Vietnam usually has a dozen storms every year from June through the end of November, and most of which occur in the Central and northern provinces.

In an effort to attract more passengers, airlines are now providing frequent travelers with services that rival those of first-rate restaurants and hotels. The routine privileges most companies offer first-class and business clientele include express check-in, free drinks and headsets and more refined menus. In addition, a growing number of airlines have amenities such as fully reclining sleeper seats and furnish eye-shades and sleeper socks. At some international airports, companies have established membership lounges that allow business travelers the use of fax machines, personal computers, and private conference rooms.
