In Asia, Titanium status costs roughly the same as an extra checked bag on a few flights.<\/p>\n

The Gold lounge access benefit is unclear on the Vietnam Airlines website. You will certainly have access to lounges operated by Vietnam Airlines, but it is unclear whether you have access to other lounges at the airline\u2019s outstations.<\/p>\n

The Platinum status is SkyTeam Elite Plus, which offers the most comprehensive alliance-wide benefits comparable to Star Alliance Gold and Oneworld Sapphire, including extra luggage allowance, SkyPriority benefits (check-in, security, and boarding), and lounge access on international itineraries.<\/p>\n

The hotel matches don’t include Vietnam Airlines Platinum status, which maps to SkyTeam Elite Plus. That grants alliance-wide lounge access on most flights (some domestic flights are excluded).<\/p>\n

Benefits Matrix:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

SkyTeam Member Airlines:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The SkyTeam Elite and Elite Plus benefits are valid on flights operated and marketed by alliance partners.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n

The airline match that Vietnam Airlines has offered has been quite popular, as it allows matches all the way to the SkyTeam Elite Plus level, which grants lounge access on all alliance airlines, excluding some domestic flights.<\/p>\n

The Titanium and Gold are SkyTeam Elite membership that allows members to check extra luggage on all alliance airlines (this could otherwise cost quite a bit), and some priority service, but no lounge access outside of Vietnam Airlines.<\/p>\n
