Is Vietnam Airlines Business Class Underrated? Flight Experience on Boeing 787-9 — Hanoi to London

Join me as I fly Vietnam Airlines Business Class for the very first time on flight VN55 from Hanoi to London Heathrow! From check-in to landing, I share the full experience of Vietnam’s national carrier, including premium check-in, lounge impressions, cabin comfort, onboard dining, and service. At Hanoi Airport, Vietnam Airlines offers dedicated check-in counters for premium passengers, though the lounge was unexpectedly chaotic and tightly packed. Once onboard, things improved fast: a warm welcome with champagne, cold towels, and a comfortable seat setup. Throughout the flight, I tried the full Vietnamese menu, featuring lemongrass chicken salad, pork skewers infused with lemongrass, fish-sauce-based instant noodles, beef noodle soup, Vietnamese coffee, and more. The airline clearly showcases Vietnamese culture through its cuisine—and I was impressed! I also review the lie-flat seat, cabin temperature, amenities, mid-flight snacks, and how early Vietnam Airlines serves its pre-landing meal compared to European carriers. If you're considering flying Vietnam Airlines long-haul, or just love flight reviews and inflight food content, this video has it all. ✈️🇻🇳 #VietnamAirlines #BusinessClass #FlightReview #Aviation #TravelVlog 💬 If you’ve flown this route operated by Skyteam member Vietnam Airlines before, I’d love to hear from you in the comments! 🔔 Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe to my channel, and make sure to follow me on Instagram to stay updated with my adventures! ✨ 🎥 YouTube: @sliceofkian 🌍 Follow my journeys on: instagram.com/sliceofkian ＿＿＿ NOT SPONSORED Flight Information Flight number: VN55 Cabin: Business Class Aircraft: Boeing 787-9 Registration: VN-A864 From: Hanoi (HAN) To: London Heathrow (LHR) Date: September 2025 ＿＿＿ Contents 00:00 Hanoi Airport Check-In 01:17 Lotus Lounge 03:45 Boarding & Seat Tour 05:33 Business Class Menu 05:58 Take off 06:13 Business Class Drinks List 06:53 Main Meal Service (Lunch) 10:17 Seat Lie-Flat Review 11:41 Mid-Flight Snacks 12:20 Pre-Landing Meal 14:41 Final Thoughts
