Passenger Reports
Did Yangon to Ho Chi Minh City last April and it was genuinely one of the smoothest long-haul flights I've had. Barely any movement the whole way.
Frequent flyer · April
Was nervous about this flight but honestly didn't need to be. Smooth the whole way, the 2h 15m went by fast.
First-time passenger · February
Totally smooth January flight. The seatbelt sign came on once briefly over the subcontinent but nothing actually happened. Great trip.
