Creator's Key Takeaways
I'm going to give you nothing more than my own personal honest and unbiased opinion about my own experience
they are really comfortable seats my only two gripes would be the airbag in the seat belt which is just not comfortable to sit with
overall it was a perfectly nice little flight shame to see the hot meal service go by the wayside but I'll take a cold sandwich with a better seat any day of the week

I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that's the way I like it! #vietnamairlines #vietnam #tripreport
