have you got a good ha long bay cruise operator to recommend?

I've been looking at some, but I'm unsure if they are operating.

some like damn ex. was looking at stellar of the seas (9xx usd for 2 pax!?)

I don’t have… i only took a half-day cruise tour and then stay in a hotel

Outside Danang international airport has free tourists SIM card 2 gb, but must allow them to take photo of your passport and your face. Not sure what they do with the images.

Just back after 5 days in hcm. Took Bamboo Airways. My local friend said the CEO was jailed for disposing his shares without declaration and the share price crashed. Hence, they're trying hard to win back customers with good service. (??)
The trip to hcm was rather pleasant. Aircraft was rather big, 3 rows type. (Not sure aircraft type). Spacious seats. I had emergency seats which can recline and wide space in front. Female Flight attendants wore tight outfits. Can see the nice figure haha. Food have vietnamese noodles with pork, porridge. I had the noodles which is basically yellow noodles with a few slices of char siew. plane landed in the airport and need to take a bus to the terminal.
The return trip was like a budget airline with A320 old aircraft. Seats were old and cushion thinned. Even can see water stains at the air con area. No cold air until up in the sky. Again, i had emergency seat even though i asked not to have. Seat cannot recline. It was again a full flight. The first few rows are business seats and front toilets not for use. Imagine the 180 passengers using 2 toilets at the rear, more difficult to move around with the food carts blocking the way. Food have beef noodles or pork rice noodles. I don't feel secured on this flight. Glad i made it home safely...

I took this haha, it has free 1.5GB then once the data is finished they gave another 2GB. I think it was from Viettel something - they said it is a tourism project to welcome back tourist to Vietnam.

It was 9.45am. the bamboo counters were very slow. The immigration clearance is fast though, since there weren't many flights.

Thanks for the information! I'll most likely be returning on a Monday for an upcoming trip planned and Bamboo's return flights on Mondays are at 750am.

There's 2 toilets in the middle 2 more at the back.
I always ask for the last row.
Previous trip to hcm and back I had the whole row to myself.
Would fly bamboo from now to hcm. Since it's slightly more expensive then budget but have check in bags.
Bad point is arrived hcm need to take bus to international terminal.
Same for vietjet and Vietnam air

How much is bamboo? I think SQ prices very attractive leh, $230 to $280 HCM or Hanoi

I checked before, their prices about just under $200 2 ways from SG to HCMC.

Just curious, anyone flew with Vietjet before?

No issues. Their inflight meals is cheap compared to other budget. Reach vn also must take bus. Fly off from vn also take bus.
Comparing the prices that I usually fly. I rather take bamboo now. Since bamboo at times is cheaper then vj. And got check in bags and inflight meals.

The bus is internal within the airport from domestic to international airport? Looking at Danang in dec. Will the staff direct us to there or at least got directional signs in english?

that i have no idea, as the buses were for us to clear immigration at international airport.
i only know from the outside international and domestic is two different entrances,
u might need to clear international immigration before going to domestic, as there are no immigration counter in the domestic airport.
i might be wrong.
