It’s been a full year now since Vietjet has been operating direct flights into Australia. Here’s a look at the low-cost airline’s premium offering.
Fast facts
Flight: Sydney to Ho Chi Minh City (VJ086)
Aircraft: Airbus A330
Class: Business
Duration: 8H50M
Check in 8/10
Ah the delights of flying business! My tardiness for check-in had me in a flap thanks to the rainy Sydney commute, operator error with the uber app and ok, I admit it, struggling to get out of bed in the morning. But check in was a last-minute breeze. Super helpful staff calmly moved things along and a quiet transition through security ensured I was reclined in the lounge just 30 minutes after arrival at the airport. However, do note, Vietjet didn’t provide Fasttrack services through security and border security… so don’t push it too late.
