Vietnam Airlines business class anyone?

[Violet Club]

Is there anyone out there who has recent experience of business class in Vietnam Airlines (777)?

Specifically, I was wondering if they have proper lie-flat seats or the more usual tilt-and-slide-down efforts?

Thanks for that – but seen it all already and it doesn't answer the specific question. That's why I'm hoping for someone with first-hand experience.

I have a friend who needs to go to Hanoi on business but has back problems, so a flat seat is fairly important. Of course, the answer is go fly with Air France but she wanted to know about VN and so...

The seats on the 777 are last generation C i.e. not flat but they are comfortable and I've slept in them for several hours at a time. Service on board VN is usually very good and there are larger numbers of crew than you might normally see as of course everyone in Vietnam has to have a job. I can't remember how many there were on a 777 but 15 on an A321 is not unusual!
