SGN is not exactly a great Asian hub, so how in the world can VN fill a daily A380 from LAX/SFO? If NH (perhaps JL?) at NRT and CX at HKG don't think they can consistently fill an A380 with their hubs, I am interested to see how VN can pull that off. BTW, does the A380 have enough range to do LAX/SFO-SGN nonstop?
