This video is more detailed than the script version on Flight-Report and has more special things there, so I hope you guys will check out, like the video and support to my channel by subscribe Vinavia on YouTube :D

As usual, my flight started at Terminal 1, Noi Bai International Airport, Hanoi.

Check-in was done, and I got my boarding pass. Then I went to the security check in order to head inside the airside. As you can see, here is actually the waiting line for checking-in of Vietnam Airlines' pasengers. Since I flown on holidays, so there were more crowded than usual.

After the security check was done, I went to the gate. And the gate for this flight was gate 10.

When I got to the gate, I realized my flight was delayed 1 hour and 30 minutes than schedule, which was quite suck because this was actually my 1st flying having delay with them, and Bamboo Airways recently has had the highest on-time performance among other carriers in Vietnam.

Here was the aircraft for this flight. The registration of this A320 is VN-A586, and it was 12.8 years old.

While I was waiting for boarding, I had a chance to enjoy the gorgeous sunset view at the airport.

After a long wait, boarding was called, and I could finally board through the jetbridge.

My seat on this flight was 13A.

Legroom was quite spacious, and it was comfortable for me to stretch my legs, which is quite important for a comfortable flight.

After boarding was done, the aircraft started taxiing to the runway and took-off not long after that.

Shortly after take-off, the cabin crew started serving the meals. On this flight, there were 2 meals options: pork with rice, and beef with noodles. An I chose beef with noodles.

On the seat pocket, we had: a sickness bag, a sefety card, a Bamboo Airways's inflight magazine called LOOK, and a registration form to join Bamboo Club, their frequent flyer program.

Since it was only dark outside, so I didn't take pictures of the view outside the window. But here are some cabin shots :)

Conclusion

The flight was awesome and really nice. The cabin crews were really friendly, and professional, which is the best thing about Bamboo Airways. The meal was tasty, and it tasted wonderful. Airlines in Vietnam barely serves pho on their flight, so having this on QH's flight was definitely a gold. Unfortunately, the worst thing of this trip was the delay. I guess I was really unlucky to catch a delayed flight on many of their on-time flights. But still, I really satisfied with this flight.

    Hi Vinavia, thanks for another beautiful report and video...the photos are fantastic. Wow, the meal looks so good. Amazing to have such a nice meal on a short domestic flight in Economy! Pho noodles...being half-Viet I loooove Pho noodles, yum.

    It's always nice to see reports on lesser known smaller carriers like this. Thanks a lot for sharing!
