Jump to postWow I don't realize that Vietjet took over some of these Air Asia X's A330s, and it is a real surprise that they offer real food and beverage in its SkyBoss cabin on these A330s.
The food looks better than Vietnam Airlines.

Thanks for an excellent inaugural trip report!
Just curious what kind of gift bag did they hand out during your arrival in Changi? I presume it is a more "Singapore" based tourist gift bag than an Air Premia-themed gift bag.
Thanks again for sharing!
