"Absolutely horrendous experience"
S Sultan (United States)
Not Verified | Absolutely horrendous experience. Of the dozens of airlines I have flown VietJet ranks at the absolute bottom of the list, making Ryanair and JetBlue look like luxury airlines by comparison. Quite frankly, there was likely better service on the last chopper out of Saigon than exists on VietJet’s flights.

"quite pleased with the experience"
S Harvel (Czech Republic)
✅ Trip Verified | Simple and efficient service. All as scheduled. Easy to check-in, well maintained cabin, legroom just enough, my luggage was on the conveyor belt in a minute. After reading the reviews here I was quite worried. However, as I flew other no-frills airlines in Europe and Asia I was quite pleased with the experience.

"Aircon did not work"
T Mazen (Australia)
✅ Trip Verified | Flying from Ho Chi Min to Da Nang. Ground transport bus narrowly missed crashing into fuel tanker. Aircon on aircraft was not working when be boarded in 35c. Aircon did not work entire flight duration. Kids screaming and passengers fanning themselves with air safety cards to keep cool. No safety instructions from crew.

"a terrible airline"
C Hayes (Hong Kong)
✅ Trip Verified | The worst flying experience I have had, and I have flown hundreds of times. The airport check in staff were rude, uncooperative, and misleading. No greeting when I approached the desk. No eye contact. But there was a lot of hostility and laissez-faire nonsense. I am British but live in Hong Kong. The staff member didn't understand that residency in Hong Kong means a Hong Kong Identity Card is proof enough to travel. Then, my carry on case was weighed and was .9 over weight, and I was told a fee was payable. After I had paid this, I was told that the case was too heavy to carry on to the plane. It would, as such, have to travel in the hold. Absurd. This added forty minutes to my wait time at Hong Kong Airport. As for the flight: it left late, arrived late, the staff were incompetent, the refreshments were poor, and then landing was woeful. Overall, a terrible airline and an awful flying experience. I will not fly with them again. Vietnam Airlines is far superior.

"pay a bit more for a better experience"
M Wilkinson (Australia)
Not Verified | You really get what you pay for! I would rather walk than take this airline again. Unhelpful customer service and cramped small seats. Do yourself a favour and pay a bit more for a better experience.

"Very poor service"
L Paldeep (Australia)
✅ Trip Verified | Very poor service. I have used budget airlines many times and I did not expect this poor quality, including the service at Ho Chi Minh City. No water available near the gate, poor communication skills from onboard airline staff, unable to book food online even more than a week before the flight (I took ticket earlier and thought I can book food closer to date). Unable to buy food as there was only one meal available with no options and the flight attendants were hesitant to take Australian dollar and preferred for Vietnamese currency enroute to Melbourne. We even tried to book food while checking in and we were advised to buy food onboard. My 6 year old daughter was hungry and thirsty and we did not have any options available. Since this is a Melbourne bound flight, no water is allowed from the gate, causing an absolute chaos. I will refrain using VietJet again

"does not care what’s written on ticket"
Harinderjit Singh Hans (India)
✅ Trip Verified | I booked my flight with VietJet Air. It was confirmed on my ticket I can take 7 kg hand carry and 1 personal bag to put under seat. The staff argued with me to not carry personal bag around 2 kg. Allowed to take only 7 kg hand carry. I showed them on my ticket. He said it’s depend on me I wanna leave my personal bag with them or I need to pay $75 AU to carry it. He was very rude. He was saying rudely he does not care what’s written on ticket. I have to pay for that personal bag to carry. I paid $75. I don’t understand why it’s written on ticket? Why they allow in first place to carry? They was asking people to pay money whoever have personal bag or leave with them. It’s disgusting. They are asking money on the stay for those things which are already confirmed on ticket. I will never recommend to my any friend or family member to go with this airline.

"The worst airline in the world"
N Huang (Vietnam)
✅ Trip Verified | The worst airline in the world. As a Vietnamese, I am embarrassed and sorry that Vietnam has an airline like this. The ticket might be cheap but they come up with all kinds of dirty tricks to charge us more. What's more, the staff is extremely impolite, disrespectful, rude and unprofessional. The way they talk to the customers is like they are our boss and yelling at us. I am disgusted by their service, attitude and dirty tricks. Truly disgusted.
