Travel to Vietnam is a lot easier these days (I still remember back in 1988 when there was only Vietnam Airlines and Thai Airways are flying into Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City)!
Malaysia Airlines has recently added 2 more flights to its weekly route between Kuala Lumpur and Hanoi making the total of 9 flights a week. These new flights, together with the existing weekly filghts from Ho Chi Minh City, will provide you with more option to travel to Europe, South Sfrica and other destinations with a Malaysia Airlines’ stopover in Kuala Lumpur.
