Impressive Bamboo Airways 787-9 business class: trip report from Saigon to Hanoi
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 сер 2024
- In this video we take new, fast-growing and highly ambitious Vietnamese airline Bamboo Airways for a spin on one of the world's most-trafficked domestic routes: Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi. And what better aircraft to try them out on than the 787-9. They launched operations back in 2019 but we had a global pandemic for most of that so most of us from outside of Vietnam haven't had much chance to try them out. So, what are they doing right? And might they just be bringing some much-needed long-haul competition to the market, and keeping Vietnam Airlines on their toes? Watch and find out.
Congrats to Carson Tse who was the winner of this video's Gold FR24 subscription giveaway. He like many others had the correct answer: the busiest domestic route in the world is Seoul-Jeju.

We appreciate you flying with us! We are eager to assist you on the upcoming flights!
@Jibon Rajbongshi you really think this would happen??
I recently flew from LGW to HAN on 787-9 Sam Son Beach.
May I suggest putting that onto internal flights and putting one with plug sockets onto the long haul?
Other than that, smooth experience. Hopefully you'll go from MAN again 😉
I recently flew Bamboo for the first time from DAD to SGN. Nice, clean airplanes, and the staff were very friendly. I will fly with Bamboo again. Perhaps one day I will try the SGN to LGW route.
Thanks for yet another very watchable review, Gabriel. You never disappoint! At the moment, Jeju to Seoul-Gimpo seems to be the busiest domestic route.
Finally a new video and a nice giveaway :D The busiest domestic route is Jeju International (RKPC) to Seoul Gimpo (RKSS).
The trip report was quite nice. I didn’t hear of Bamboo Airways before I saw their 787 in Frankfurt one time. They have a great livery 😄
What a treat for this viewer to vicariously traveling over Vietnam! The name Bamboo Airlines is the first giveaway that I am FAR away! Can't say I like the interior that much, I don't like the color of the seats with the red seat belts but I am just being picky. What I did like was the hand written thank you note, they are really trying!
Always a joy to "fly" with you. Thanks again - Jim S
Thanks for watching!
The best travel videos on UA-cam. Nice job.
Busiest domestic route is CJU Jeju to GPO Seoul Gimpo, over 1.3 million seats annually, that's nuts! And international if I had to guess is JFK to Heathrow maybe? Anyway I love the dreamliner and the business class seats, my wife and I are flying business to cairo in April 2023 thru delta via air France with tons of stops, southwest 737 from ABQ to PHX, then a Delta E175 from PHX to LAX, then Air France 777 from LAX to CDG, then Air France 787 from CDG to CAI. This will be my first international travel and both mine and my wifes first business class experience, so excited! Would be more excited with a gold subscription to FR-24 😆 great videos, you should be a guest on Av talk with Ian and Jason one of these episodes!
Bamboos domestic lounge in Hanoi is amazing :) Flown a few times with them!
Stunning video man!
GMP to CJU. Love your reviews and am happy they allow you to prowl around the plane before boarding!
Yeeee! New video!
Excellent laid-back flight review as usual Gabriel! The busiest domestic route in the world is CJU-GMP.
World's busiest domestic passenger air route by aircraft movement as well as by passenger volume should be South Korea's Jeju (CJU) to Seoul (GMP).
Big fan of this channel btw, loved every video I've watched so far. Keep up the great work!
I'm loving your videos Gabe! I think the world's busiest domestic route is Seoul Gimpo - Jeju...
Another great trip report. The Seoul to Jeju seems to be the busiest according to other trip reporters.
Nice review Gabriel. I look forward to your review on a long-haul flights with Bamboo Airways. The world's busiest domestic route is Seoul/Gimpo - Jeju (GMP - CJU). The departure is so frequent that the departure hall in Jeju feels more like a bus terminal than an airport terminal!
Great video! Have been wondering what the cabin is like ever since I was pleasantly surprised by their nice lounge in Hanoi. Food looked pretty great for such a short flight.
I'm going through all these videos and enjoying them. I'm a very nervous flyer. For 16 years now the furthest I'll fly is Spain (just over 2hrs). I flew in the summer to Spain on TUI 787-8 I really like the dreamliner. Hoping to get over my fear and fly to new york with my best friend. Hopefully watching videos like this can help me actually enjoy flying 🤞
Dreamliner : Yeahhhh...😉👍💞💖💞
Seoul - Jeju - Seoul sector !!! Great video ❤️
Now I want to visit Vietnam!
Great video Gabriel! The number 1 busiest domestic route in the world would be Jeju - Seoul (CJU - GMP) according to October 2022 OAG data.
Jeju to Seoul, I believe--and apparently I'm not alone in that belief...
CJU-GMP still holds the crown.
Seoul-jeju
Thanks Daniel for an interesting overview of a domestic Bamboo Airways flight. I believe Jeju International-Seoul Gimpo (CJU-GMP) is the busiest domestic flight route at present. I’m looking forward to your Vietnam Airlines return flight to Ho Chi Minh City (SGN).
CJU-GMP. Love the colors of the seats.
Really like the Vietnam Airlines livery. Very swish!
Great to see this Vietnam with its success, beauty and commerce. Hard to believe in this lifetime we were bombing the crap out of Hanoi, etc and now look. As always, FR and Gabriel come through. Shall we see any on-ground video of Hanoi etc, outside of airports? Thanks for the great production.
Those Bamboo Airways seats looks great for such a short flight! Busiest domestic route is Seoul to Jeju.
