Vietnam Airlines Airbus and 787 Business Class - Not What I Had Planned

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Vietnam Airlines Long-Haul Business Class has been high on my list to fly for a long time. Vietnam Airlines is a member of the SkyTeam Alliance, but that was about all I knew about Vietnam Airlines. So, when I recently needed to travel from Shanghai to Frankfurt, I discovered the perfect itinerary with Vietnam Airlines with a layover in Ho Chi Minh City. The first leg, from Shanghai to Ho Chi Minh City, would be operated by one of Vietnam Airlines A350s (my favorite airplane. The second, from Ho Chi Minh City to Frankfurt, would involve a Vietnam Airlines Boeing 787. What a great comparison of two rival aircraft, both operated by the same carrier Vietnam Airlines. Unfortunately, Vietnam Airlines had something else in store for me In the end, thanks to an unexpected Equipment Swap, I got the chance to try out Vietnam Airlines Airbus A321 Business Class on the first leg as well as Vietnam Airlines 787 Business Class on the second one. Join me on this review of Vietnam Airlines long-haul business class. Well explore Vietnam Airlines lounge, Vietnam Airlines business class seat, Vietnam Airlines inflight entertainment, Vietnam Airlines food, and Vietnam Airlines crew! Ill even give Vietnam Airlines a JebScore! I cant wait to return to Vietnam and try Vietnam Airlines again

Speaking of people who flip their hair over their seat. One time I had a flight from Cape town to Heathrow on British Airways in economy. And the lady in front of me kept flipping her hair all the over my inflight entertainment system. I said something to her but she kept doing it. It was probably the worst 12 hour flight because she was completely oblivious and told the stewardess I was being abusive. And got the stewardess got thr police in London involved because apparently she was scared of me. (Admittedly I am pretty intimidating in appreciate being 6 foot 5 and not skinny with a massive beard down to my chest) but I asked her politely a few times to not but she didnt so I eventually gave up and just watched some stuff on my phone. And thankfully the police were cool in london.

We were a little worried when we found that Vietnam Airlines was the one chosen by the cruise company. I can only say sorry to the airline because, like you, I loved it. As you said there was nothing special about the seat but I think that given the amount of storage, the excellent screen and the comfort - I would have gone four stars. There are a lot worse flatbed seats around. On all else, I agree. Food and service were as good as they get and I would not hesitate to fly them again. I enjoy your vlogs and look forward to more when the world gets back on its axis again.

This man is the most boring person I've ever heard talk EVER! Although I needed a nap anyway, I'm sorry I wasted my time watching this video! I would have rather had a root canal on everyone of my teeth without any pain killer all day long than having suffered through this video in a drowsy state (thanks to the video) dude your video and probably videos completely sucks! Good day and never again, there's 10 minutes of my life I'll never get back!

I once had a Delta swap. Domestic first class from a B757 to a B767 with lie flats. That one worked out in my favor and I had a great flight from ATL to SFO. I think in the situation you experienced, you should be compensated with miles or a partial cash refund. Would never happen, but would be the honorable thing for the airline to do.

I fly PVG-SGN route 5-10 times a year and it happens quite often that they changes from A350/B787 to a A321. I suspect they change whenever a limited seats are occupied, as I have never experienced anyone complaining at check-in about not getting on the flight
reply

Pleased you took the Vietnamese food option. I struggle to understand why people go to Vietnam and don't eat local food. It is superb.
Not pleased with your typical yank pronunciation of the country's name. Veet Narrmm!

Sorry this video was not worth monetization
Dexter score = 1 out of 5
Based on constant whining, trying to emulate someone who is polite, but does not work with the constant digs. Extremely poor video quality (0)

reply

The a350 and 787 compare really close but the a350 completely crushes the 787 in terms on windows, 2 min 57 sec to completely in dim in the 787 not even 2 seconds to open a window shade in any other plane
reply

Can you review economy! We get business is good an all. But what about economy. That actually matters because its all most people can afford every airline review just reviews business and first lol
reply

Who hates the 787 window? It doesn't have those pesky shades and is flipping HUGE! Its a Love or Love window bro! LOVE your videos though, even if your favorite plane is the a350. Ill forgive yoU!
reply

I'm due to fly their business class 787 MEL-SGN-LHR return in July 2020. Everything I hear tells me that they're on a continual improvement curve so I'm really looking forward to this flight.
reply

Must be kidding me. The food on VNA is great? No offense, but what ever VNA business class food that you so on this video is plain, boring, and. try asking people to taste them blind
reply

Im sure the reasoning behind the slow window brightening is to not flood the cabin with light when it opens. Instead, gradually brightening.
I couldnt explain the slow darkening.

I tried VN back in December 2015 and I was flying the A350. for the inbound flight I went via Hanoi and outbound via Saigon. Hanoi airport and lounge was like super dead. terrible
reply

Those Latam are leased by Qatar Airways there are four of them, A7-AMA, AMB, AQA, AQB. they used this aircraft in asia in HAN, SGN & CMB also this aircraft regularly visit BCN
reply

Hey Jeb, even the Vietnamese call it Saigon! Every American I know REFUSES to call it HCM City. Do all of us who remember the war and do the same. It's SAIGON and always will be!
reply

I went to Vietnam in December last year and the service on their flight was excellent and even the food there is amazing, I highly recommend Hum in Ho Chi Minh city!
reply

787 windows are the best, they can be locked by the flight attendants preventing that one jerk in the cabin from opening their shade and ruining everyone's sleep.
reply

The fabric of the seat looks kinda cheap and old. The lounge at the HCM airport looks so old fashioned. They even have wooden arm rest for their sofa.
reply

dude the plain design is our type of design. The Vietnamese design because these colors are natural colors that give you a relaxing tone of colors. lol
reply

I recommend the Le Saigonais Lounge at Tan Son Nhat Airport. It's significantly better than the Vietnam Airline's private lounge that you visited: )
reply

1: 14 ah yes the vietnam airlines signature emergency substitute a320/321, they always have one of these stashed away somewhere just in case
reply

Hey Jeb, fancied your review; and I did fancy the seat, I would have marked with 5 stars; the rest I agree with you completely cheers TA
reply

Great trip report! It's nice to hear that you had a good experience with the crew. The crew of VNA aren't usually good as on your flights
reply

I have a question. Is the interior noise levels the same through all classes or is it a bit quieter in the business/ first class?
reply

The 787 looks old and wornout. needs a refresh interior and cleaning 4 sure. The a350 may be better since its abt 3-5 yrs newer
reply

I have flown out of Pudong lots of times, it great to see all of the shipping in the background when departing from T2.
reply

Jeb Vietnam airlines domestic flights interesting definitely give them a shot and yes Saigons airport is nicer than Hanois
reply

Thanks
I enjoy the video
However please say Saigon and Saigon city is easy to hear than other name
Thanks
