臺北-巴黎搭越南航空 (過境越南兩大城市) - 法國

中英文圖文並茂文： http://wp.me/p32nS7-cG


As a uni student eagering to see the world, checking how much in the pocket kinda sadly decide her destination. In this case, it's not a sad story after all- thanks to Vietnam Airlines.
歐洲，好一個神秘又浪漫的地方。
何時我才能造訪呢？對於學生而言，出國旅行先要看一下口袋的深淺度，才能判斷要遠行的國度。（口憐啊～大哭～奔）我們不能氣餒，要想辦法！在網絡上搜尋後，最後決定訂越南航空！

Did a whole lot of research on the Internet about airlines flying to Europe, others reviews, checking rate of flight delay, and so on.
選擇航空的過程中，首先尋找哪些航空有飛歐洲，其它旅行者的經驗，飛行時間，轉機點，誤點狀況等等。

After all the research I chose Vietnam Airlines. Here are my reasons
1. Free 30 luggage allowance (the most in flying to Europe, actually I didn't realize it until I booked it)
2. STCP. Free tour in the city / resting in hotel upon your transit
3. Transfer in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City. * I chose to transfered in Hanoi on my way to Paris, and Ho Chi Minh City on the way back)
4. It's a big airlines, part of the SkyTeam Alliance, no worries folk!
5. Great deal of course and get to check out Vietnam!!! * It's said can even change route when coming back by adding a few thousand (TWD) to visit Cambodia or other places in Vietnam
最後選擇了越南航空，原因有以下：
1. 30公斤行李額度 （堪稱飛往歐洲最多的航空，這也是我在訂完機票之後發現的）
2. STCP. 免費過境一日遊/旅館休息.
3. 可選擇在河內或是胡志明市過境
* 我選擇去的時候在河內停留，回程在胡志明市，一次玩越南兩城市！
4. 知名航空，並且是在天合聯盟內
5. 當然是價格很優囉，還可以順道玩越南，何不呢？
* 話說回程時候可以再加幾張小朋友就可去越南其它地點，或是到柬埔寨遊玩

.
*** Another competive airline was Eastern China Airway, the reason for not choosing it is:
1. Taiwanese need visa for stopover
2. Shanghai has 2 airports. The airport from TPE-SGH and to SGH-CDG maybe different. It'll be a chaos when not knowing the way or stuck in traffic.
***除了越南航空之外，中國東方航空是另一個可考慮的航空，但最後沒被納進的原因如下：
1. 需要台胞證才能過境
2. 上海有兩座機場（虹橋&浦東）。從台北飛往上海，與上海飛往巴黎的班機有可能是在兩座不同機場。對於人身地不熟的人，以及途中若遇上塞車將會是旅行中的一大考驗。
.
In the end, I spent TWD28,150 (around USD 940) route trip Taipei-Paris, stopover in Vietnam.
最後呢，我花了TWD28,150(約USD940)來回台北-巴黎，過境越南。

.
Airplane food was good. Seat is big. Everyone craving for instant noodle back from France due to time difference.
飛機餐還不錯吃，座位很大很舒服。從巴黎飛回越南時，因為時差的關係，大家都很餓，機艙滿是泡麵味。

Food! Food! Vietnam food!
越南美食！美食！美食！

After tasting some great Vietnamese food in Paris, i feel 100% in love with it! There are great varieties of local Vietnamese food as there are many Vietnamese settled down in Paris, and many can't be found in Taiwan, so i was pretty surprised by the wide selection of it!
至從在巴黎吃到越南食物後整個就是愛上了！由於巴黎有很多殖民時期從越南前往法國找尋新生活的移民, 開了很多越南各地道地風情的料理, 也讓我吃到很多台灣越南餐廳沒有的料理.

My Vietnamese friend said food in Vietnam are all in small portion cos the the royal think can try out more food this way. Hehe, can eat more now
越南朋友說：越南食物的份量都很小份，因為古代皇室認為份量小可以多嘗鮮更多食物。 太有道理的一句話了～吃～吃～吃～

In sum, I recommend Vietnam Airlines from my own experience as it's said can even extend your trip to other parts of Vietnam or Cambodia with acceptable add up.
根據自己這一次飛行的經驗, 我很推薦越南航空, 實在是俗又大碗！且還可以額外加一些費用, 將旅程深入越南其他地區, 或柬埔寨.
