TRIP REPORT / VIETNAM AIRLINES [PREMIUM ECONOMY] 787 London Heathrow - Ho Chi Minh

Today, I flew the 787 of Vietnam Airlines from London Heathrow to Ho Chi Minh in premium economy. The crew was really nice and the service was great. However, the IFE wasn't working properly, to the point where I had to change seats 3 times.
I hope you enjoy this video!

I flew this exact route with Vietnam Airlines, in the same seat, in November 2022. Very comfortable seat, tons of room & recline, good food and excellent service from the crew. IFE was dodgy, but I rarely bother with it anyway. Overall a superb experience.

Vietnam Airlines is one of the most underrated Asian airlines with friendly cabin crew, exceptional services and inflight meal with amazing experience. Hopefully, Vietnam Airlines should increase their flight frequency to LHR from both HAN and SGN as well as changing its business class seat product on A350 and premium economy seat product on B787.

100% agree !

[@michaelandmariedownes6070]

Interesting to note some airlines have 2-4-2 pe on a350 and 2-3-2 on 787's.

Flight attendant: Hello! What’s your seat number? Vs 4/5 star service: Good Afternoon! Welcome aboard! Would you mind if I had your seat number, please?

Great video and many thanks! Any requirements around wearing face masks? Its still "mandatory" on Vietnam Airlines website but doesn't (thankfully!) look like its being enforced on the flight?

[@inflighttravel5304]

Thank you for your comment! On this flight no masks were required !

[@benfarent9379]

great report ! are you ever gonna fly vietnam airlines in business class ?

[@inflighttravel5304]

i would actually love to and if i do i will definitely film it !

[@CriticalThinker1967]

Paint issue on the wings of the 787 is a common issue. The A350 paint flake only became more publicised because of the Qatar airways lawsuit

[@michaelandmariedownes6070]

I didnt know the 787 had the same issue. I suppose it would be towards the bottom of the Boeing "things to do" list atm whatcwith all the other major issues they have - yikes!

@John Lansdown #FairFerries no, it wasn't available n this aircraft... But I'm pretty sure that it is available on their A321NEOS

[@ashleetran4653]

Can you access to the plaza with premium ticket holder? Or are chu a member?

[@inflighttravel5304]

thank you for your comment! you can actually access the plaza lounge with a high SkyTeam status. The ticket itself does not come with lounge access.

Any reason why this flight is not happening during this year? Only till end of march?

[@inflighttravel5304]

[@Padderrss]

[@katrinatacchi8308]

Is this the deamliner or the airbus

[@inflighttravel5304]

The 787 dreamliner

[@user-sf8wi9bv7n]

I think I am flying on this flight soon, what did you think of the flight ✈️?

[@inflighttravel5304]

Overall it was a very good flight. I travelled Premium Eco but all classes were looking good. Nice and kind crew, descent food, flight on-time.

[@shaunpierce4174]

What is the mask situation now? I know this was filmed almost a year ago, I am hoping the mask mandate has been dropped before I go to Vietnam in a few weeks.

[@inflighttravel5304]

Thank you for your comment ! dont worry about all these safety procedures ! the mask is no longer mandatory !

[@cggf6147]

Seems it’s a total rip off. Not good standards.

[@hawkeye1044]

Same thing with other airlines

[@Travelfirstcom]

Not sexy... I have enjoyed their Business Class a lot,.and reviewed it on KZbin. But VN Premium Economy is so plain Jane...
