On my recent trip pursuing the SAS EuroBonus Millionaire challenge, I had to fly back from Jakarta to Seoul with Vietnam Airlines. The stopovers and schedules were not the best, with options via both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh. I went for the latter one, given that I could get the chance to try both their A321 and 787-10, a variant I’ve never tried before. Here’s a detailed recap of my experience with Vietnam Airlines, from Jakarta (CGK) to Ho Chi Minh (SGN) on an A321-200. You can check the review of the second flight here. Let’s start!

Korean Air just pulled back the curtain on a brand-new identity and aircraft livery—the first time they’ve made such a major change in over 40 years. They revealed it on March 11, 2025,, in Seoul, showing off a Boeing 787-10 freshly painted in the new design.

The updated brand isn’t just about appearances—it sets the tone for where Korean Air is headed as they combine with Asiana and keep up with modern design trends.

Korean Air’s acquisition of Asiana Airlines, first announced in late 2020, has finally been completed after nearly four years of regulatory reviews. Finalized in December 2024, this merger creates a powerful national carrier in South Korea and positions Korean Air as one of the largest airlines globally by fleet size.
