It helped that I booked the flight a few months in advance in anticipation of the Tet lunar new year holiday in Vietnam. I booked for the 22nd, knowing that the new year was on the 25th. What I didn’t account for was that many others were already planning to leave early as well, so the airport was crazy busy. It turned out that January 22 (the day I went) was forecast to be the busiest day for Tet travel. In hindsight I would leave at least a week before Tet to avoid overcrowding.

Wow was a low cost airline from Iceland that went bankrupt, and this aircraft now has a second life in Vietnam.
VJ 825 usually departs at 9.25 & arrives in KUL at 12.25. I got an email a week before the flight that announced that the flight had moved to lớn 10.30. This happens a lot with VietJet Air, so don’t book with them if you have time-sensitive connections.
