This page brings together all of miles-around's posts about Hanoi Noi Bai Airport (IATA: HAN) – two historical trip reports from a Southeast Asia tour in autumn 2011, offering an early look at low-cost travel in the region.
Included are the Aeroflot Economy Class trip report on the Airbus A330-200 from Moscow to Hanoi, part of a journey to Southeast Asia, and the AirAsia Economy Class trip report on the Airbus A320-200 from Hanoi to Kuala Lumpur – one of the blog's first low-cost carrier reviews from the early days of budget air travel in Asia. These reports are aimed at travelers exploring Vietnam as part of a Southeast Asia tour and interested in historical cabin reviews from the region.
We flew from Hanoi to Kuala Lumpur. We chose an AirAsia Economy Class Airbus A320. We took a taxi from the smog of Hanoi to Noi Bai International Airport at 6:30 a.m. After about a 40-minute drive, we arrived in the departure hall of Terminal 1. Noi Bai International Airport is a bit dated and looks like it did during the GDR era.
In this trip report, I'll provide a detailed look at the cabin and seating configuration aboard Aeroflot's Economy Class Airbus A330-200. Look forward to a comprehensive review of my flight to Hanoi, including how the food tasted, which movies and series were available, and whether Aeroflot met my expectations.
