Tips to have comfortable flights from Hanoi to the United States
Flights from Hanoi to the United States are considered long-haul flights. Therefore, to ensure your comfort during those long journeys, please be mindful with the following guidelines:
- Be aware of the United States visa requirements: Unless you are citizens of specifically exempted countries, firstly, your passport must remain valid for at least six months beyond your duration of stay in the United States. Second, remember that you need to apply for a visa that fits with the purpose of your trip. Take time to read the requirements carefully here.
- Select the schedule strategically to sleep on flights: Flying from Hanoi to the United States involves crossing multiple time zones, which can lead to jet lag. To minimize the effects of jet lag, it is important to choose flights that fit your normal sleep schedule. You should also avoid drinking caffeine and alcohol before and during your flight as these substances can interfere with sleep.
- Choose a comfortable seat: On the flights from Hanoi to the United States, you may sit for 20 hours or more so a comfortable seat is needed. To ensure your in-flight experiences, Vietnam Airlines introduces you to Sky Sofa services. Sky Sofa offers you a package of two empty seats besides yours, which allows you to have a more comfortable, convenient, and private 3-seat row in the Economy cabin.
- Stay hydrated: Long-haul flights might be difficult for your health and well-being because of the changes in the timezone, limited food options, and dryness in cabin air. To avoid these problems, drink water regularly throughout your flight.
- Bring suitable in-flight entertainment: Vietnam Airlines offers a wide variety of in-flight entertainment options, including movies, TV shows, music, and games. To pass the time on your long flight, we recommend bringing your own entertainment devices or enjoying the options provided by Vietnam Airlines. Check out the entertainment options here.
- Wear comfortable clothing: For maximum comfort during your flight, we recommend choosing loose-fitting, breathable clothing. Avoid wearing tight or restrictive clothing, as this can make you feel uncomfortable and restrict your movement. Additionally, it is a good idea to bring a sweater or jacket, as the temperature on the plane can vary.
