Is Sun PhuQuoc Airways Worth It? | Hanoi (HAN) - Phu Quoc (PQC) | A321 Economy (Full Trip Report)

Hello everyone, nice to meet you again. Let's Experience Vietnam’s newest airline with me in this NEWEST video for a long time! ✈️ This is my first flight onboard Sun PhuQuoc Airways, the brand-new carrier that launched its inaugural flights in November 2025. I flew from Hanoi (HAN) to Phu Quoc Island (PQC) on an Airbus A321-200, and the experience was surprisingly impressive! This is a popular route that connects the capital with the Jade Island of Phu Quoc. Despite being a new airline, the service was professional, the crew was friendly, and passengers even received a light meal with free tea, coffee, and drinks—great value for a ticket that costs only $60–100 one-way for economy class which is typically below standard price! The weather was perfect on this flight, giving us clear skies, bright sunshine, and stunning views during the journey. A smooth and enjoyable flight overall! Conclusion: I think with a new carrier, but their service was good, somewhat cheap. Especially, with economy class you get a free of checked baggage piece of 23 kg is so good compared to other low-cost carriers which calculate extra fee for this. Moreover, you will also get a free light meal with all ticket classes (2-4 hours flight), that is so good too.
