Looks good. However, based on my own experience with using kayak.co.uk a couple of months ago, I was unable to check-in online or change seat allocation with Air Canada as I hadn't made the reservation on their site; I also missed out on loyalty points. In future I will check these sites for best availability and then go to the airline site to make the booking. I don't know if the same applies here but its just something to keep in mind.
 
Its Vietnam Airlines I am using

Tried their own website and its brutal and then rang their london office and crazy prices. They told me that agents get better deals and to check this alternative webstie out.Also tried a Hong Kong agent, were I am flying from, and again crazy prices

Its cheaper to get a return flight from HK to HCM than to get a one way???

Vietnam airlines dont issue e-tickets so getting a paper ticket

May check out the Kayak website.

Thanks
 
Checked random dates for you on Kayak.co.uk ie SGN to HKG 14 Nov, returning 20 Nov.

Return price with United £128.00
One way with United £203!
One way with Vietnam Air £195.
 
Kayak one way is £191 and with Alternative its £137 per person

Travelling the 1st Jan, High season

This is with Vietnam ailrines as the United flight times dont suit
