|  | Vietnam Airlines Business Class, Up To 4 Seats |
| I forgot to include a great option with ANA Mileage Club. Details below.
I’ve been keeping an eye on Vietnam Airlines business class space and waiting for a transfer bonus. Well, the 1-2 punch of award space and a transfer bonus finally popped, so this is a great opportunity to book non-stop business class to Vietnam.
Considering how difficult it has been to find award space across the Pacific, this is a great opportunity to book up to 4 people to Southeast Asia.

| | | 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 |
| Best Ways To Book
Flying Blue: Best Rate + Citi Transfer Bonus
The one-way business class rate of 100,500 Flying Blue miles is steep, but it’s the only option I would consider as its so much better than Virgin and Delta’s rates.
However, with Citi’s 25% transfer bonus, you’d only need to transfer 81,000 points and that’s a great rate for business class to Asia.
ANA: Best Round-Trip Rate
If you’re booking round-trip, 136,000 ANA miles is your best bet. The total taxes/fees are only ~$45. Just keep in mind that transfers from Amex can take a few days. |
