I flew on Vietnam's award-winning budget airline known for its bikini-clad flight attendants 3 times in one week, and it was an emotional rollercoaster

racy advertising featuring flight attendants in bikinis. Hidden fees for add-ons like checked bags and drinks help drive up costs, and one of my three flights was significantly delayed. Also, flight attendants on most Vietjet flights do not actually wear bikinis.

A little digging revealed that Vietjet was more than just an airline with bikini-clad flight attendants. Vietjet Air was named "Asia Pacific Low-Cost Airline of the Year" by Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation in 2019. Airlinerating.com named it the "Best Ultra Low-Cost Airline" last year. And, a quick perusal of flights to and within Vietnam revealed it was often the least expensive option when booking tickets.

Instead, my first Vietjet flight started in a more boring manner — checking in at Seoul's Incheon International Airport.I had bought my economy ticket to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam online for just $84. However, with optional add-ons like seat placement , food , and a 20 kg bag , as well as fees such as an "airport tax" and "fuel surcharge," the actual total was $195.My roller suitcase qualifies as a carry-on for most airlines, fitting in the overhead compartment.
