Anyone know which cities in 'north' Asia have direct flights into Vietnam with the OneWorld alliance, so Avios can be used?
For example, I can find Hong Kong to HAN on Dragon Air for 9k rt + $70 of fees.

Any other ideas from Korea, Japan, China...?

Don't forget to arrange a visa.

From Japan obviously you have JAL.

Shouldn't this be in the restaurant thread

Though seriously; if you're traveling to Nam I don't think you have too many options....

Other choice is to bring...

Haven't been there but I find it hard to imagine that it would be soooo bad that you have to shlepp food from the US.

I spent a few months there couple of years ago I would be more than happy to answer any question about Vietnam

Was the meal full of tourists or business men?

Thinking about going to SGN, any tips?

Hmm...Burn Jetsetter credit for 2 nights here with a private pool, but be a 25 minute taxi to the chabad house: http://www.jetsetter.com/hotels/vietnam/ho-chi-minh-city/2777/an-lam-saigon-river?nm=serplist&cl=2&ca=view-more

Or use 2 Hyatt anniversary certs here and be walking distance to chabad?

I would take the PH

Pics of that 'hotel' look like they are overrating the place.

Just make sure you get to NZ before moish

Forgot to say, both are rated #1 on TR:

Does that change anything?

Don't have the time to do NZ. Thinking of 3 nights in SIN and 2 nights anywhere nearby with kosher food, which is why SGN came to mind. Have a better suggestion?
