Some things to think about the next time you fly
Most travelers choose an airline for reasons other than security or safety practices. The best airline for many leisure travelers is the one that provides the best seats for the best price. The best airline for others may be the one with the most frequent flyer miles. For a business traveler, the best airline may be the one with the most comfortable business-class amenities.
However, an airline’s security or safety practices should be considered a top priority and core value. Vietnam Airlines’ the aircrafts age, technical maintenance, the amenities provided,… made it meet perfect International Safety Standards. That’s why we choose Vietnam Airlines for all our tours to Vietnam.
