Wonder what route they'll use them on. BKK? SIN? TPE?

Can't say I really think of Vietnam Airlines as a carrier that can sustain the use of an A380.
No, I think VN will be deployment on A380 nonstop SGN-LAX/SFO. I believe it will be very successful on operable A380 serviceable. I think VN is consider to orders A380-800R. It need to be more extended range to get longest distance from SGN. It will have more payload weight restrictions.
