Vietnam Airlines is the flag carrier of Vietnam.

Founded in 1956 under the name Vietnam Civil Aviation, the airline was established as a state-owned enterprise in April 1989.

Vietnam Airlines is headquartered in Long Bien District, Hanoi, with hubs at Noi Bai International Airport and Tan Son Nhat International Airport.

The airline flies to 52 destinations in 17 countries, excluding codeshared services.

Skytrax (originally known as Inflight Research Services) is a United Kingdom-based consultancy which runs an airline and airport review and ranking site.

Skytrax conducts research for commercial airlines, as well as taking surveys from international travelers to rate cabin staff, airports, airlines, airline lounges, in-flight entertainment, on-board catering, and several other elements of air travel.

Apart from these evaluations, Skytrax has an airline forum where passengers give potential passengers insights and opinions about an airline.

The website also hosts flight reviews, flight checks, and satisfaction surveys.

Skytrax holds an annual World Airline Awards and World Airport Awards, as well as the ranking for airlines and airports.

A frequent-flyer program (FFP) is a loyalty program offered by an airline.

Many airlines have frequent-flyer programs designed to encourage airline customers enrolled in the program to accumulate points (also called miles, kilometers or segments) which may then be redeemed for air travel or other rewards.

Points earned under FFPs may be based on the class of fare, distance flown on that airline or its partners, or the amount paid.

There are other ways to earn points.

For example, in recent years, more points have been earned by using co-branded credit and debit cards than by air travel.

Another way to earn points is spending money at associated retail outlets, car hire companies, hotels or other associated businesses.

Points can be redeemed for air travel, other goods or services, or for increased benefits, such as travel class upgrades, airport lounge access, or priority bookings.
