Vietnam Airlines... My HONEST Long Haul Experience
We begin the homeward bound journey of this truly EPIC European travel series and the airline of choice to bring us there is Vietnam Airlines (VN). They aren't known as a top tier outfit, in fact friends who have flown them walked away less than enthused. Still, that did not stop us from giving them a fair go and ultimately decide for ourselves what is VN really all about.
You'll see that they operate an ultra modern fleet of long haul aircraft to take us the world over. The cabin crew are delightful enough there are no real faults to find. And the in-flight catering is some of the best I've experienced in economy class.
But there are still some glaring faults though which makes them somewhat rough around the edges. Come along with with me and explore what flying long haul with VN is all about.

I'm seriously impressed with your review, looked 5 star to me. Would I fly VN? Perhaps, maybe you've swayed me...great trip report. Thank you!

@ryansofly 2 месяца назад

I have one more VN video for this series which will be aired in 2 weeks. That'll be the final sector between SGN and MEL. Now THAT was on the newer and more modern A350. All in all, VN was a pleasant surprise and I'd fly them again even with that absolutely horrid transit time.

@ABTrainsYT Месяц назад

Ay up Ryan. If you ever come back to the UK, would you review our train services and tell us how totally not complete and utter poo they are 😂 I recommend the Class 390 pendolino which runs with Avanti West Coast from London’s Euston station up to the likes of Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Glasgow and Edinburgh. The 225 set which runs with LNER (London North Eastern Railway) from York and Leeds to London’ Kings Cross station. And then there’s High Speed 1, which until HS2 bothers to open is the UK’s only high speed railway which gives Queensland’s tilt train a run for its money (no offence), you can travel on the Class 395 to Kent from St Pancras International or the Eurostar to Paris or Brussels although double check with that one as UK/France border checks are getting tighter with these fingerprint things. We do have the train that inspired the XPT, and that’s the HST which at the time of writing this can be found in South West England and Scotland. And there’s plenty of heritage railways scattered all over the place, such as the West Somerset Railway from Minehead to Taunton, the Severn Valley Railway from Kidderminster to Bridgenorth, and the North Yorkshire Moors Railway from Whitby and Grosmont to Pickering to name just a few. Hope all that catches your eye, hope to hear back! Cheers! 🇬🇧🇦🇺 PS: Here’s a sub ;)

@ryansofly Месяц назад

Thanks for the sub! I'll be riding the LNER London to Edinburgh in a couple of weeks! 😊

@ABTrainsYT Месяц назад

@@ryansoflyThat’s cool, though that’ll be with the new Azuma trains as the 225s and HSTs ceased operations on the Edinburgh route more than a couple of years ago. As I said, the 225s only go as far as Leeds and York.

@TripReportaviation 2 месяца назад

Welcome to Vietnam. I've watched many Vietnam Airlines' long-haul flights, and they all seemed to have very good service. I have only flown their short-haul and medium-haul flights, and I admit that they're not as good as the long-haul.

Good call on the "cultural norms" so true! Last year's census revealed for the first time in our history the nation's highest salaries are from migrants of Chinese and Indian backgrounds. This trend is replicated in the US and UK as well. Attitude is a pre curser to success and of course great cabin crew.

There are some cultures with extremely strong service under tones. Thailand, Vietnam, Japan etc... it's been etched into their psyche.

Ryan I'm from the Gold Coast and mate 10yrs ago I was looking very closely with Vietnam Airlines. What I don't understand is why Australia doesn't look at this Airline. We have to transfer through either Asia or the middle east with Vietnam Airlines my husband will definitely choose Vietnam Airlines. Mate thanks

@ryansofly 2 месяца назад

Glad to be of assistance! But watch out for the transit times in Vietnam if you're using them to fly elsewhere. It can be very loooooong.... You'll soon see from my future episodes for this trip home.

Hello Ryan thanks for another objective Vlog. Seems this airline is starting to make a name for itself (as was SIA in the '70s). I wonder if some of that Vietnamese meal you enjoyed was prepared off-airport for authenticity ? I ask because MAS used to have satay prepared by a Malaysian restaurant and then taken to Heathrow. The UK manager of Jet Airways (when it operated to London) told me that catering (some of it maybe) was prepared by an Indian restaurant in Brussels before being taken to London.

@rachkate76 2 месяца назад

@ryansofly 2 месяца назад

The flight kitchen at LHR is very capable of preparing Asian stir fries very well. Some of the worst flight kitchens in Europe are actually FRA MUC ROM BRU... You generally do not order the Asian option if your meals are catered out of those kitchens. MH satays are actually grilled in a secretive kitchen in KLIA and double loaded for 2 flights because their long haul flights are all turn around with little to no ground time at destination. These satays are such a closely guarded institution since the days of MSA, and SQ too has a similar satay service although not as elaborate as MH.

@alexmcwhirter6611 2 месяца назад

Another great vlog. It’s nice to see a RU-vidr reviewing a poorer airline without the shitty unrealistic capitalism worship silly expectations heaped upon it, that it has to set the world on fire and become the next Tesla or Apple to be ‘productive’. How single minded. Sometimes we just need to come back down to earth a bit. The meals looked good and the service did too. I was saddened by the story of the man looking for his briefcase- I hadn’t heard of it before. I hope he is at peace- everyone deserves it when they pass. Looking forward to the next leg of your trip. ♥️

@ryansofly 2 месяца назад

I think most people forget how these low tiered airlines have a lot more to give because of their lower cost base. You know I love the paranormal, and in the course of research for this video - I found out Heathrow airport is one of the UK's most haunted locations. The briefcase man is just one of the many stories of LHR.

@rachkate76 2 месяца назад

@@ryansofly I agree- the small things make the difference for these sorts of airlines- who aren’t trying to be the next Emirates- they’re there to get you from A to B and humanise they experience while doing so.

@rachkate76 2 месяца назад

@@josephphillips9243 it was Rory Ding- I believe he lives in Adelaide as many popular Asian-origin travel channels in Australia seem to be. (Ryan and Jayden) I’ve seen him be more gracious and complimentary of other travel experiences and foods that probably didn’t deserve it- while watching him be overly critical of a country and airline brought to its knees not that long ago, was just bizarre. I’ve unsubbed from his channel and felt his criticisms of a country that was in excessive hardship country-wide where people were dying in the streets and left with no psychosocial support either, were out of touch, cold and unnecessarily critical.
