"Good leg room"

(Taiwan)

Trip Verified | 32C - rear emergency exit row. Good leg room. Seat squab very thin and short and note there is no window for this row, so 32A no window. However, can rest head against bulkhead. Overhead manually adjustable air vents are good. There is a tiny baggage locker for this row. At the back of the plane where the tour groups are so very noisy. There is no seat in front of 32A so legroom is sufficient to place your luggage in front as a footrest (after ake-off obviously). I would not choose this seat again because the back of the plane is a zoo. Legroom is OK on these planes in general (I am 6' and sat in a non-exit-row seat on the outbound flight) and I would rather be towards the front if I had to suffer an intra-Asia flight on VN again. The worst thing about the seat is that it is on a VN plane, but if you can't fly another airline and you need legroom, it is OK. There is no seat storage for row 32A-C.

"seat quite narrow for me"

(Japan)

Verified Review | This flight was operated by an old model of A321 in the Vietnam Airlines fleet. The seat and aisle space were quite narrow for me. Moreover, the TV screen view had problem when the airplane was taxiing. During the flight, the entertainment contents was not much and from 2015 which was quite boring for me.

"legroom and width were narrow"

(Japan)

Verified Review | Tokyo Narita to Ho Chi Minh City by an A321 jet. The seat legroom and width were narrow for me which is not suitable for sleeping. There are no individual TV screen but only TV screens on the roof of the airplane. Unfortunately, they were closed after the airplane took off.

"seat legroom comfortable "

(Japan)

Verified Review | This was one of the modern airplanes which contains many advance technologies. The seat legroom and width were comfortable for me. Moreover, there were power supply in economy seat. The TV screen and entertainment program gave me a good experience. The color changeable windows help reducing the sun ray which is the best thing of this airplane in my opinion. I highly recommend this flight for everyone.

"forces you to sit up straight "

(United States)

Verified Review | I'm 5'11", 190 lbs and most likely would have to buy 2 seats if this A321 plane were packed or if I get any wider. Reminded me of my singular JetBlue flight from HOU-JFK where they most definitely use an older A320. Seat will correct your back problems as it forces you to sit up straight (which is not a terrible thing).

"this seat was very comfortable"

(Vietnam)

The deluxe economy seats are arranged in the 2-3-2 configuration (in economy class the seat configuration is 3-3-3). The deluxe seat is 18-inch wide and its pitch is 52 inches with 7-inch reclining. Each seat comes with foot rest and leg rest as well as personal touch screen monitor. Power and USB charging are attached also. My feeling when seating in this seat was very comfortable. It’s almost the same with a regional business class seat on Vietnam Airlines A321.

"seat is overall very good"

(Norway)

The seat is overall very good and surprisingly modern, providing all passengers with a USB port and an AC-port (120V, two per three seats). All passengers are provided with an HD-touchscreen, packed with movies and games which whould entertain you troughout the flight. The industry leading 32inch seat pitch is great for long haul flight, and made it easy to sleep. Intersetingly, no foot rest, but all seats are provided with a comfly blanket and pillow, headseats are provided after takeoff. The food was delicious with a western or eastern option. All passengers are provided with a bottle of water, and noodle on demand troughout the flight.

"soft and spongy"

(Vietnam)

The Boeing 787 seats are soft and spongy which means they are comfortable and you don't get that punishing numbness of the buttocks on the long haul. The seats recline etc same as everything else. The headphone socket is in the tip of the armrest. The entertainment control is sunken into the inside of your armrest, but you can pull it out on an extendable cable and let it hang loosely between your legs, ready for when you want to rewind the good bits in a film etc. Vietnam Airlines provided a pack including an eye mask and ear plugs and a pair of slippers on my flight. They come around with wet clothes in a sealed bag to wipe your face and hands
