• In all cases you'll need identification. How much? This depends on where you're traveling to and from. When reserving your tickets, you are encouraged to use the same name, gender and birth date as indicated on your government-issued ID.
• Bring some extra entertainment for your long trip to Ho Chi Minh City. If you've had enough of watching movies, give your eyes a much-needed break from all that screen time and listen to some music instead.
• Temperatures in the cabin can go from hot to cold quickly, so it's best to dress in layers. Also consider wearing compression socks. They can help prevent blood clots and improve circulation in your legs.

If you think a first or business-class ticket is beyond your reach, think again. Here are just a few tips to help you score a premium flight to Ho Chi Minh City for a whole lot less:

• Flexibility is important. By being open to a few travel dates, you'll have more chances of picking up a deal on your airfares.
• Search for a low-cost airline that has seats in business class. They usually come with more space and a glass of bubbly — but without the high price.
• Bid for an upgrade in online auctions (if available) or upgrade through your flight loyalty scheme.
