional designer, inside out.
@@PaulStewartAviation Thanks. I am wondering if you ever have issues filming in airports or onboard airplanes. I was thinking of making a video about an upcoming trip myself but don't want to do anything that could cause trouble or delays. Any advice about this would be highly welcome. PS: I could list which specific airports and countries I have in mind if that would be any help.
I think my viewers are bright enough to understand what I mean when I saw that something is included and when it's not. It would be misleading if I included the lounge but didn't mention that it wasn't included, hence why I didn't.

Another cracking video paul.
The livery will always look best on an A350, as its an Airbus.
It would be cool for them to use the 777-8/9 to sfo when they arrive. they only do 4 weekly flights. Or even use a 777-300er via Nrt.
Have VN announced that they're buying 777Xs?
@@PaulStewartAviation If they do, it would be cool. They prob will lease old 777-300er or 777x when they are financially stable.
If you watch Juan Brown’s channel you’ll know the AA 777 is down here because of high demand as it’s normally a 787 route.
