    Fyi for people whilst much more expensive Vietnam Airlines have nice direct flights too. In post covid world at just over $1k each they still seemed ok vs the same cost to get to Bali though…
    We ended up booking them for more comfortable flights and all inclusions albeit even adding inclusions the prices on Vietjet looked very sharp!

    • markga on 06/03/2023 - 10:26

      We are getting a little spoilt for choice now even if you want direct flights from Melbourne to Saigon, Jetstar on some days of the week is direct, Vietnam Airlines, Bamboo and now Vietjet.

      We booked for August to September this year for 3 people at $1600 with Bamboo.

      Back in the day the only choice for direct was Vietnam airlines and Qantas but Qantas was actually code sharing with Vietnam airlines so you have a Qantas ticket but end up on the Vietnam airlines plane, so I guess this doesnt count.

        • dsar on 06/03/2023 - 15:42

          Isn't there a ton of issues at the moment since they started outsourcing? A recent maydays, Jetstar flight being stuck on tarmac for 7 hours due to issues.

            @dsar: I don’t care about Jetstar. You get what you pay for. Recent maydays is normal. When you have 100s of flights everyday 365 days a year, some parts might break. The main thing is for everyone to be safe.

              In addition, if you get what you paid for, how does paying for the premium for an airfare who's then reduces the quality of service by outsourcing baggage handlers?

                @dsar: Jetstar is budget airline. They are prone to delay. That’s normal. I’m not talking about security. All Australian airline have to follow same security protocol. Jetstar has same safety as Qantas. I don’t fly budget airline that’s why I don’t care.

        QANTAS seems fine for me.

        JetStar on the other hand has been bad. The most recent incident was: all passengers boarded, the plane refused to fly and refused to let the passenger off the plane. Passengers were made to wait 8 hours inside the parked plane before they are told the flight is delay, and that there is no other flight for that day. They must return the next day.

    • KanTakahashi on 07/03/2023 - 03:18

      Domestic: hell to the nah
      International: it's alright
      Domestic usually delayed by at least 30 mins due to their super tight flight schedule, slow boarding and airport overcrowd. International is not that bad tbh. However their seats is so packed (28 in-a321, a330 probably 29 in)

  • discountguy on 06/03/2023 - 08:48

    VJ have the narrowest economy seats flying to Vietnam, followed by Jetstar and with Vietnam Airlines being the best. VJ A330 seat configuration is 3/3/3 in economy (QF fly A330's in a 2/4/2 config) You'll get what you pay for. If it's just to get you there at the cheapest price then VJ may be the go. Note VJ's "new" A330 aircraft are apparently the old Air Asia X aircraft.

      Hotels are cheap/easiest, especially as need to leave every 30 days.

      Also worth trying out a few areas before settling to see what suits, different vibes between south/central/north.

      • BluebirdV on 07/03/2023 - 08:04

        How much for a hotel? Better to book online?

        • mcnugget on 07/03/2023 - 10:51

          From experience Agoda is usually best for Asia.

          Decent hotel with breakfast and amenities runs $20-40/night in the main cities.
          Can definitely go cheaper further from center, negotiate weekly/monthly rates direct or go more basic depending on needs and budget.

          Laundry service is cheap enough not to stress about a washing machine, but keep an eye out that every hotel may not have a fridge. Sim cards and data are cheap if the WIFI isn't great.

    • packeteer on 07/03/2023 - 11:32

      done it many times, including right now. it's mostly great. Internet is everywhere, but speed and reliability can be an issue. our most recent place in Saigon was $350 AUD a week through AirBNB for a large, modern 1 bedroom in central area.

      note that costs have risen here, so it's no longer cheap, but you do get more for your $ than Aus, especially if you live a more Viet life style.

      the biggest issue is a lack of visa options. it's a cheap evisa (30 days) or expensive business visa (length and cost varies).

      my favourite cities would be Buon Ma Thuot (gf's home town)), Da Nang or Da Lat. The big cities are HCMC or Hanoi, but air quality sucks

          both north and south.
          The north would be nice and sunny. Not too hot.
          The south is of course humid and hot. Watch out for the rain btw because they can be pretty heavy and long lasting. Even though I'm Vietnamese but been in Melbourne for a long while therefore I'm accustomed to heavy rain = not long lasting rain. I was so wrong lol.

              HCM city has more funs. Hanoi is charming.
              People in the south are more outgoing compared to people in the north.
              For a family I would say go to Hanoi but if you still have some time left, give Saigon a try. You might love it.

            @trantonz: Wouldn't call rain in Saigon long lasting, it's heavy downpour but a few hours max, after that it dries very quickly, unless you're unlucky to be stuck in a typhoon. There're other parts of the country that rain a lot more, there'll be month between June-Aug that it literally rain non stop for 2-3 weeks straight between drizzle and heavy downpour. Rain in Melbourne is nothing to compare against the rest of the world, let alone in those place where annual precipitation is 3000mm+

    VJ??? No thanks! I'd rather pay a little bit more flying with Bamboo instead during off peak season. The seats are more comfy & it's much more reliable than this Delay Airline. On top of that, VJ's customer service is terrible.

    I'm not sure about how they operate here in Aus. If they do it the same way as in Vietnam then just be prepare to pay extra for their sh*tty scale at the boarding gate even though during checking you have no problem with the weight of your carry-on luggages but then they will be over weight at the boarding gate. If you wanna make complaints, good luck with that.

          $200 return for a 2 hr flight is cheap. I'm sure there are sales that pop up to make them cheaper, similar to how we have sales internally between states if you can book at the right time. But its already super cheap and you would have to be lining up sale periods and getting lucky to get internal flight sales within vietnam

      Exact equal to AirAsia X. VJ A330s were formerly AirAsia's, retaining the same cabin.
