Note that the Sydney flights are direct, while others may require connections. Also on some dates, other airlines are cheaper - they'll show in the search when you click through.

    “ Vietnam continues to be the hot destination for Aussies, it seems,” I agree, as a pilot flying for VNA, lots of Aussie and Kiwi going between Hà Nội, Đà Nẵng and Sài Gòn. More should come tbh !

    Whenever I see Aussie onboard, I’ll exaggerate the “G’day” in my PA or “Kia Ora” if they’re Kiwi. People seem to like it.

          Of course, I never said they didn't. But if you work for a Vietnamese airline you've got to speak Vietnamese.

                Doesn't really matter since international flights are usually a mixed bag of people from everywhere who don;t share a common language. I believe it is requirement of an international pilot licence to only be able to speak English (to ensure everyone can communicate with each other over radio). I may be wrong though. I've travelled extensively and most of the time on international flights, it's in English. Domestic is another story…

        It's not for everyone, really depends where you go and especially what you like doing. I've been a few times and enjoy, but im a planner. Those with viet backgrounds or extended family/friends will always be able enjoy more of what it has. Language barrier is much more of a factor and tourism in general is nowhere as well supported as say somewhere like Thailand which anyone can rock up to with zero knowledge or planning and still enjoy.

        I had a horrible time in my 3 weeks in South Vietnam:
        .
        1. There were officials openly taking bribes at Saigon Airport.

        1. My mobile phone was stolen from my pocket within one hour of arriving in Vietnam.

        2. A bar owner tried to break a bottle of beer over my friend's head.

        3. A Saigon Tourist taxi had a high speed meter.

        4. Prostitutes enter restaurants, sit down at your table and proposition you while you try to eat your meal.

        5. Staff of tourist bus companies laugh at you, if you miss a bus and do not offer alternative arrangements.

        6. There were used syringes in the gutters.

        7. Traffic does not stop at crosswalks.

        8. Motorcyclists ride on foot paths.

        9. Stock at the Ben Thanh Market in Saigon was overpriced.

        10. Drug smugglers openly discuss in English their plans in bars.

          I can certainly verify on what you said. As a Vietnamese myself, i find Vietnam is not for everyone, it's more suitable for people who have moderate to high level of street smart. Equiping yourself with life skill to avoid those situations, researching places where locals prefer going, only then you should be able to see a beautiful Vietnam. Otherwise; Japan, China, Korea, Singapore are the safe bet.

        Vietnam was recommended to me by my work colleagues.

        After arriving in Vietnam, I realized that their enthusiasm for Vietnam was based on their family living there. their GFs and cheap beer.

        I do not have any family in Vietnam. As a married man, I was not interested in a Vietnamese GF. There has to be more to a country than cheap beer.

      You could see the highlights in 2 busy weeks or 3 good paced weeks as solo. No1 to slow you down.

      Fly in to Saigon then fly out of Hanoi or vice versa.

      If in Hanoi travel north to Ha Long Bay, if in Saigon travel south to the Mekong Delta.

      Take the reunification express. Stops include Danang (visit marble mountain and Hoi An), Nhatrang, Hue. Or fly if you want a less authentic experience.

      Add 3 more days to visit Dalat.

      It’s best to just search online for a tour/itinerary and just copy the bits you like.

    • JDMcarfan on 14/08/2024 - 17:53

      How old are you and what are you into.
      Did Ha Giang, Hanoi and Ha long bay the beginning of the year over 8 days return (tight timing).
      Would recommend same trip over 10ish days. If you have 2 weeks then add in Ninh Binh.
      Ha Giang was probably the best driving (riding) view of my life. Can self ride (like me, not recommended unless experienced, which I ain’t) or go pillion. There’s hundreds of all inclusive tour providers and is super affordable ($250 USD for 4D3N)
      This would be the itinerary of someone in their 20-30s though and defs not family oriented.

        I sure did. I knew it would be controversial so wanted to see what people would say. By Asian I meant all Asian countries but predominantly East Asia, e.g. Japan, South Korea, China. If someone says they have an Asian fetish they will usually mean they fetishise Chinese/Japanese/Korean/Vietnamese/Thai women (i.e. black hair, light skin, brown eyes).

        I do not condone Asian fetish myself. I'm not sure why I was downvoted so hard either, Australians love going to Asia [for a rub and tug].
