Enjoy your vacation. This JW was the best hotel property I've ever stayed at. Loved it.
I'd recommend flying back to SGN the night before. I can't speak to Vietnam Airlines (I've heard they are reputable), but our experience with VietJet air was they were very unreliable.

We're in Vietnam exactly 7 nights, so my initial thought was to spend all 7 at Phu Quoc, but now I'm a bit concerned about flights. Our flight back home leaves SGN at 11:05am. I was thinking one of the morning flights from PQC (Vietnam Airlines 07:50-08:50; VietJet 07:30-08:30; or Jetstar 07:40-08:45). [Curiously none of the Vietnam Airlines non-stop PQC->SGN flights show up on Google Flights.] People seem to say that Vietnam Airlines is the most reliable (though from recent data (below), Jetstar looks best), but all they all too risky, and should we instead just fly to SGN the day before?
