CONCLUSION

Another excellent flight aboard Asiana Airlines, I have to say! The service was impeccable and the food tasted amazingly great. The staff were very friendly offering hot towels as soon as we were seated. The blankets and headphones were already on the seat when we came to the cabin. Although we took off about 5 minutes late due to late arrival of other passengers (probably connecting), we still managed to arrive on time in Saigon. To the staff of Asiana flight 731, thanks very much 😉
