Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam: The Jasmine Lounge at Tan Son Nhat airport, honestly reviewed

Inside the Jasmine Lounge at Tan Son Nhat airport in Ho Chi Minh City: an honest Priority Pass review of a busy, cramped two-storey lounge and its food.

One piece of Saigon is already filmed, and it's the part you'll want before you fly out.

If you're flying out of Saigon and wondering whether to bother with the Priority Pass lounge, this is what you're walking into. The Jasmine Lounge is spread over two storeys, with the entrance on the upper level looking down over one large open room below. On our visit it felt busy, crowded and cramped, noticeably more so than the other Vietnamese lounges we've filmed. The food is halal, but the selection and the quality let it down: only a handful of hot trays, the same dish repeated across two of them, and one tray close to empty before anyone came to refill it. We'd rather tell you that now than after you've swiped the card.
