Too Sexy to Fly? Vietnam's Notorious "Bikini Airline" Vietjet

[@saigonexile531]

I live in Vietnam and fly VietJet regulary. This is BS! This was a scandal for an advert some years ago BUT the FAs do not dress like this. Actually, their uniforms are boring lol. Don't believe a word of this. It's not reality. Once again, this was an advert campaign some years ago that fizzled out. They DO NOT dress like this.

That’s…kind of the point of the video. I make it clear it’s only for the annual calendar and special occasions. It got people to look at the airline, and he’ll even click on the video…

I live in Vietnam and fly Vietjet on a regular bases not only domestically but internationally as well. There is nothing wrong with the airline and as for delays, yes they do happen and with Vietnam Airlines and Bamboo as well. I have also flown Vietnam Airlines which is a step up from Vietjet but also way more costly. I will fly Bamboo and see how they are but I suspect they might be slightly above Vietnam Airlines. Just an FYI, they require the name on the ticket to match your passport/travel document. When you bought your ticket online they even asked for your full name not just first and last, YOUR error not theirs.

[@carefulconsumer8682]

Agree. The Asian budget airlines in general are very good, efficient and clean and usually on time. Time of year one flies is important since in low season there are fewer crowds.

I like Asian airlines , they have young pretty stewardess not male flight attendants like North American Airlines. I’m an unapologetic straight man and I like to see pretty stewardesses to look at on a long flight, it makes time go by faster, I feel a flight attendant is not appropriate job for a man, but should be young pretty polite women, like Japan airlines. The flight attendants in airlines in North America and Australia are seldom attractive women and sometimes men, and are often in a bad mood and do bare minimum work, and customer service sucks especially Air Canada and WestJet.

[@larrybremer4930]

I would bet the service and cheerfulness of the cabin crew in the western world is because we have so many entitled Karen's and Ken's now that treat them like garbage. The people that don't make demands on the crew, and say things like please and thank you must go a long way because the crew has never been grouchy with me, but I am a near perfect passenger that does not use the call button or make silly requests during the drink and food service like insisting in pretzels instead of the cookie or peanuts they offered.

[@jonm7547]

So much hypocrisy and racism - if you don’t like women, why do you fly these Asian airlines, heavily advertising on decent looking crews? Just fly the US airlines, which offer equal opportunity to very old and overweight crew members , which certainly will help you in case of an emergency (if they can pass through the door and not block it due to weight, size and health disabilities). Regarding delays, you must be joking right? US airlines have plenty of cancellations and delays, same as in Europe and Australia. I am so sick and tired of criticism of Asian airlines, when they are generally no worse than the Western ones, except their crews are way more helpful and more pleasant (adding to their way better looks). And remember, they are paid peanuts compared to our airlines, and work longer hours.

[@Travelog]

I assume this is directed at me? If so, I feel as though you may have misunderstood the whole point of the video and the sarcasm. The point was that we in the US really shouldn't be throwing stones here, and that the flight was absolutely fine and none of the "shenanigans" occurred.

[@sooantonysolotraveler]

VietJet airline airplane. it was fine and good for/with me I took it a few times before and not having to be delay a very long time and might be it did only a short delay before during my Vietnam trips. Once I decided to try VietJet airline airplane from Singapore to Bangkok. I was surprised it was not many passengers and probably not popular yet from Singapore to Bangkok, compared to Scoot and Jetstar always full passengers, so the departure started about 15mins earlier than the actual time of departure since not many passengers the airplane crews decided to start the departure earlier and I was glad I was the only one sitting on 3 seats roll with 2 empty seats that I could change to window at any time I like it.

[@kevbrown1867]

I fly Vietjet often and it’s good for short flights and if you have a flexible schedule ,the price is very reasonable. It is common for delays but if you book the first flight of the day it’s usually ok . I just came back from Jakarta and they were good but I also flew Air Asia Indonesia and their seats were definitely more comfortable and more leg room . SGN is so over crowded and Vietjet doesn’t get the priority that the state owned Vietnam airlines has so flights get backed up during the day especially in rainy season Vietjet is short of planes so they are wet leasing planes from Freebird . I have to say every time I fly Vietjet the girls are a major smoke show they could be the bikini girls . Every time they pull out the bikini girls they get in trouble and have to pay a small fine but it’s worth millions in marketing so it’s worth it in the end . I hope Bamboo Airlines survives it is great as well and good to have competition , strange that it still functions as the owner has been sentenced to 23 years in jail .

So were they in bikinis or not? If not, where did those video clips come from? This was not addressed at all in the video, but I guess the headline gets views. B.s.

[@Travelog]

Hardly. The question of the video is exactly that, do they or not. The answer is right there, with a timestamp. Only for special occasions, events, marketing materials, and the annual calendar.

[@hughjohns9110]

@@Travelog the footage of them in bikinis appeared to be taken by a passenger with a phone. The timestamps mean nothing on their own. Personally I expect a video to give me information not ask me questions. The content bore no resemblance to the title whatsoever, it was just b.s. to get views.

[@Travelog]

The question is posed at the end of the introduction. “Are there really women in bikinis dancing down the aisle of the airplane?” The answer is at the timestamp, direct quoting from the script here: “They have an annual bikini calendar. Often to celebrate inaugural flights or special occasions the bikinis come out. This repeatedly happens, including a rather aqkward incident with the U’23 football team, requiring another apology.” So yes, they occasionally do. All that footage is real. So are all the clips from their official marketing videos. You’re right, there’s a gap where I actually cover what the flight is like to take. Is it clickbait? The unofficial nickname of the airline is “bikini airlines.” I covered what it’s like to actually fly them. In my eyes that’s still delivering, but appreciate your concern. There’s plenty of other videos on Vietjet from other creators with similar thumbnails.

[@rainerpaschen3007]

I have often flown with Vietjet. Punctuality is really not their thing. But with the prices, I'm not upset about it. The flight attendants are friendly. But there is one thing that always makes me cringe. When adults put their small children on their lap and buckle them in with them, i.e. not with an extra seat belt, they are not reprimanded by the flight attendants. Paying attention to this is part of their job. After all, if the adult is thrown forward, at best they will only break a few ribs of the child on their lap. But there can also be fatal injuries! Dear Flight attendants, please change that instantly!

[@donaldhill3823]

Ok interesting video but if you avoid filming the cabin crew you can not give an accurate comparison to the commercials, which we know have always been exaggerated. Also using a 1970s American commercial as a comparison is like comparing the modern world to Middle Ages Europe. In the history of Air Lines they are comparably that far apart. 50 years is not recent for Air travel.
