Vietnam Airlines: The Hidden Gem of Southeast Asia's Skies!
Southeast Asia's largest carrier, Vietnam Airlines, has been quietly surpassing expectations on long-haul travel. Originally focusing on domestic routes, they have recently stepped into the limelight as a beacon of Southeast Asian hospitality. On this very flight, we explore Vietnam Airlines' Premium Economy cabin aboard an 8-year-old Airbus A350-900.
Seated comfortably in our 14G seat, we're about to embark on an 8.5-hour red-eye adventure to Sydney!
Space, Space, and More Space!
The Premium Economy seat has been nothing short of fantastic, with generous legroom, width, and a 15-degree seat recline, and raisable footrest - all making for a copious amount of comfort. The sturdy, stowable tray table is hidden in the armrest and took me a mere 5 minutes to figure out. We're off to a great start!
Now, let's talk about the crew. Vietnam Airlines' staff is nothing short of exceptional. Their warmth and dedication to ensuring passengers have the best experience possible set a high benchmark for travel hospitality.
A Tasty T treat
Mealtime in Premium Economy catered to either Vietnamese or Western flavors, with a focus on the latter for this flight. I went for the Buttered Spaghetti with Chicken Meatballs in Tomato Sauce, and it was a delightful surprise! The dish, while not visually stunning, was filling and delicious, making it nearly impossible to resist multiple servings.
The Final Verdict
Vietnam Airlines Premium Economy offers generous legroom, exceptional hospitality, and tasty meals - making it an outstanding choice for long-haul travel between Ho Chi Minh City and Sydney. Though a few minor improvements (like Wi-Fi) could elevate it even further, Vietnam Airlines has certainly made a name for itself in the skies.
