nice vid. Great camera work. chill. Vietnam is awesome! Love that country and its people and food and culture and sights. Enjoy enjoy and go back someday for another dip.
We definitely will!!! It's definitely a shock at first, but once you get things figured out it isn't too bad at all. We can't wait to explore more of this place!
That was a LOOOONG day of travelling!!! Looking forward to your Vietnam adventures! (Had a fab time in Barcelona... next weekend Copenhagen! I am sure Vietnam will be a lot warmer LOL!!)
We can't wait to show these places!!! Vietnam's definitely warmer but man, the coffee in Denmark is INCREDIBLE!!! We've not been to Copenhagen yet but we hear the coffee shops are so nice. Enjoy your time there & let us know how it is!!!😊
Great video, saw you with Brian & Carrie decided to check you out. Loved the content, travel days can be stressful for sure. We head to Hanoi via Vientiane on Saturday
Hi Stephen!!! Thank you so much for checking out our channel!! Hanoi’s a WILD place, but once you get the hang of it you’ll love it. Make sure to grab some egg coffee and check out Train Street while you’re there!! Have a great time and thank you so much for taking the time to watch our video!!☺️
Well, I'll just say this, I didn't lose anything in Viet Nam, I was also in Ho Chi Minh city (called Saigon when I was there), I think I'll just stay here in Austria, love it here! 😉 Thanks again guys, for a nice video as always.
Austria's a great place to stay honestly!!! We miss it all the time & can't wait to get back there at some point. And when we do we're definitely stopping to catch up with you!!! Your comments always brighten our days & we appreciate you so much Eddy!!!
Great video guys! We give you SO MUCH credit for doing travel day videos - they aren't easy! We always have great intentions and then start the day and say "do you really want to do a video today?" 😂 Nice work!!
We honestly love them because we can just film as we go without having to structure things. The story almost writes itself 99% of the time🤣 Hope you guys are enjoying all that Pad Thai in Chiang Mai & see y'all next week!!!!🍻
That's was a smooth travel, try AirAsia from Tokyo to Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh next time lol I travel a lot from Tokyo to Da Nang, the best way is a direct flight using Vietnam Airlines. Also use Grab as Taxi.
Oh I have no doubt!! I think the biggest thing we learned was that if you fly in, then try to give yourself PLENTY of time between connections. It’s always better to wait than miss your flight😅 thank you so much for watching Thao!!☺️
What an amazing travel day. Very interesting to note, that they have cities just like the United States! They are big and modern! The world truly is a small place when you think about it we are so much in common. 🥂
I couldn't agree more!!! That's the biggest thing we want to get across in our videos. Places are so different from each other culturally, but people everywhere are more or less the same. As far as cities, Ho Chi Minh City has the skyscrapers/modern look that would feel somewhat familiar to a western city, but it's still very different. Hanoi feels much older/traditional so if you're looking for a city with an abundance of culture then that's the place for you! Either way you can't go wrong!
We don't normally mind it, but we were STRESSSSSSED about making that connecting flight🤣 We absolutely will never make that mistake again though. Maybe we'll do a short connection through the US since we have Global Entry, but NEVER anywhere else LOL. Thank you so much for watching Eric!!! We can't wait for you to see our next video!!!
Just found your channel. You guys have really fun personalities, and I look forward to watching more of your blogs. BTW, do you use standard Away carry on luggage? Have you found it easy for international airplanes. I think total dimensions for international carriers is 45 inches. I’m looking to downsize to carry on only for next trip.
We're so pumped you found our channel!!!! As far as our luggage, we use the Away Bigger Carry-on. From a strict size perspective, it's definitely over the size limit for carry-ons on just about every airline we've flown since we started full-time travel last year, but honestly we've only ever had one time where it was an issue (we flew Ryanair once from BGY & they checked the size so we had to pay extra). Granted, we've flown around 40 times with these & only ever had trouble once so it's worked out for us so far LOL. Most airlines honestly don't care that much (or at least the gate attendants don't). We have loved these bags & were so worth the investment!! Let us know if you have any other questions & thank you so much for watching our video!!!😊
We DEFINITELY slept for awhile after arriving LOL. It's definitely worth the trip though. Vietnam's incredible!!! Thank you so much for watching Anna!!!!
May I ask why you chose Hanoi over Ho Chi Minh city to visit firstly in Vietnam, though you reached to HCM as an intermedia stop. And Vietnam Airlines has direct flights from Tokyo to Hanoi, then why did book a transit flight as it took you more time to travel?
Hi!! Great question! So when we booked, we booked with Delta airlines miles. Delta is apart of the same airline alliance as Vietnam Airlines so they're able to sell tickets through their program. We were looking for the cheapest flights we could find to SE Asia from Tokyo, & the cheapest one was the flight to Hanoi via HCM. It would've made more sense to fly directly (and would have ABSOLUTELY been our preference), but that flight was 10,000 miles more expensive than the one we went with (which was 20,000 miles each). I wish I could give you an explanation as to why they're priced & offered that way, but I don't really know & honestly it doesn't really make a lot of sense to us. We just booked the cheapest flight to SE Asia that we possibly could. I hope this provides a bit more clarity, & thank you so much for taking the time to watch our video!!
Hanoi; a long taxi ride in from the airport. Unless you can score the airport bus. Good to have a picture of your hotel as the taxi driver MAY accidentally take you to the wrong hotel as a way of inflating the fare. Hanoi is but freezing in winter. Jack, the Japan Alps Brit
I’m not 100% sure but I would assume so since one terminal is for international flights and the other is domestic. You shouldn’t have too much issue with the change as long as there’s a bit of time between the two flights. Best of luck!
I believe it's 50 lbs for checked baggage on an international flight, but not 100% sure. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our video David!!!!:)
As an employee of Vietnam Airlines, thank you for choosing our service, even tho I imagine there werent many option to choose flying from Tokyo to HCM city. 🤣
We were so glad we chose to fly with you guys!! I know we said it in the video, but we’d seen bad reviews so maybe that set our expectations low initially. But to be completely honest with you, we LOVED our experience with Vietnam Airlines! It’s literally our favorite airline now😂 we definitely don’t LOVE the HCM City airport but that’s okay! The key is to just book directly to the final destination if it’s HCM City or Hanoi since you guys have direct service to both. Either way your airline is fabulous & we loved it!!! Thanks so much for taking the time to watch our video!!☺️
We definitely plan on getting to the Philippines in the next few months!! I hear there's so much to explore there. And we also love great beaches so it's VERY high on our list🤣 Thank you so much for watching!!
Why you didn't fly directly from Tokyo to Hanoi , instead of doing a stopover in HCMC then Hanoi . It was a waste of time and more tiring for you . BTW Vietnam Airlines is not too bad at all . The company you should avoid in VN is Vietjet Air .
The reason we booked this was because it was much cheaper than the direct flight. It wasn't the easiest travel day, but we will say Vietnam Airlines is EXTREMELY good. We really loved that airline & can't wait to fly with them again!! Thank you so much for watching!!
Ground operations are HORRIDNESS ! I’m looking at a flight from Sydney to Paris business class with VA, so much cheaper than other airlines, but I don’t think I can do the ground operations to tell you the truth 😱 It will save me around $3,000 Australian dollars through 🤔
The moment I heard you got 2,5 hour transit at SGN I clenched my assholes XD But hey, it could have been worse, you could have transited the other way around (HAN to SGN ) which I would say is even worse (highly depends on the mood of the terminal transit bus driver)
That's hilarious!!🤣 It was certainly a learning moment. We've learned that anytime we fly somewhere down here, we need to do EVERYTHING we can to avoid a short layover lol. Won't be making that same mistake again!!!😅 Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our video!!!!
Travel can be difficult, especially international flights with connections. Way too much complaining, constant complaining in this video! If you continue to travel, roll with the punches and accept that challenges will be many and often. Best of luck!
We definitely didn't mean to sound like we were complaining at all! It certainly wasn't the EASIEST travel day ever but it was honestly a great experience flying with Vietnam Airlines. I think the biggest issue we had was just not setting ourselves up for success by booking the tight turnaround on the layover, which is why we titled this video the way we did. We want to make sure other people don't make the same boneheaded mistake we did🤣 We try to never complain in our videos and roll with the punches as they come, so it's disappointing that we came off that way to you. Hopefully you're able to give a couple of our other videos a chance to change your mind. In any case, we really do appreciate you taking the time to watch our video & thank you very much for you well wishes!!
nice vid. Great camera work. chill. Vietnam is awesome! Love that country and its people and food and culture and sights. Enjoy enjoy and go back someday for another dip.
Thank you so much!! We love it!!
Looks Chaotic - glad you made it through and enjoy your time!!
We definitely will!!! It's definitely a shock at first, but once you get things figured out it isn't too bad at all. We can't wait to explore more of this place!
That was a LOOOONG day of travelling!!! Looking forward to your Vietnam adventures!

