Our first trip to Japan was an adventure for just the two of us. After researching various options, we decided to take advantage of a promotional ticket offered by Vietnam Airlines. This ticket provided full service, including meals and a generous 30 kg baggage allowance.

We secured the promotional ticket for 10,774.22 baht. Our travel dates were November 16-21, 2017.

At the time, Vietnam Airlines was offering promotional fares for flights between Bangkok and Tokyo starting at around 9,300 baht. This price was not much lower than the promotional ticket we purchased.


The flight from Suvarnabhumi Airport will have a layover in Hanoi. The connecting flight will be on an Airbus A321 with a 3-3 seating configuration (similar to AirAsia aircraft).

This flight is 2 hours long. There are two meal options to choose from during the flight.

Beverages are provided, including water, juice, beer, and wine.


Baked fish and potatoes.

Chicken noodles.

Connecting flights in Hanoi: A breeze

Connecting flights in Hanoi is a breeze thanks to the airport's compact size. Passengers arriving on the second floor simply follow the clearly marked signs for "Connecting Flights" and head up to the third floor, where they will pass through another security check.

At this checkpoint, everyone, without exception, must remove their shoes and place them in the scanner.

Arriving in the early evening, the terminal was relatively empty, offering ample seating and space to stretch out and wait for your connecting flight.


Or go shopping to relieve boredom before going on a shopping spree in Japan.

If you're craving pho, check out this restaurant. It has a sign with a woman giving a thumbs-up, so it must be delicious! 555


The flight to Narita had a layover in Vietnam for approximately 4 hours. The arrival time in Narita was around midnight.

I was eagerly anticipating whether I would be able to fly on the new Dreamliner.

In conclusion, both the outbound and return flights from Vietnam to Narita were on Boeing 787-9 aircraft with a 3-3-3 seating configuration.

(**The return flight had a layover in Vietnam for approximately 2 hours.)


The flight time from Hanoi to Narita is approximately 5 hours.

As soon as you board the plane, your bed is ready.


Enjoy movies, music, and games with the included headphones.

Personal screens at every seat


The plane took off and I was able to sleep for a while, but I woke up before long. We prepared to eat breakfast before landing.

The food menu will be the same for the next 3 months, and then the menu will change again.


The menu offers both Japanese and Western-style options.

(Breakfast is served on the flight from Hanoi, while lunch is served on the return flight from Narita.)

The beverage selection remains extensive, with the addition of cocktails.


This is the Japanese Style menu for the Hanoi-Narita route.

The arrival process was smooth and efficient, with minimal queues at immigration.

The total time from landing to clearing customs was approximately 40 minutes, including deplaning, washing up, collecting luggage, and passing through immigration and customs.



On the return flight from Narita to Hanoi, peanuts were served before the main meal. (Peanuts were also served on the outbound flight, but I forgot to take a picture.)


If you want to see Mount Fuji, choose to sit on the left side of the plane on your return flight from Narita.

On the outbound flight, the captain flew out to sea.

This only applies to Vietnam Airlines. Other airlines usually encounter this on the outbound flight.

So how do you get the seat you want? Check in online and choose your own seat.

They allow online check-in 24 hours before the flight, so we were able to get the seat we wanted.


This is the return flight from Hanoi to Bangkok, again on an Airbus A321.

Reasons for Choosing Vietnam Airlines

We chose to fly with Vietnam Airlines for the following reasons:

1. Budget Constraints: Our budget was limited to around ten thousand baht.

2. Comparison with Low-Cost Airlines in Thailand:

  • 2.1 AirAsia: After adding all the additional fees, AirAsia was more expensive than Vietnam Airlines, and the flight times were not significantly better.
  • 2.2 NokScoot: We decided against NokScoot due to several reported incidents of passenger abandonment.

3. Comparison with Full-Service Airlines with Layovers:

  • 3.1 Hong Kong Airlines: While their prices were similar to Vietnam Airlines, we opted against them due to frequent and lengthy flight delays.
  • 3.2 Cathay Pacific: Although Cathay Pacific was an attractive option, their prices were approximately 5,000 baht higher. We felt that for a slightly higher price, a direct flight would be preferable.

4. Flight Delay Information: Based on our research, we did not find any reports of flight delays on Vietnam Airlines for the Hanoi-Narita, Narita-Hanoi, and other routes to Japan.

5. Flight Schedule:

  • Departure:
  • Return:
