Vietnam Airlines International Flight Cancelled
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that my flight from HCM to SFO in July was just cancelled due to "force majeure." (language used in Vietnam Airlines email). Wanted to share so others with summer travel or making plans can plan accordingly; I have a feeling other international flights will be cancelled as well.

EDIT: 5/11 at 5:07pm — I called the airline and it looks like only my seat is cancelled; not the flight. I had heard a lot of speculation about flights to VN being cancelled so panicked and bought a different flight home. Then I called them to ask about my refund for flight cancellation and they said my flight is not cancelled, only the seat number has been changed. Here is the wording of the email.
“RESERVED SEAT NUMBER for you and your companion, code XXXXX, on flight VN XXX dated 19JUL has been cancelled due to force majeure. Vietnam Airlines sincerely apologizes for the inconvenience. Please contact your ticketing office or call 19001100 for assistance.”
