New Changes - Vietnam Airlines AIRBUS A350-900 (Economy Class) | Melbourne to Ho Chi Minh City

Vietnam Airlines operated two flights connecting Victoria's capital to both Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, operated by the AIRBUS A350-900. This year after Bamboo Airways decide to close their doors for long haul operations, leaving only VN and Vietjet to basically compete against each other. I got a fond for Vietnam Airlines flying their A350s and 787 into Melbourne, so let's book them for a review.
There is some changes onboard that I thought they exist but sadly, I was met with the wrong expectations, but at least the crew is awesome. Sadly no A350 cockpit photo cuz captain left, which makes me really sad. At least the flight is really good. Also correction add on, the airbus does not have any air vents so basically a heater turned up too much or the AC gone full blast freezing me as well lol.

Firstly : I’d love to say … thank you for a great blog and it was very very informative 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Sencondly : $3300 for a round trip .. I thought you said you were flying economy ?? Even when I flew on the 29th December 2023 .. with my 1 month visa and health insurance I only paid $2200 . This latest flight I’m going on in August with flight , health insurance and 5year visa is on $1480 Finally : What are the new changes that you said about in the title because from what I saw it was the same as my flights there to my wife and son to HCMC ?

[@TomsAviation]

Firstly, thank you for the awesome review. Secondly, the fare is $3300 AUD (Australian Dollar), and sadly Vietnam Airlines removed the amenity kit from Melbourne bound flights (which is sad because before they provide awesome stuff). plus yes, I paid economy flex which cost a bit more + I booked this trip a month before the flight basically I knew the fares will get expensive especially during xmas.

Thanks good information but can u tell me whether they provide food and drinks also or not 🙏

[@JH-rv3vu]

As a frequent flyer to Vietnam from Melbourne to HCMC … yes food and drinks are included on Vietnam Airlines . It’s the budget ones like Viet Jet that don’t include food and drinks

i have titanium lotusmiles card too, does it have a priority line for titanium cardholder? and extra piece of check in luggage? i have read on the vietnam airline website, they said titanium cardholders can get on the priority check in counter and extra piece of check in luggage

[@TomsAviation]

yes for titan members for Vietnam Airlines, they do have priority check in for all flights flying anywhere, including priority boarding + priority bag which is nice as well. Although they offer you an additional check luggage, but that second one and the one you carrying can't be over 23kg.
