Let's head to departure hall of Vietjet Air at the terminal.

Departure hall, which was pretty crowded at that time.

Today, I would fly on flight VJ190 to Hanoi, and the estimated departure time would be 2.05 pm.

I already did online check-in, so I went directly to security check.

Security check was fast, and 5 minutes later, I got into airside.

Now let's go to departure gate of this flight.

Here was the departure gate of this flight: gate 21, and this is the bus gate.

Boarding was called, and I got on the bus to get to the aircraft.

This was the aircraft for today's flight, which was an Airbus A320 with the registration of VN-A691, and it was 9.5 years old. It's pretty interesting to see this plane doesn't have Vietjet Air's livery.

Boarding

Here was my seat on this flight: seat 16A.


photo screenshot_20200514_192016-63457

Legroom was quite decent, and not a problem to me on this flight.

25 minutes after boarding, the aircraft started to pushback and taxied to the runway.

Take-off



In the seat pocket, I had: a safety card, a menu, and an inflight magazine of Vietjet Air named one2FLY.


photo img_20191011_144320

In the menu, there are plentiful of hot meals plus snacks and drinks to choose. Some hot meals are available to pre-order online, but I always ask the crew 1st to know if other hot meals options are available onboard.

15 minutes after take-off, buy-on-board services were started.


photo screenshot_20200514_192247-82280

And these were what I bought on this flight.


photo screenshot_20200514_192257

I bought a portion of nasi lemak costs 70.000 đ (about $3)


photo screenshot_20200514_192304

For drink, I bought a box of Milo drink costs 30.000đ (over $1)


photo screenshot_20200514_192314

Nasi lemak tasted really delicious, and with Milo, it becomes such a perfect couple for an authentic Malaysian style meal.

Let's have a look at the lavatory in the back of the cabin. This lavatory was quite basic, yet really clean. Not bad for a low-cost airline.

OMG. When I got back to the seat, I saw a very disturbing scene: A foot with a sock with a hole on my armrest. Unbelievable!  


photo screenshot_20200514_192440

Good thing that I still kept a fork from the meal earlier lmao ;)


photo screenshot_20200514_192450

After nearly 90 minutes in the air, the aircraft started to descend and prepared for landing.
