    Jetstar Pacific, Pacific Airlines, or low-cost Vietnam Airlines, whatever you want to call this airline, in today's video I take a look at what it's like to fly them on a short 40-minute hop. Spoiler alert, I can't think of a reason for the average flyer to pick them.

    An update on Pacific Airlines:
    As of the 19th of March, I have learned that Pacific Airlines has ceased operations pending restructuring. They've been in a bit of trouble for a while as I explained in this video. It is my understanding that they will return all of their aircraft to lessors. I'll try to keep you updated, but in the meantime, I wish Pacific Airlines all the best.
    Update 2 (March 30th): I am aware that Pacific Airlines intends to lease 3 planes from Vietnam Airlines so it can keep its license.
    Update 3 (June 23rd): I believe Pacific Airlines has finally announced its return to the skies, as it is preparing to resume operations on June 26th with one aircraft leased from Vietnam Airlines.

    I flew with Pacific Airlines in July 2023, and compare to my flight, yours seemed to be on the better side. First, I got a 2-hour delay. Secondly, FAs on my flight sat throughout the flight; they only appeared to sell food and souvenirs. They seemed to be unprofessional and not well-trained, or it's because they didn't enjoy their job. And the pilot on my flight really woke everyone up with such a hard landing; the strongest I've ever experienced.

      I agree with your opinion about Pacific Airlines. They consider themselves a LCC, but the price is usually just a little cheaper than Vietnam Airlines, and much more expensive than VJ, VU, and sometimes QH, while the service is even not as good as QH, or even VU

    When I flew Vietjet, Airbus A321 at the end of May from Bangkok to Ho Chi Minh on a 1 and a half hour flight, we park at the remote gate, even though my flight is international and take the bus to the terminal, which is interesting. Vietnam's low cost airline on a narrow body jet always park at the remote gate, whether it's domestic or international.

    • @Aviation763
      @Aviation763  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Yeah, there’s sooo many remote gates at SGN. Thanks for sharing!

    I enjoyed your airline history summary; very interesting. It would appear that with a limited appeal hard product, they are putting far too little effort into the service aspects. Management issues one suspects

    Look mate, you seem like a good kid, just be careful out there traveling by yourself. I'm 14 myself, and I know what's out there, stay safe mate, everywhere you go. I'm flying by my own soon, but just protect yourself.

    • @Aviation763
      @Aviation763  Před 4 měsíci +2

      Thank you for your concern. I’ll be sure to continue to be careful. I only travel alone in Australia, I was with family on this flight.

    I have a bad history with Jetstar in 2022 I was to fly Cairns to Bali on Jetstar, they cancelled it due to pilot falling sick.
    In 2023 December I was to fly Pacific airlines (ex Jetstar) from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City they cancelled it again and they rebooked me into a Vietnam Airlines Boeing 787 Dreamliner which I don't mind at all. So something tells me I should never fly Jetstar ever, so far I never flew on a Jetstar flight

    Can You Please Fly Phil Air Again But Not The Bad Fleet The Good Ones! The A350 Manila To New York City Pal's Best Fleet!

    • @Aviation763
      @Aviation763  Před 4 měsíci

      Yeah I’ve heard that’s their best. I will fly them again (hopefully on the A350) but k highly doubt it’ll be this year, for many reasons including there being many other airlines for me to try, but also just because I’ve been put off by my other flights and I’d like to see if they improve. Definitely at some point though!
