The fleet is built around Boeing 787-9, Airbus A350-900 and Boeing 777-200ER for long-haul operations, with additional narrowbody types on regional routes. Vietnam Airlines is a SkyTeam alliance member, which gives passengers access to lounges and booking across all partner carriers worldwide.

The business class experience

Vietnam Airlines Business Class features Lie-flat staggered with direct aisle access (787/A350). Seat width is 22 inches and fully extended bed length is 78 inches — comfortable for passengers up to about 6'3" (190cm) to sleep fully flat. The seat layout on Vietnam Airlines's long-haul widebody aircraft typically offers direct aisle access for every business class passenger, so you never have to climb over a seatmate.

In-flight entertainment is delivered via Seatback touchscreen IFE. Dining on Vietnam Airlines: Vietnamese pho, banh mi-inspired dishes, and international options. Baggage allowance in business class: 2 × 32kg checked. All flights include amenity kits, premium bedding, and priority boarding/baggage handling.

Lounges and ground experience

At the home hub: Lotus Lounge (SGN/HAN). At other airports worldwide: SkyTeam partner lounges worldwide. Lounge access is included with your business class ticket — you show your boarding pass at the lounge entrance and receive food, drinks, WiFi, and dedicated workspaces until boarding time.

On the ground at departure, Vietnam Airlines business class passengers get dedicated check-in counters, fast-track security lanes where available, and priority boarding. At arrival, baggage is tagged with priority labels and comes out first — typically saving 15-30 minutes versus economy on heavily-loaded flights.
