Hi guys. Welcome to my next report on Flight-Report. Today, I will fly with Jetstar Pacific from Ho Chi Minh City to Phu Quoc on Airbus A321 of Vietnam Airlines. But first, please check out my trip report about this flight on YouTube. 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
And here is the script report. Hope you guys will enjoy :D
Today's flight would start at Domestic Terminal, Tan Son Nhat International Airport, Ho Chi Minh City.
Today, I would fly on flight BL303 to Phu Quoc, and the estimated departure time would be 6 am.
Let's go inside the terminal.
Departure hall of the terminal.
Jetstar Pacific's check-in area
This time, I decided to use the check-in kiosk to get my boarding pass since the check-in area was quite busy and the I didn't have any checked baggage.
Check-in was done. Then I went upstairs to do the security check to get to the gate.
15 minutes later, I finally finished the security check procedure and made into airside.
The gate for this flight was gate 3, and this is a bus gate.
Boarding was called, and I went downstairs to get on the bus.
Here was the aircraft for today's flight. The registration of this A321 is VN-A352, and it was 12.8 years old. This plane was one of the few planes that Vietnam Airlines transferred to Jetstar Pacific during the summer season. That is why we had such an unique journey today ;D
Boarding
My seat on this flight was 21A.
Legroom was like on many Vietnam Airlines' A321s, wide and spacious.
Tray table
View from my window, and cabin view from my seat.
30 minutes after boarding, the aircraft started to pushback and taxi to the runway.
Take-off
In the seat pocket, I had: an inflight magazine of Jetstar Pacific, an andvertisement card, a safety card, and a sickness bag.
10 minutes after take-off, buy-on-board service was started. Unfortunately, I was broke at that time, so I didn't buy anything to eat or drink onboard :(
There weren't many things happened in this short flight, so I spent most of the time enjoying the views outside the window.
Cabin view
After about 25 minutes in the air, the aircraft started to descend and prepared to land.
Landing
Disembarkation
My journey had ended at Phu Quoc International Airport, Phu Quoc. Thank you for reading and watching, and see you in the next report :D
HI Vinavia, thanks for sharing, I always enjoy your reports! On these Vietnam Airlines aircraft, who gets to sit in the Business class cabin. Since Jetstar is all-Economy, do they charge an extra fee to sit in the Business seats or do some people just get lucky?
So basically, you will pay 11 dollars at the check-in counter to upgrade to Business Class on A321 of Vietnam Airlines. I already has a report on this website about this.
Thanks for the information. That's a good deal for the extra space.
Yes, and it's totally worth the price, too
