Vietnam Airlines From 136K Miles Round-Trip |
| If you’re looking for a flight home from Southeast Asia, this one is for you. There are also two Flying Blue transfer bonuses that could help you get an even better deal on this one. Of course, if you have Amex points, a round-trip award with ANA Mileage Club is a great option as well!
Just note that there is significantly more space on the return.
Now, let’s get into it! |

| Bilt Transfer Bonus Accor: Backdoor To Flying Blue
On June 1st, Bilt is running a transfer bonus to Accor which improves their standard 3:2 transfer ratio:
Accor points also transfer to Flying Blue at a 1:1 ratio, so you can probably see where I’m going with this. If you transfer 50,000 Bilt points to Accor, you’d get 100,000 Accor points which can become 100,000 Flying Blue miles.
That’s your one way ticket at 50% off! |

| | | Flight Experience
Vietnam Airlines operates an Airbus A350 on this route. The business class cabin is arranged in a 1-2-1 reverse herringbone layout which means each seat is lie-flat and has direct aisle access.
On my flight from Hanoi to Tokyo, I found the crew to be friendly and the catering to be solid overall. I wouldn’t say it’ll win any awards, but it’s a solid way to fly |

Flying Blue will allow you to hold award space over the phone (800-375-8723) and you can include a stopover if you want to see two cities on one award.
Virgin Atlantic Flying Club will put award space on hold for up to 24 hours, but you'll need to call to do so (800-862-8621).
