This would be just a short report on my recent Hari Raya long weekend getaway on Ho Chi Minh City. Tickets were booked a few months back on a combination of SIN's 2 largest LCCSs, Jetstar Asia and Tigerair, at very low prices for the peak travel period. Guess Vietnam is still not a very popular holiday destination for us Singaporeans.

What I like about Jetstar, online check-in can be done 48hrs prior to flight and seats can be chosen at that time at no extra charge. Boarding passes printed and verified at the check-in counters. I chose 20A and 20C, and very fortunately, 20B remained empty even though it was a rather full flight.
Plane had arrived early back from Bangkok and parked at our departure gate C15.
Not too busy at T1 at this time of the afternoon.
Boarding soon
Boarding by rows was enforced, which made boarding rather smooth. Plane was fitted with the new slim-line seats which I liked.
Legroom was sufficient, and with the new seats, at least I can stretch out my legs.
Seat pocket contents.
At the gate.
Boarding in progress.
Slight delay due to no-shows and offload of bags. Luckily it was not long and we pushed back and had a short taxi to Rwy20C for departure.
Takeoff!
