One user commented, "singlehandedly ruined my Vietnam trip with each of their 4 inter-city flights delayed. We spent 5 hours sitting at the airport and missed a whole day of our anniversary celebration. I'm going to Vietnam again because it's a beautiful country, but this airline is a strict no-no."

Another wrote, "Same thing happened with us on our layover in Ho Chi Minh City, flying to Bali!! They made us pay $100 for 2 cabin carry bags even though we had prepaid for them online. We are talking about a standard-size cabin carry, just overweight by about 1kg."

One user commented, "This is an issue with Vietnam. They charge you for a single drop of water, also, and there is no policy of giving water on flights. You need to buy it."
