Ashes & Remains

Bodies must not be transported as carry-on or checked baggage and can only be transported as cargo.

Ashes can be transported as carry-on or checked baggage.

Remains can only be transported as checked baggage under the condition that they are securely packed in hard cases to ensure that no break or smell happens during transportation. 

Notes: 

• This condition applies to itineraries containing a Vietnam Airlines segment. For multi-segment itineraries transported by different airlines, passengers need to contact and get confirmation from the airlines and related countries.
• Transportation of ashes and remains does not require a quarantine permit from the provincial or city health department or quarantine authorities.
