Flying business class to Vietnam
Vietnam has exactly one nonstop link to the United States, and that single fact should shape how you approach the whole booking. Vietnam Airlines flies San Francisco to Ho Chi Minh City four times a week on the Airbus A350, with a block time of fifteen hours and forty minutes. No other carrier operates the route without a stop, and no other US city has a nonstop at all.
For travelers on the West Coast that makes the decision simple. For everyone else the honest comparison is not nonstop against connecting. It is a domestic positioning flight plus the nonstop, weighed against a single one stop itinerary over Asia or the Gulf. The connecting option frequently wins on both price and cabin, which surprises people who anchor on the word nonstop without doing the arithmetic.

Vietnam business class FAQs
Only Vietnam Airlines, from San Francisco to Ho Chi Minh City, four times weekly on the Airbus A350. No other US city has a nonstop to Vietnam.
Not from outside the West Coast. Compare a domestic positioning flight plus the nonstop against a single one stop itinerary over Asia or the Gulf; the connection is frequently cheaper and more comfortable.
Outside the holiday peaks. Christmas, New Year and Tet are the expensive windows, and Tet moves between late January and mid February. The wet months in the south carry the lowest fares.
Tet is the Vietnamese lunar new year and the country effectively closes for a week. Domestic flights sell out and fares climb sharply. Avoid it for business travel; for a cultural trip, book several months ahead.

The connecting field into Vietnam is unusually deep. Korean Air over Seoul, Cathay Pacific over Hong Kong, Singapore Airlines over Changi, EVA Air over Taipei and the Japanese carriers over Tokyo all reach the country with a short second leg. From the East Coast, Qatar Airways over Doha and Emirates over Dubai put a materially stronger cabin on the long sector than anything else serving Vietnam. With only four weekly nonstops, premium inventory on the direct routing tightens quickly, and those hubs are where the value moves when it does.
The weather splits the country in two, so a single national rule does not work. In the south the dry season runs December through April; in the north the pattern shifts and the far north can be genuinely cold in January. Fares, however, follow the holiday calendar more than the local climate. The peaks are Christmas, New Year and Tet, the lunar new year, which moves between late January and mid February.
Tet is worth planning around deliberately rather than discovering by accident. The country effectively closes for a week: domestic flights sell out, fares climb steeply and much of the commercial district in the major cities shuts down. For a business trip it is the window to avoid outright. For a cultural one it is extraordinary, provided you book several months ahead and accept the premium.
A final note on the long sector. Fifteen hours and forty minutes is long enough that the cabin decides how the first day on the ground goes, and Vietnam Airlines flies a competent flat bed rather than a headline product. If the trip has a working obligation at the other end, comparing that cabin honestly against a Qsuite or a Singapore Airlines routing is worth the twenty minutes it takes.
