Before choosing a seat
Is this your Vietnam Airlines configuration?
Match these clues against the seat selector in your airline booking or manage-booking screen. Aircraft names alone are not enough because one airline can fly several cabin layouts of the same type.
- Configuration label: 29J / 45W / 231Y
- 305 seats total
- Cabin split: 29J · 45W · 231Y
- Seat selector spans rows 1–43
