Miss England is delighted to announce Vietnam Airlines as the official travel partner for reigning Miss England Grace Richardson’s journey to the 75th Miss World Festival in Vietnam.
As Grace prepares to represent England on one of the world’s most prestigious stages, she will be flying with Vietnam Airlines, Vietnam’s national carrier and one of Asia’s leading international airlines.
The partnership places Vietnam Airlines at the heart of Grace’s Miss World journey, providing the connection between England and the host nation as she embarks on the most important trip of her reign.
For UK travellers, Vietnam Airlines provides one of the most convenient ways to reach Vietnam, operating direct services from London Heathrow to both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. The airline currently offers up to seven direct flights per week from the UK to Vietnam, making it easier than ever for British visitors to experience Vietnam’s rich culture, stunning landscapes and world-famous hospitality. Vietnam Airlines is also the only airline currently offering direct flights from London Heathrow to both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
The 75th Miss World Festival will bring together contestants from more than 100 countries for a month-long celebration of culture, charity, talent and international friendship. As the host nation welcomes the world, Vietnam Airlines will play a vital role in connecting visitors with Vietnam and showcasing the country’s renowned hospitality from the moment they board.
As Vietnam prepares to welcome contestants, media and visitors from around the world for the 75th Miss World Festival, Vietnam Airlines continues to strengthen the links between the UK and Vietnam. The airline’s direct services from London Heathrow provide a seamless gateway for travellers heading to the host nation. As Vietnam’s national carrier, Vietnam Airlines plays an important role in promoting tourism, cultural exchange and international connectivity, helping showcase Vietnam to millions of visitors from around the globe.
For Miss England, partnering with Vietnam Airlines is a natural fit. The airline has become synonymous with Vietnamese hospitality, world-class service and connecting international travellers to one of Asia’s most exciting destinations.
Grace Richardson, a Performing Arts student from Leicester who was crowned Miss England in November 2025, will travel to Vietnam later this summer as she begins her Miss World adventure.
Throughout her reign, Grace has represented England at numerous events, championed her environmental campaign Every Drop Counts, and participated in humanitarian projects both in the UK and overseas. Earlier this year she travelled to India on a humanitarian mission visiting schools, orphanages and community projects, further strengthening her commitment to the Miss World philosophy of Beauty With a Purpose.
Now her focus turns to Miss World, where she will proudly represent England on the global stage while experiencing the culture and hospitality of Vietnam firsthand.
Grace Richardson said:
“I am absolutely thrilled that Vietnam Airlines is supporting my journey to Miss World. Travelling to Vietnam is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and knowing that I will be flying with Vietnam’s national airline makes it even more special. Vietnam Airlines has an excellent reputation for hospitality and customer service, and I can’t wait to begin my Miss World adventure with them.”
Vietnam Airlines has built an international reputation for exceptional service, modern aircraft and outstanding hospitality. As the flag carrier of Vietnam, the airline serves destinations across Asia, Europe and beyond, acting as an ambassador for Vietnamese culture and welcoming visitors from around the world.
The partnership also highlights the growing international profile of both Miss World and Vietnam as a host destination. Contestants, organisers, media and supporters from across the globe will travel to Vietnam for the festival, many arriving through the extensive international network operated by Vietnam Airlines.
Miss England Director Angie Beasley said:
“We are incredibly proud to welcome Vietnam Airlines as an official partner of Miss England. As the national carrier of our Miss World host nation, Vietnam Airlines is the perfect partner for Grace’s journey to the competition. Their reputation for excellence, professionalism and hospitality reflects the values of Miss World, and we are delighted to have their support as Grace travels to represent England.”
Vietnam Airlines’ support extends beyond simply providing transport. The partnership symbolises the beginning of Grace’s Miss World experience and reflects the airline’s commitment to supporting international cultural exchange and showcasing Vietnam to the world.
Over the coming weeks, Miss England followers will be able to follow Grace’s preparations, departure and experiences in Vietnam through exclusive content across the Miss England website and social media channels.
Miss England would like to thank Vietnam Airlines for their generous support and looks forward to working together to celebrate both Grace’s participation in Miss World and Vietnam’s role as host of the landmark 75th Miss World Festival.
