[Video] Inside Vietnam Airlines' Sexy New 787-9 Dreamliners

Vietnam Railways isn’t the only Vietnamese transportation company upping their standards. In an effort to compete at the highest levels of international air travel, Vietnam Airlines has plans to buy 28 of Boeing's newest planes, the 787-9 Dreamliner.

Each plane can carry up to 280 passengers and has a range of 15,400km, allowing the state-owned airline to theoretically offer direct flights to pretty much anywhere in the world other than South America.

The first of the Dreamliners is scheduled to be delivered this year and would coincide with Vietnam Airlines' plan to offer direct flights to the United States which Boeing is helping to push through. 

The amenities of business class would seemingly make a 15-hour flight a pleasure to endure (beds!) and premium economy doesn’t look too shabby either.
