Flying Sofa: airfare good news for Economy passengers.
Get the 2 adjoining seats – that’s your entire row – for an extra USD400 / AUD590 / VND9,400,000.
Vietnam Airlines is offering the “Sky Sofa” upgrade for Economy Flex, Economy Classic or Economy Lite tickets, including direct flights Ho Chi Minh City/Hanoi to Melbourne/Sydney.
That’s almost half the price of Business Class, and Vietnam Airlines Economy includes 2 nice meals, in-flight entertainment and checked-in luggage.
Eg: HCMC-Melbourne Economy fare is about AUD950 plus Sky Sofa = AUD1,540; Business Class is about AUD2,400.
Bamboo Airways and VietJet also have some good deals for Australia-Vietnam direct flights – which is welcome news, given the high cost of international airfares.
