Nice! Do they really use a 777 to go from Saigon to Hanoi? How far is it?

Invercargill - Auckland would be the length.

There are quite a few people that fly between the destinations also reposition flights

Also they were taxiing fast because taxiing at 20knots its a three - five minute journey to the terminal from the end of the runway.
