Vietnam Airlines e tickets

Vietnam Airlines e-tickets available in June
Vietnam Airlines will officially sell e-tickets for its flights from June 1 this year under its commitment to the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
The airline currently offers e-tickets on a trial basis via a large number of its registered sales agents. Passengers can book tickets by calling Vietnam Airlines directly or through its booking offices and other authorised agencies.
Once the move to e-ticket sales is fully completed, the carrier will move on to a trial e-payment service.
A representative from the carrier’s northern office said, as of last December, all of its agents in the northern region have started selling e-tickets for local flights.
To book e-tickets, passengers must provide an ID card or passport and a contact telephone number in case the flight schedule is changed.
All foreign passengers must present their passports at Vietnam Airlines booking offices or authorised agencies when making reservation and purchasing e-tickets. They must also report their passport expiry date to the airline. (VNA)

They say "

“I can’t say what made me fall in love with Vietnam - that a woman’s voice can drug you; that everything is so intense. The colors, the taste, even the rain. Nothing like the filthy rain in London. They say whatever you’re looking for, you will find here. They say you come to Vietnam and you understand a lot in a few minutes, but the rest has got to be lived. The smell: that’s the first thing that hits you, promising everything in exchange for your soul. And the heat. Your shirt is straightaway a rag. You can hardly remember your name, or what you came to escape from. But at night, there’s a breeze. The river is beautiful. You could be forgiven for thinking there was no war; that the gunshots were fireworks; that only pleasure matters. A pipe of opium, or the touch of a girl who might tell you she loves you. And then, something happens, as you knew it would. And nothing can ever be the same again.”
― Graham Greene, The Quiet American

Tips on Travel to Vietnam

It's always warm in Southeast Asia apart from high mountains, so leave the heavy clothing at home. Cotton and breathable fabrics are always better than synthetics -- although cotton does wrinkle a lot when traveling! December through April is roughly the dry season in that region, although it can still rain a little. December is a good time to go in terms of temperature -- cooler than in the humid summertime. Either way, wearing more clothing (shirt sleeves and long pants) is always more respectful towards the Asian culture, especially when visiting temples and rural areas.
