    Vietnam Airlines - now that's how you refund people - in less than 6 hours

    Took the family (5A + 1C) to Vietnam for a brilliant 8 day trip - Saigon, Hue and Hoi An. Booked Y+ for the overnight flight home, it was only $180 extra per seat. I was originally going to leave our lads in Y, however the "nice dad" genes kicked in! Anyhoo, while there we received an email...

    Life Time Gold - The [Realistic] Holy Grail
