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.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the check-in counter, we picked up our paper tickets (handwritten, mind you) for flight AK 871 to Kuala Lumpur. Fortunately, no one was interested in our carry-on luggage. A border guard, a Stasi officer in the manner of an unfriendly and grim-faced man, then validated our visa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1366\" src=\"https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/unser-ticket-nach-kuala-lumpur.jpeg\" alt=\"Our ticket to Kuala Lumpur\" class=\"wp-image-21724\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/unser-ticket-nach-kuala-lumpur.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/unser-ticket-nach-kuala-lumpur-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/unser-ticket-nach-kuala-lumpur-1536x1025.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/unser-ticket-nach-kuala-lumpur-1200x800.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Our ticket to Kuala Lumpur<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Our plane, an Airbus A320-200 (registration: 9M-AFP, first flight: 2006), arrived in Hanoi 20 minutes late. This meant we were about 30 minutes behind schedule for departure. The pre-ordered meals began being served during the climb. Since there was no breakfast for us today, we were incredibly hungry. So we enjoyed the smoked chicken focaccia, small fruit-filled cookies, and a cup of water. Not bad for about \u20ac2.50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1366\" src=\"https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/smoked-chicken-focaccia.jpeg\" alt=\"Smoked Chicken Focaccia\" class=\"wp-image-21727\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/smoked-chicken-focaccia.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/smoked-chicken-focaccia-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/smoked-chicken-focaccia-1536x1025.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/smoked-chicken-focaccia-1200x800.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Smoked Chicken Focaccia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We were satisfied with the service and the aircraft&#039;s amenities.
