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!
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!
Flying is mesmerizing, cathartic, relaxing and exciting all at once! I get excited like you when I see someone admire the idea of being amongst the clouds. Thank you so much for bringing us this joy through your videos. Always looking forward to seeing your videos every week twice ☺️
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 🙃🙃🙂🤩
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
Great video as usual, but i do wonder, how on earth are you able to afford all these videos, upload so frequently and maintain such good quality? Its insane how consistent these videos are.
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.
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).
My trip to Phu Quoc is next year in January but see flights at crazy prices. Can I assume this will go down once we get closer to the day I go to Vietnam?
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.
Thanks for sharing unfortunately my upcoming Bamboo flight on the same route PQC - SGN was cancelled some weeks ago how no refund has been offered. Some of your fellow passengers are probably first time flyers . That is the reason why they are so excited about this particular flight.
No, not illegal. Some airlines choose to invite pax there if unoccupied, but in the markets I frequently flight to/from (including the US) it's not illegal.
As your Vietnamese subscriber, I have to ask, what's your relationship to Vietnam? You travel to Vietnam very often, and have a good breadth of knowledge about Vietnam. Is your wife Vietnamese?
Nope, not married. I mention it briefly in some old videos, but now I keep it on lock for the sake of my anonymity. I'm sure you know, Vietnam is a very "small world" of gossip lol.
Bamboo Airways became a endangered airline like the bear that eats the tree that the company is named after. And off topic but I am reutrning to my homeland Vietnam next week or so and I am starving for noice food.
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.
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.

It certainly is! I’d be happy just landing and taking off all day long 😅. Thanks as always for watching 🙏🏻
Other information: Bamboo has currently suspended flights to Phu Quoc.

I always prefer to keep my VNese knowledge on the DL... then I can know what they're talking about freely haha.
Great trip report and the sky coming into Saigon was absolutely spectacular 👍🙂
Sure was! Thanks for watching 🩴
Thank you Kevin. Looking forward to your next Video to BKK krub. Really enjoyed your review every single one.
Thanks very much 🙏🏻

this channel deserves 2M + subs & views
In due time, hopefully haha. Thanks for watching 🩴
Thank you for another thoughtful, intelligent, and well researched review, certainly not an easy thing to do.
Appreciate that!
I hope you release Regent PQ and Jw Marriott videos soon
Great video Bamboo💙
Coming soon.
You’re not alone. I get fascinated by people looking outside their plane windows too when I am not myself captivated by views 😊
Thanks for sharing ✈️

They’re having a problem with their entire operation tbh lol
Good review
Thanks very much 🙏🏻
Short and sweet flight for sure 🎉😊
😄
When is the waldorf cancun video is coming?
Likely in February.
Great video as usual, but i do wonder, how on earth are you able to afford all these videos, upload so frequently and maintain such good quality? Its insane how consistent these videos are.
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?
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.
Thank You ✈️

What a great video!! Really sad to see the state of Bamboo Air. Hope the best but really not looking good.
Yeah I am certainly not holding my breath lol.
I don't know why but you always capture the best airplane views😅
Bc that's my job haha
Good review. I'm wondering if you've set a record for scoring the most amount of baggage-allowance for the least number of dollars?
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).
My trip to Phu Quoc is next year in January but see flights at crazy prices. Can I assume this will go down once we get closer to the day I go to Vietnam?
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.
@@tfft thank you! Just realized I booked right during tet. It’s our first visit, would you recommend avoiding this week?
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.
@@tfft thank you!
What happened to Leela palace new Delhi
Video will come out at a later date.

No one occupying the exit row across from you? Isn’t that illegal?
No, not illegal. Some airlines choose to invite pax there if unoccupied, but in the markets I frequently flight to/from (including the US) it's not illegal.
Great!🎉
Thanks for watching 🩴
that's my airport when I go to ho co min makes me remember smth
Is this an Embraer?
Sure is
@@tfft I thought Scoot of Singapore has the 1st Embraer jet. Hmmmm. It seems not.

Regent , that’s the one I am waiting for. My bet is that you’ll find the Japanese restaurant is too expensive vs what they offer…
How much are we betting? Lol
@@tfft Lunch invite in Saigon 👍🏼
I for one appreciate very much that you call it saigon not ho chi minh, brother
Thanks for watching 🩴
这架飞机的内部很像是中国南方航空的飞机,越竹航空的座椅颜色应该不是这样。难道是中国南方航空卖给越竹航空的飞机吗?
The vast majority of Bamboos narrow body aircraft were acquired from other airlines when they first began operation.
