Vietnam Airlines From 136K Miles Round-Trip |
| Award space to Asia continues to be tight, so I thought I’d flag some Vietnam Airlines business class award space for up to four people. This could be a solid option if you need a one-way ticket to Southeast Asia. However, if you’re booking round-trip, you can get an even better rate!
Just note that there is significantly more space on the return.
Now, let’s get into it! |

| | | 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
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.
Flying Blue: Best One-Way Rate
The one-way business class rate of 106,000 Flying Blue miles is steep, but it’s the only one-way option I would consider if you have Bilt, Capital One, Chase, or Citi points. |

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).
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.
Happy booking! |
