This didn't exactly go to plan...
Despite ruining me for a day, I would still give them another shot, I'll just avoid that lounge.

Flight Formula is fast becoming my favourite airline vlog. Love the dry sense of humour reserved for the audience. As well, I'm sure the host was glad he was flying short haul with his brewing condition. Nothing worse than food poisoning on a long haul flight. Ask me how I know...:(
YES YES YES waking up with a new video from FlightFormula is the best
The FA who served you pre-boarding tricks was so nice
Yeah 100%
Woah. Just discovering your channel and love it!!
Cheers!
I’ve legit watched all your videos on my 10 hour shift today 😅 I’m now hooked and can’t wait for you to post more 😂
Glad you like them!
keep up the videos! your set to be massive
Will do! 🫡
You are so underrated, wish the best for you in the future :)
Thank you very much!
“I just got tray-tabled” - I love you ❤
fresh haircut mybro 🔥
Cheers brother!
I'm going to subscribe to you. I hope that you'd do a quick coverage of hotel and what you experience about the destination you're in if that's cool to share or if it's not too much of a trouble in your other videos 🙏🏽.. you're cool!
Hope you are feeling better, mate! What I will tell you as someone who has had food poisoning (and even had it confirmed via laboratory tests in the hospital) is that food poisoning isn't instant. You don't just eat something and feel the effects within a few minutes or an hour. Generally it takes somewhere between 8 to 12 hours from when you ate the affected food to feel the symptoms of food poisoning. Could it be the lounge food? Potentially. But it could also have been the street food you had. This is one of the reasons why when I'm travelling to countries like Indonesia I'll eat at Macca's. Yes it is not the healthiest food out there, not by a country mile, but it won't get you sick simply because they must prepare the food to an exacting McDonalds standard that has food safety built in.
I have found for my delicate constitution, it takes 6 hrs from ingestion to severe cramps and hunt for the nearest crapper! :)
It was probably more likely the street food. And correct, it typically takes a few hours to kick in. I personally avoid the street food in these types of places. Sometimes it's not "food poising" per say, it's bacteria if your not local your body just isn't use to. The body is like WTF vs sick. That happens to me if I over indulge on fast food anymore since it's a rarefy now. Body is like what did you put in me.
@@johniii8147 that’s why McDonalds is your friend. Not the healthiest meal but it is prepared to very particular standards
That sucks, losing a couple of days of a trip to food poisoning. Makes me glad I stuck to boring Western food in Vietnam. So many places with meat sitting around in 35C+ weather!
Other than that, water is a potential concern - if they rinsed any salad or the pho broth was topped up with tap water.
Have flown this route in J many times, but always on an A321. Hard product very tired but soft is great. I also had a great experience recently flying SYD-SGN in J on a 787. Not a bad product and value for money could not be beat.
Always love a good Dreamliner review. If Santa grants my wish, I might have another flight on one on Christmas Day itself :)

Same thing happened to me at that exact lounge. 100% it was lounge. Saw flies in cut fruit dishes, spring rolls had flies on it, and the "hot" food was luke warm. The hygiene was not world class. I would avoid any food in lounge that is not steaming hot, commercially packaged or whole uncut fruit like bananas or oranges. The sad part is that its not the food, its the training and care that is lacking and Vietnam Airlines management does not seem to care. If hungry, its best to buy food outside and bring it into lounge.
Please do travel videos.. maybe review the hotels or places that you went. Cant get enough of your flight reviews + your dry sense of humor 🤣
Lol.. i think you're supposed to roll the rice noodle with the meat and veg as fillings.. Anyways I enjoy how you literally speak like what i imagined i sound like when i speak my mind 😂😂 And when you said "i think he's onto me.." really gets me! I was a flight attendant and when my passenger is taking his sweet time eating on a 1hr flight (cgk-sin), I'd do the same he does and I can expect the exact thoughts on passngers' mind😮😅 And i hope they're flattered..lol
Weird, I was at that HCMC checking desk just five hours ago.
Flew BC from Syd via HCMC. to LHR and return with VA and the staff food and airliners were outstanding. Trying to contact administration for any change to flights was dreadful (we had cancelled returned flights)
Vietnamese here. From my experience, the thing that is most likely to cause your food poisoning is the drink.
That actually makes sense if it's a street drink vs canned. You have to be extremely careful on what you drink if you're not local. Classic tip for such travel don't touch the water. Also have to be careful with uncooked fruit and vegies.
No telling where your food poising came from, but it was a lot more likely the street food and drink. It's almost always the water in places like that. The food didn't look great in the lounge but it was cooked. The overall experience for the carrier it self it what to expect on VN.
It struck me as a kinda odd experience though not without its positives. I feel for you in the aftermath of the dodgy food, but as you said, good or bad, nothing last forever!
R u Aussie? And that hotel seemed pretty nice aswell
I was seriously stressed watching you eat dinner knowing what is about to happen. Then you talked about the slop in the corner. OMG 😮
Lounge food is always sketchy
I am a frequent business class flyer and prefer to drink in the lounge eat on the plane
Thales is pronounced “ta-less” (the Ta sounding like Ta in tattoo) 😊
I am about 5'11" and sleep on my side. How would the leg room be for me?
A little tight around the feet but not too bad!
you 110% got food poisoning from the room temp bowls of food....why!!!
what a cutie 💖❤
People pay good money for that kinda weight loss I guess 🧐 awesome video though
Hahahaha fair point 😅
I suspect it was the dragon fruit. Too much dragon fruit can upset your stomach
I hope to see you fly and review on a return flight with Qatar Airways A350-1000 ultra long-haul. Maybe Auckland to Europe on QSuite and return on the economy. I can feel that they're gonna be a big hit !
Give their human rights issues, AVOID QR. Aussies are not happy with them these days.
Don’t say that 😡
Make me 😎
@@FlightFormula hi am your famous
While I appreciate your genuine and well-intentioned approach to reviewing this airline experience,, I couldn't help but notice a subtle undercurrent of passive-aggressiveness in your comments about certain in-flight products. This may not be your intention, but it does affect the overall tone of your review.
I suggest observing other airline CZcamsrs and incorporating elements of their presentation style into your own. This could help you maintain a more neutral and objective tone, allowing your genuine insights to shine through without any unintended negativity
bro what are you on about.
I disagree with that sentiment. Playing the piano over a song can add a new dimension to the music and create a unique listening experience. There are many examples of songs that have been successfully rearranged for piano, and I think it's a shame to close oneself off to the possibility of discovering new ways to enjoy music
