Vietnam airlines additional luggage Flying blue Silver
Hi,
I'm flying blue Silver member since a few months and I'm going to Paris from Singapore I've multiple-choice (AF, VN) but I'm seriously thinking on going with Vietnam Airlines for 1 main reason the XP I can have a top over to HCM or Hanoi and grab 10 XP just for 1h30 stop over which is not bad I think.
However, when I simulate the booking on Vietnam Airlines I've only 1 piece of 40 KGS as a Silver Member I have the benefits of 1 more piece on every Sky Team flight do you know if for Vietnam Airlines that will be the case?
Thanks.
Appreciate your help.

Welcome to Flyertalk 
There is no reason to not have this extra luggage allowance as this is a Skyteam benefit for Elite members.
If you book with VN, make sure you book in a eligible earning fare for FB accrual.

I've flown SIN-CDG several times through VN hubs (SGN/HAN). My FB privileges always applied, and my partner's Silver status also did. VN has great fares in business class (I think they usually book in D or I, not sure). If you are willing to take some less convenient connections (day long or overnight) you can even get the AF codeshare to/from SGN for the price of the VN flight.
XP routinely doesn't post, but FB has mostly cleaned up their act on retroclaims so it's no biggie.

So I maintain that, as a precaution, prbreezy checks that the booked fare on VN will be eligible in FB earning if this is important for him/her.
