Baggage and Carry-on Rules in Vietnam: what actually matters to know
From real experience
caseFor Vietjet Air charter flights from Kazan to Nha Trang, luggage allowance information is inconsistent:
- Some sources state 1 piece of luggage per person without specified weight.
- One experience indicated 10 kg as standard, but this seems incorrect.
- Other travelers reported 20 kg per person or a combined allowance of 20 kg for two people (with one bag up to 27 kg accepted).
- A maximum individual checked baggage weight of 32 kg is generally applicable.
- Hand luggage allowance was reported as 7 kg in one instance.
It's advisable to confirm the exact weight limit with the airline or tour operator, as information varies.
Some suggest the airline determines the weight at baggage check-in.
