Hi all,
I'm looking at flying out to Phu Quoc from HCM for a day or so. I see 3 airlines serve the route:
- Vietnam Airlines, on ATR-72 prop planes;
- VietJet, on Airbus 320s;
- Air Mekong, on new CRJ-900 regional jets.
Do any of you have any experience with Air Mekong? I've flown Vietnam Air to Hanoi before, with no problems (but on a widebody) and I know they are generally up to standard. They have 3-5 flights a day to Phu Quoc.
My cousins have warned me away from VietJet, if only because of common delayed/canceled flight issues. Only 1 daily flight to Phu Quoc.
Air Mekong looks like a relatively new company so little info in terms of review of service. They are cheaper than Vietnam Air by 250.000-450.000d, so if there aren't delay issues I'd want to try them out! (Safety isn't so much the concern, the jets are only 3-4 years old and are from Skywest in the US). 1-3 flights a day (Phu Quoc is their home base).
Thanks!
