[Narita → Hanoi] Business class boarding report & Hanoi international flight → domestic flight transfer

[Vietnam Airlines Business Class Boarding Report ✈️ Narita → Hanoi] This flight was from Narita Airport to Hanoi Noi Bai International Airport. The airline I used was Vietnam Airlines. The aircraft was a Boeing 787, and I flew in business class. Seats and Amenities The business class seats are fully flat, so you can stay comfortable even on long flights. The seats are arranged in a 1-2-1 configuration, so the two middle seats are just right for couples or friends, but since there is no partition, you may feel a little awkward if you are sitting next to someone you don't know. The blankets are great! The amenity kit is Samsonite! The aircraft feels a little old, so if you have experienced other business flights, it may be a little disappointing 😇 In-flight meals First, drinks are served, followed by a welcome time with nuts. After that, you can choose between an appetizer, warm bread, and a main dish of steak or chicken. I chose steak! It was delicious. For dessert, you can choose from fruit, cake, and Japanese sweets. I chose cake and fruit. All of them had a refined taste, and the in-flight service was very satisfying until the very end. The staff were also kind! [How to transfer to a domestic flight in Hanoi] After arriving in Hanoi, the steps to transfer to a domestic flight are summarized below. 1. Go through immigration You will go through immigration once at the international airport. At this point, you will be given a "Transit sticker" so stick it in a visible place This sticker will be a sign that you are a connecting flight. 2. Receiving and re-checking your luggage After immigration, pick up your checked luggage at the baggage claim area, and check your luggage again at the "transit-only baggage drop" located immediately to the left after leaving the gate. (The location is as of the time of posting) This will allow you to travel to the domestic flight empty-handed. 3. Transfer to the domestic terminal A free shuttle bus runs to the domestic terminal. On the way, there are many solicitations for paid taxis such as Grab, but if you don't need one, you can ignore them. Continue to the shuttle bus stop. As soon as you exit the outside exit where the car is, cross the crosswalk and you will see the bus on your right! [About the congestion at immigration] This time I was using business class, so I was able to pass through immigration smoothly with almost no waiting time. However, the economy class lane was very crowded and there was a long line. My transfer time was about 2 hours, but if you are using economy class, it is safer to have more than 2 hours (this may vary depending on the congestion). In this way, I was able to transfer smoothly to a domestic flight after arriving at an international flight. I hope this will be of some help to those who will be transferring to a domestic flight via Hanoi✈️🇻🇳 #Transportation related information #Vietnam Airlines #Vietnam
