Welcome to my 3rd Trip Report!
This will be my 2nd time in Vietnam this year, flying VN Business Class MEL-SGN and back.
Flight: VN780
Route: MEL-SGN
Date: 25/12/2012
Aircraft: Airbus Industrie A330-200
Aircraft Registration: VN-A377
Seat: 3K (window)
Departure Time: 11:47 (delayed 22 minutes)
Load: 95%~ in Business
I arrived at MEL use about 1.5 hours until departure, just in time for check-in! The J/SkyPriority line had 1 pax in front of me being served by a friendly male check in agent, in a matter of minutes my bags were checked through, I was given my boarding pass, QF Club invitation and express pass through immigration and security. MEL today was very busy being a Tuesday morning, there was departures from EK, KE, QF, VA, VN, CA, MU, CZ, D7, MH, SQ, BI, NZ, UA, GA & JQ. EK & KE were delayed for a few hours today, adding further complications to the number of available gates.
I had a quick stop at the QF Club (which was very busy and crowded) and where I was greeted by a friendly lounge attendant for a little snack, before heading off snapping pictures away of the arriving and departing planes.
NZ 772 operated as NZ 123 Heading in from AKL, with SQ 773 *A making a special appearance at D8


Hello Neighbours! SQ 777, MH A333 & D7 A333

KE A332 sitting at D10, this flight was delayed by 3 hours ~ Sadly MEL won't be showing up on KE's route network from March :[

MU in the distance

QF A330 arriving from PER

SkyTeam friends CZ A332 & VN A332 with *A SQ 777

SQ A388 & JQ A332 resting for their trips to SIN later

My ride for today! VN-A377 taking me to SGN for around 8 Hours

Doors closed, ready for push back then .... CZ got in front and we had to wait for them to puchback, which took around 10 minutes as the captain informed us the taxiway is a little congested at the moment due to the number of aircraft being pushed back.

Also had shots of EK 77W, CA A332, QF A388, UA 744 however they didn't upload well
Settling in my seat, complimentary VN slippers !

VN also offered a warm towl, had about 5 of them during the entire flight! And variety of welcome drinks, OJ, Apple Juice and Champagne.
