Great deals to Vietnam on Vietnam Airlines, haven't seen these in a while. All flights are nonstop and include checked bags, meals, etc.
Flights from Sydney to Ho Chi Minh for $620, and Hanoi for $633, and Melbourne to Ho Chi Minh for $617.
Dates are August to November 2022. Cheaper fares available on Bamboo, but if you want a more established airline these are no bad at all!

VNA has 2-3 settings in the economy cabin. I feel that the space in the last one (at the tail side of the aeroplane) is the same as in Jetstar's.
On long-haul flights, VNA also provides entertainment/movies.
Larger legroom (>10cm I think), more comfortable on long-haul flights. Also come with 2 meals and entertainment as Averell mentioned.
Vietnam Nonstop on Vietnam Airlines from $617 Return
How much are these flights normally?
Around $1000. Although sometimes Jetstar has 300 400 sale, but its hard to compare budget airline vs full cost

That's what it should be compared to then, to determine if this is a bargain.
but its hard to compare budget airline vs full cost
I find the comparison quite straight forward. Just ask yourself what are you getting for the extra $$$ of a 'full service' carrier.
Generally it comes down to the following:
-Bags
-Meals
-Entertainment
-Service
For me service is hit and miss on any airline. I had a Thai crew on my last Jetstar flight that were as good as any Singapore Airline or Emirates crew for example
Entertainment means nothing to me since I bring my own.
Meals cost about $20, not worth paying full service ticket prices for.
And I always travel with carry-on only so bags are not a problem. In the rare case I need luggage I'm happy to pay the extra $30 or whatever.
So for me, LCC work out a way better deal than 'Full service' since all that means is paying more for nothing.
Generally seats are smaller in LCC. If you don't mind cramp for 8 or so hours then I suppose it's ok LOL

Not true: https://www.airlinequality.com/info/seat-pitch-guide/
AirAsiaX for example has more pitch than Qantas at half the price. With Scoot you can upgrade to a 34" seat for usually about $50 so it's cheaper AND more space

LOL…
Cool story, bro. No one asked.
Very good price for Vietnam Airlines - I've always priced VN's flights to Vietnam for over $1000.
I managed to get good tickets for my wife and I with Singapore Airlines in mid-January '23 (in time for Tet) for $880 return to Da Nang from Brisbane, which is an excellent price.
non vax ppl (eyes)
How's vn Airlines compared to jetstar? In terms of seating? I didn't find jetstars newer planes too bad…