Congrats Carson Tse that is the correct answer and you've won the Gold subscription giveaway! Email me, gabriel-at-fr24.com or get in touch via Instagram (@gabeleigh) to claim the prize.
Reall good looking livery! The number 1 busiest domestic route in the world would be Seoul (GMP) to Jeju (CJU) as of OCT 2022!
Jeju International-Seoul Gimpo (CJU-GMP) - Great video thanks✈🛫🛬
My busiest route answer is between Seoul (GMP) and Jeju (CJU)
Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi
Nice video my friend.
Jeju-Seoul
Thank you for the impressive video from one of just three 787 in Bamboo Airways's Fleet! I'm really happy that you pointed out the noise level in the cabin. Until I saw your video I've read only best opinions about their quiteness. I couldn't understand it, meybe people hadn't opportunity to compare with Airbus counterparts...?
I had the same impression, even never flown with A330 before. Is it comparable with A330ceo or A330neo? I also expected lower noise level especially in the cruise on 787. My seat was on Saudia's 787-9 just behind the wings/engines at the window. The engine sound is really very quiet, but the increasing other surrounding overall noises prevented me to hear the PA's clearly or sleep without earplugs during the cruise.
I saw the YT documentation about 787. It was a big concern for Boeing to decrease the noise footprint, but I think they meant the outside noise level, not that much the cabin interior noise. That also explains why the sounds of the engines is very low even behind them in the economy cabin. The Boeing engineers saved the weight of the aircraft by using lighter+stronger fuselage materials but it also means that the insulation in the fuselage got thinner. Unfortunately, without much of benefits for the passengers. Especially for noise sensitive people like me. 777 is of course much more noisier during the TO, but in cruise is very comparable with 787 (Flying from Manila with 77W to Jeddah, then with 789 from Jeddah to Paris).
The A350 remains for me just unbeatable in terms of passenger comfort, including cabin noise level in cruise, even on window seats behind the engines. A321neo makes here huge improvement for passengers' comfort comparing other "ceo" narrowbodies in my opinion too.
Jeju is a major, if not THE major honeymoon destination for Korean newly weds! And where to most people in Korea live, they live in Seoul!
Seoul to Jeju is the busiest domestic route - so many widebodies on that one!
The busiest domestic route in the world is CJU- GMP (Jeju to Gimpo, Seoul) with 1.4 million seats in October 2022
Most busy domestic route is GMP-CJU (Seoul Gimpo to Jeju)
Seoul to Jeju Island 🇰🇷
Busiest domestic definitely Jeju to Seoul-Gimpo. Not sure if things have changed in recent times though.
The busiest domestic route is Seoul Gimpo - Jeju. Curious what seat number did you get for this flight? The engine view is insane.
JEJU INTERNATONAL -SEOUL GIMPO GOOD VLOG.
Jeju-seoul
Easy have flown this route a few times Seoul-Jeju
Seoul -Jeju is most travelled domestic
Shanghai - Beijing (outside of Covid) sees a ton of widebodies every day and departures nearly every half hour.

sydney/ melbourne
I Havet fly on Bamboo Airways yet.Real Business Class 1-2-1 On low cost airlines. maby London to New York.Great work
Welcome to Vietnam.
Seoul - Jeju
Again a very nice video Gabe! And I believe that Jeju (CJU) - Seoul (GMP) is the busiest route at the moment, for the giveaway ;-)
The one and only... Seoul - Jeju
Seoul to Jeju in Korea...
Jeju (CJU) - Seoul (GMP)
Saigon to Hanoi.
Ofcourse Jeju - Seoul ( CJU - GMP )
Thank you for the trip report. The cabin has cheap seats in Economy (wont feel happy to spend there 6+ hours), basic version of business class seats. It is interesting you measured sound level - my personal experience flying new generation of aircraft is that A350 is offering a completely better level of comfort including very qiote cabin (and certainly A380), which is not there with B787.
The busiest domestic route is Jeju International (RKPC) to Seoul Gimpo (RKSS).
You commented about the airport in Saigon. It's a great improvement over the early 70's when I was flying in and out of there in US Army helicopters! Haha....just sayin!
Jeju - Seoul-Gimpo
You should try the new airline from Norway called Flyr
Seoul ICN Jeju CJU
GMP-CJU route
Seoul / Jeju / Seoul
HKG-TPE would be my guess.
Jeju Int to Seoul maybe
I thought LAX-LAS but Jeju-Soeul seems to beat that.
Jeju to Seoul was in 2021
CJU-GMP
Busiest domestic route is between Seoul (GMP) and Jeju (CJU)
Thanks for another great video review.
Pre Covid-19 it was SYD MEL that took a flag for being the busiest
Jeju -Seoul (CJU-GMP) :)
This has filled me with a lot of nostalgia as I used to live in Vietnam and flew this route countless times. Funny, because this was over ten years ago and it seems funny they STILL haven't got round to doing up the domestic terminal at SGN, even though they've been talking about it for years. In my days, it was Vietjet, Vietnam Airways and one more, which I forget the name of, although I think it went out of business. It was also only narrow bodies only and not so many of them - more and more people are able to fly these days, clearly, which is good to see. Also good to see them provide competition on direct routes to Europe and Australia. I always flew home on the Middle East carriers and flew to Aus via SIN. Nice round up.
Seoul to Jeju Island should still be the busiest domestic connection in the world.
Great video Gabriel! I believe it’s the Seoul and Jeju route
(CJU-GMP) in 2022
It's Jeju- Seoul Gimpo
