flee 5 Report post Posted September 3, 2015 Thanks guys! We keep calling them ME3 that Australia sounds more Asian than Qatar! Anyway, what I should have said is the first SE Asian or ASEAN carrier.... Here is the other part of VN's fleet modernisation programme - the B787-9. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They will be used on the Hanoi and Ho Chih Minh City routes to London, Paris and Frankfurt. Last time I checked, these flights should commence in November and fares are just a bit over RM 1700 return. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still fairly cheap but would prefer to try the 747-8i with LH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