Ahhhh thank you so much for the kind words!!! It means the world to us!❤️❤️
Baffling why you didn’t just fly from Tokyo to Hanoi…
I agree, tsn airport had barely any foot transport to t1 😢
That's was a smooth travel, try AirAsia from Tokyo to Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh next time lol
I travel a lot from Tokyo to Da Nang, the best way is a direct flight using Vietnam Airlines. Also use Grab as Taxi.
Nice video and I’m from Vietnam and sometimes these are the problems we have

Which cities are like ones in the US? Planning a trip would like to know

@@MarlinAmada in terms of infrastructure I would say Da Nang, however thats a resort city, so there is nothing else to do besides beaches
I can't wait to see Vietnam! I don't if I could handle the long lines. Lol waiting is one of my least favorite things!
We don't normally mind it, but we were STRESSSSSSED about making that connecting flight🤣 We absolutely will never make that mistake again though.

Do you need a transit visa to transfer from terminal 2 to 1?
I’m not 100% sure but I would assume so since one terminal is for international flights and the other is domestic. You shouldn’t have too much issue with the change as long as there’s a bit of time between the two flights. Best of luck!
Why did they do ANA from sky cooks on Vietnam airlines it was supposed to be ANA
Super early or super late flights you usually miss the huge immigration lines.
I hope so.. I have a flight that lands at 6am on a Friday here. Is that early enough?
How many pounds can you have for carry on not counting your backpack?
I believe it's 50 lbs for checked baggage on an international flight, but not 100% sure. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our video David!!!!:)
In Vietnam, if you get honk 50 times or more in the streets, just remember it's a daily life there
Vietnam Airlines is the best.
You cannot record in the airport

@Probably Lost try Philippines and do some collabs. Lots of friendly Americans, Canadians, and Europeans RUclipsrs base there.
We definitely plan on getting to the Philippines in the next few months!! I hear there's so much to explore there. And we also love great beaches so it's VERY high on our list🤣 Thank you so much for watching!!
Great travel video 😊😊
Rice square ?
At 4.05 what was hilarious?
