Vietnam Airlines is the first airline to operate Premium Economy on this route. Passengers have their own check-in counter, priority-tagged luggage, and receive service vouchers at the airport restaurant before boarding time.
Before departure, Premium Economy passengers are given priority to board the plane and after landing, they are given priority to disembark first, saving waiting time.
On the flight, passengers are served snacks and drinks. Airplanes install additional dividing curtains at the end of the aircraft to increase the sense of separation and comfort. Lotusmiles members of Vietnam Airlines are entitled to a mileage factor of 120-130%, much higher than that of a regular class of 10-100%. "These are all additional benefits that are superior to the regular ticket class, bringing new and exciting experiences to passengers," said a representative of Vietnam Airlines.
Con Dao is an ideal destination for tourists who love to explore the natural landscape as well as learn about culture and history. Not only possessing beautiful landscapes, the place is also famous for relics associated with the history of revolution and heroic resistance.
In the high season, Vietnam Airlines operates more than 80 flights a week between Ho Chi Minh City - Con Dao, 5 flights a week between Can Tho - Con Dao. The flights are operated by VASCO, a member airline of Vietnam Airlines. According to a representative of Vietnam Airlines, besides transporting tourists, these are also national airlines' flight routes to ensure traffic connectivity and socio-economic development in mountainous and island areas.
