I was not given a choice of seat on the bus and was automatically given a seat in the middle isle. I with no window. Staff on the bus had two beds that were by the windows but only used them sporadically so it would have made sense for them to have the smaller units.

I booked domestic airplane but as a foreigner I thought terminal 1 as it's Ho Chi Minh to Danang. But I had to scramble to get to Terminal 3! Lucky I had ample time.

We booked 4 tickets together but when we got to the train we were split. Locals get better spots. But the toilets were kept clean. Food options were not great. We took water and snacks.
