I tried Vietnam Airlines Economy on two very different aircraft: the widebody Airbus A350-900 and narrowbody Airbus A321-200.Our journey began at Osaka Kansai Airport, flying to Ho Chi Minh City aboard Vietnam Airlines’ flagship A350 before connecting onwards to Singapore on the smaller A321.
In this review, I take you through the complete passenger experience, including check-in at Kansai, boarding, both Economy cabins, seat comfort, legroom, in-flight entertainment, meals, service and the connection experience at Ho Chi Minh City.
The A350 offered a modern long-haul cabin, seatback entertainment and all the comforts you would expect from a widebody aircraft. The A321 provided a much simpler experience for the shorter second leg. But which aircraft offered the better journey, and is Vietnam Airlines Economy worth considering when travelling around Asia?
📍 Leg 1: Osaka-Kansai (KIX) to Ho Chi Minh City (SGN)
✈️ Aircraft: Airbus A350-900 (VN-A886)
💺 Cabin: Economy
⌛ Flight Time: 4 hours, 42 minutes
📍 Leg 2: Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) to Singapore (SIN)
✈️ Aircraft: Airbus A321-200 (VN-A358)
💺 Cabin: Economy
⌛ Flight Time: 1 hour, 37 minutes
💵 Cost: £141.60 (one-way cash ticket)
