    No matter how many times you fly, each time is special and magical…The perspective, the light, the colours, the sensation of take-off and landing, the anticipation of going places. You’ve made me want to fly this aircraft now, but will not see that happening in the near future. Thank you for the review and beautiful sunset views!

      It certainly is! I’d be happy just landing and taking off all day long 😅. Thanks as always for watching 🙏🏻

      Well this video is certainly aging well 😂. Crazy they can’t maintain a single flight to the country’s largest leisure destination though. Not a good outlook.

    Always happy to hear a mostly favorable honest unbiased opinion about things Vietnam because the country has become my way of life being here the past 30 years. I did a Bamboo round trip Saigon Hanoi about a month ago. The uniforms are like as you described the flight crew but at least on my flight the attendants were very friendly. But sometimes hard to tell for average people since being a westerner who speaks pretty good Vietnamese I always get at least a double helping of smiles! Thank you again for the video!

    Hi Kevin. Another super reiview. Bamboo seats must be good. The only time I've flown on an Embraer has been on ineter European flights in boyj business and econnmy and although there were alright I wouldn't ravr about them. There again I wouldn't rave about any European flight. Cramped and cheap but a hight price is my experiance. One excetion to that was a fkight frm Manchester to Glasgow many years ago on a SAAB. 1 + 2 seating in real comfortable leather seats. keep them coming my friend 🙃🙃🙂🤩

    • @tfft
      @tfft  Год назад +1

      I'm one of the few that doesn't mind Euro Business. Depending on the airline there are times I'd rather have the standard seat with middle seat blocked compared a crappy 2-2 seat. Not saying it's better, but just that I don't mind it. Thanks for watching 🩴

    I'm flying SGN-DAD on their E190 today. My first time on an Embraer and I'm so excited. For me, I slightly prefer QH's crew to VNA. However, their price is always more expensive than VNA, so I usually choose VNA. But the price I booked for my today's flight was surprisingly lower than VNA, although it's Tet holiday period. I don't advice foreigners travelling to Vietnam to fly with them right now, they're having a problem with their app and website, and it's not easy to contact with them

    • @tfft
      @tfft  Год назад +1

      The answer to the first part is: RUclips is a business- and there are costs associated with it.
      Second part answer is: I don’t do “days off” 😅

    I read it in the internet some flights were cancelled to Phu Quoc due to low demand? Also Bamboo Airways is kinda in trouble?

    • @tfft
      @tfft  Год назад +2

      PQ is suffering from lack of inbound international traffic due to some factors I won’t discuss on the channel. Once things are made easier for tourists, things will start to improve, but dragging feet have already done their damage.

    Last time I flew with Bamboo was in September. Compared to my first time with them (July 2022), they seemed to cut down on things significantly (e.g. no more wet wipes and the "bamboo" branded water bottle is no longer there). Overall the situation is kinda fu**ed but I hope they can recover soon.

    • @tfft
      @tfft  Год назад +1

      That was actually what led me to Bamboo to begin with. VN is max 23kg on this route and I didn’t want back to back Vietjet flights lol (which would have also allowed 40kg).

    • @tfft
      @tfft  10 месяцев назад

      4-6 months in advance is generally best for domestic flights unless you are booking within 2 weeks of Tết, in which case book as early as possible.

      If you’re looking for a ‘normal’ vacation and not one that is defined by Tết you should avoid all travel in the country in the 7 days preceding and following it.

    Unfortunately, Phu Quoc is suffering from the lack of domestic customer. Many foods and hotels are overpriced, so Vietnamese people don't travel to Phu Quoc as much as they did.

    • @tfft

      PQ was never fully reliant on domestic traffic prior to covid. Certain country wide decisions I won’t discuss have prevented the return of international tourists which is what’s truly hurting the island.
