"Overall a good experience"

(Germany)

Trip Verified | Denpasar to Ho Chi Minh City. After seeing how their website looks like and the many bad reviews I was really worried about the flight. The check-in staff was friendly and did not weigh the hand luggage. The boarding, departure, and arrival were on time. The plane was what you expect for a low-cost carrier. Not even free water is offered. Overall a good experience.

"Will fly again"

(Vietnam)

Not Verified | Huế to Ho Chi Minh City on 29/6 2019 on their morning flight, a newer, well maintained, clean A320 leased from a company called Flyone.com (according to the aircrafts livery). I had a tight international connection 2 hours later from another Terminal in SGN and had been anxious for months where I could make it as VJ have many delays. However, I studied a lot on their delay statistics for this route: delays are recently rare and mostly not serious. Thus I took the chance instead of going to SGN a day earlier. The trip was on tine and VJ were very generous with my bulky luggage and hand luggage. Arrived before ETA time, but suitcases took 230 Minutes to arrive. Onboard fresh international staff, good care, and nice supply of drinks foods, etc, for modest prices. A mango juice was 20,000 VND. At arrival only disembarking from 1 door. Bus-gating from aircraft is annoying and lack of IFE deducts 2/10. Fear of delay deducts 2/10. Price good; adds 1/10. Total score 7/10. This flight isolated seed could be given 8, but my experience with this airline depraves them an extra point to 7, only. Will fly again. Trust their punctuality on morning flights.

"I'd rather avoid them"

(Thailand)

Trip Verified | DaNang to Bangkok. Vietjet Air was half the price of the full-service competition. Both flights were operated by Thai Vietjet, the only difference being the plane staffed by Thai crew. At check in, the line moved quickly. When I asked for an exit row seat, the agent said that she couldn't assign one because I was underage, which apparently was a lie since the website says "age 15-65" (I'm 17). So I was stuck with a regular seat. Boarding was in a word, simple. Their first announcement was literally "We invite all passengers to board now." I think this is the best boarding method. Both flights had bus gates. I did receive a nice greeting at the door, but the crew seemed to think that de-boarding was the best time to decide what to eat after their return flight. Buy-on-board on this flight had reasonable choice, and the prices were slightly higher than AirAsia. All their non-alcoholic drinks are priced at $1.5 and all meals are priced at $5 so these prices are acceptable. The seat is better than AirAsia, it is the same Recaro slimline found on many other airlines, and legroom is not good, but not the worst. On the return flight, we asked for the exit row and was given it at no additional cost. This also meant that there was misinformation between the ground staff in Bangkok and the head office. On this flight, it was almost identical, with the only difference being an actual goodbye at the gate. In conclusion, Vietjet air is essentially another option when flying within Asia, and there are ups and downs of all low cost airlines. I'd rather avoid them if you are willing to pay for a full-service carrier.

"told flight cancelled"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | Ho Chi Minh to Chu Lai. Arrive at airport 8am for 10am flight only to be told flight cancelled. And my flight now scheduled for 4pm. This not the first time VietJet Air have done this with the standard excuse that they sent me a SMS 3 days ago to inform me. A search of my texts revealed no such notification. Stuck in HCM airport for 7 hours

"for the price they’re great"

(United States)

Trip Verified | Ho Chi Minh City to Chiang Mai. I read so many complaints about Vietjet. We flew with them 3 times and for the price they’re great! Modern aircraft, comfortable seats, friendly and caring attendants. Essentially, they’re the Southwest Airlines of Vietnam. Just read the clearly listed baggage fees and rules and they’ll charge you no more than is written. Pay in advance and you save money because you’ll take up less of their time.

"worst airline for delays"

(Ireland)

Trip Verified | Phuket to Ho Chi Minh City. The worst airline for delays. I have flown with them multiple times over the past few years and every single time there is a 1-4 hour delay in the airport. They also tend to book out a flight, email you several days before the flight to tell you that they have moved the time forward or back by about 6 hours, disrupting your plans. This is presumably so that they can open up another flight and make more money. They don't care about customers plans and don't respond on social media when you ask for assistance. They are often cheaper than other airlines but you end up spending the difference waiting around the airport. Avoid Vietjet Air if you want to make it to your destination within a particular time-frame.

"Last time I will fly this airline"

(Vietnam)

Trip Verified | Phuket to Ho Chi Minh City. Choosing to fly with Vietjet is a mistake I have made a few times now but won’t be making again. At the start of our holiday our flight going out was delayed, we were told via email a week before the flight. This is something Vietjet love to do. You pay for a flight at a certain time then somewhere down the line before the departure day, the change the flight time. Probably so they can free up seats to sell at the more convenient earlier time. And no on our return here we are in the airport delayed by 3.5 hours. And this is only an estimate so far! No other flight in the airport has any hint of a delay - nope just awful Vietjet! Last time I will be flying with this airline.

"relaxed low budget flight"

(Germany)

Trip Verified | Phu Quoc to Ho Chi Minh City. It was the most relaxed low budget flight I had. Service at the check in; very kind, very polite & 1,5 Kg overweight of my hand luggage; no issue. Didn't had to pay extra fee. Delay only 10 minutes. Boarding was Smooth and quick although the flight was fully booked. On board service lovely. After landing in Ho Chi Minh City the luggage came within no time! I had to wait less than 10 minutes. Maybe I was just lucky but I have to recommend VietJetAir and pay them big compliments.

"I was 5 mins late for checkin"

(Netherlands)

Trip Verified | Worst airline ever! I was supposed to fly with them from Phuket to Bangkok on June 10th. However, I was 5 mins late for checkin and they refused me to checkin for the flight, even though I could have easily made the flight (still more than 50 mins to go before departure and it was a domestic flight, moreover the flight was delayed for 30 mins so actually there was around 1.5 hours left before departure). They made me book another flight and I had to pay extra and wait for 4 hours. The next flight that I got was delayed for another 30 mins. So in total I lost about 4.5 hours and had to pay extra for the flight, if I had known this would happen I would have booked with a more premium airline (it would have been cheaper after the added costs of booking a new flight) and I am sure another airline would have let me checkin, as there was plenty of time for me to make the flight.

"we were late to check in"

(Thailand)

Trip Verified | Phuket to Bangkok. The flight got delayed and they didn’t let us check-in (well, we were late to check in but they could’ve helped us since the flight was 30-40mins delayed) so we needed to pay for the extra amount to get on the next flight (which is like 4hours apart) when we can easily make it on time for that flight. And then the new flight that we got was delayed again for 40mins. It’s like the stuff doesn’t want to help us at all. Worst service ever!
