Change for the worse

published

We have flown many times with Vietnam Airlines on the Sydney to HCMC route as well as internally in Vietnam. We have always been happy especially when we lashed out and flew business class. Unfortunately our last flight June/July had the 320 planes replaced by 777. We found the 777 dirty, old, uncomfortable and stressful. The return flight was so horrible that we will never fly with Vietnam Airlines again,

Very Suprised.

published

I walked onto the plane & though 'oh no.' That was me being a bit of a snob as the planes interior looked tired. That's where my doubts stopped. The staff were great. Very attentive and the service was great. And as far as airline food goes, I really enjoyed it. Food & service much better than what Emirates offered up on my last European flights with them. We flew Sydney to Saigon. Then later from Danang to Saigon & back to Sydney. The internal flight time did change by half hour but our transfer company notified us of the change so we had no problems. I think I would stick with my normal airlines for a long haul to Europe but Vietnam, I'd consider them again.

If you would like to have your flights changed 15 times before you leave and like to see the stop over times get longer and longer then this is the airline for you.

Give them a try

published

OK here's the thing this airline gets some bad press and I don't know why. We have tried then toSaigon Five times from Melbourne with great service in the air and on the ground. Food was good movies worked and the staff available if you wanted and always arriving a bit early. They have recently improved out of sight from a few years ago so I say try them it's so much easier than going Singapore Airlines via Singapore and then on to Saigon and the staff were unpleasant anyway but that's another story

Haven't even flown yet and already regretting my choice

published

I have three domestic flights within Vietnam booked for an upcoming holiday, so far I have had 6 changes made to these flights made by Vietnam Airlines which has played havoc with Hotel reservations, connections to cruises and has cost me a fortune in cancellation fees. The Melbourne call centre is quite useful when they are there, but are not much help outside of business hours Monday to Friday. The international call centre is a disaster, with having to make 10 international phone calls to people who refused to help, and then being either disconnected or hung up on before I finally found one man who attempted to help. I will be absolutely amazed if I get anywhere as planned given my experience so far.

i've been using this airline for years now, but just the last time I booked flights to vietnam from melbourne and vice versa, on each flight the plane smells like urine, really revolting! also on flights to and from Ho chi minh city the on flight entertainment was faulty, the airline needs to update the entertainment system. i will be booking my flights elsewhere from now on.

Customer Service Sydney

I booked my flight with Flight Center & it has been a nightmare with them.. I contacted Vietnam Head Office Sydney with my concerns & they have been amazing.. I am a frequent flyer with so called top Airlines, but the customer service from Vietnam Airlines is outstanding!!

Terrible staff interaction

From sceptical to fabulous

My friend & I flew VN Sydney to HCMC 03/09/2014 & had no complaints on this leg of the journey. Domestic flights were another story for another time, but our International leg was delightful. From the outset we met the Flight Captain & learned our aircraft was only a few months old which was comforting, however, all staff were delightful, not just The Captain. The aircraft was immaculately clean, meals were fine, adequate hydration was offered, & we'd rate this experience 9/10. Our only concern was with our booking company who preferred not to discuss upgrading us to Business Class for reasons known only to them, but this was certainly not any fault of the Airlines. Yes, we'd fly VN Airlines again, in particular, the International route

Dirty planes, text book technical flight.

published

Used the airlines on domestic flight from hanoi to ho chi minh city about 3 weeks ago, plane was dirty, toilets practicly unusable due to filth.
Crew was nice and polite. Older 777 plane, Amazing flight from point of view of piloting the plane, perfect landing and takeoff. ( we have been through several planes in the past 3 weeks and coming from a family of pilots and with a wife who is the worst flyer on earth (the irony) I can honestly say that this was the best text book flight we had and so does my wife!).

They refuse to change flight date due to their plane malfunction vn780 on 6th of May 2014

published

On the 6th of May, Vietnam airline VN780 have malfunction on their plane wings (http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-05-06/flights-at-melbourne-airport-grounded-following-emergency/5433214) And today, Im only asking to change the date and they not letting me change. They are trying to cover the problem. As a customer, I have the right to change my date for my safety. This is irresponsible and not taking responsibility. They are trying to get out of their trouble.

we are flying 2 adults and one 8 year old child this weekend from Melbourne to Ho chi Minh before continuing to Paris. We ordered kosher meals and now they tell us it is not available. This is really not acceptable. Also we were told the seats are 2,4,2 and we booked the front premium economy to find out we are scattered all over and seating is 2,3,2...I would like someone to provide a solution to our problem please. thanks

Good luck !!!!, Vietnam airlines only offer empty apologies and nothing else. My wife and I had a horrendous experience 2 months ago with them, it bordered on racism. Only to get a we are sorry and hope you have a better experience next time. There will never be a next time, I advise no one to fly Vietnam airlines ever.

Vietnam Airlines
Zack P.Vietnam Airlines

Hello Ariella,
Thank you for your request. Its hard to say anything as I do not see your reservation.
Please note, for future services you need to kindly contact your travel agent where you purchased your tickets and request to book your seats. Alternatively, you can login your reservation at our website and choose available seats 24 hours before departure.
Regarding meals, we do not offer Kosher Meals from Australia, We are sorry about that. We can offer vegetarian meals instead (they do not violate Kashrut, however we do not guarantee that kitchen equipment that we use was never in contat with milk or meat). If you are very careful about keeping kosher. you will need to take care about your own food.
Please note, Kosher food may be available on your flight from Paris to Vietnam, it should be requested by your agent in advance.

I’m flying economy, Melbourne to Ho Chi Minh City. It says my meal is included. Will I need money for drinks etc.?

No, drinks should be included. VN Airlines is great when it comes to providing food and drink in the cabin.

They just suck at not making last minute changes to people’s schedules.

The Y-man

Agree with Brain L - they are a "full service" airline, not a budget carrier. No need to buy anything on board. Only issue sometimes is finding the crew to help you - so don't be afraid to get up and walk to the galley to look for them.

No you don’t need money though they run out of European food even breakfast and are never hot
