GENERAL KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE DOMESTIC AVIATION COMPANIES OF VIETNAM

VIETNAM AIRLINES

Vietnam Airlines is the National Airlines of Vietnam, and it is always a reliable airway and gets good credits from both domestic and international passengers. We are going to learn about how Vietnam Airlines gets such good feedbacks like that:

First of all, we have to talk about its brand and experience. Vietnam Airlines was officially established in 1993 and since then Vietnam Airlines has always been the best airway in Vietnam and remains its popularity among the top of Asia’s best airways. With those 27 years of experience, Vietnam Airlines has always been trying to improve its services to bring absolute satisfaction to passengers.

Secondly, Vietnam Airlines has flights to almost everywhere in Vietnam from mountainous areas, plains to islands, and this is their biggest strength. Moreover, Vietnam Airlines has many international flights to the major cities in the world on all continents.

Finally, their planes’ cabin is wider than other airways’, so it’s very comfortable for passengers, especially for those with Claustrophobia. There is also a light meal for the long-haul with delicious foods. Furthermore, the air ticket already includes 10 kg of carry-on luggage and 23 kg of check-in luggage which is quite good for passengers with many luggage.

However, the ticket price is still something that bothers the passengers to book Vietnam Airlines tickets since it’s so pricey and much higher than other domestic aviation companies.

With those strengths and weaknesses mentioned above, hope that you collect enough information about Vietnam Airlines and consider it for your next travel.
