Baggage

General Information

Baggage

Vietnam Airlines applies the piece concept for baggage allowance on all domestic and international flights. Accordingly, free baggage allowance is determined by the number of pieces of luggage. 

Note:

  • Passengers who have already purchased tickets before August 1st, 2019 are still eligible for the checked baggage shown on their tickets.
  • Any item that exceeds weight and/or maximum size (width + height + depth) required by Vietnam Airlines may be re-packed, charged with an excess baggage fee, sent as cargo, or rejected.
  • In addition, we recommend that each piece of your checked baggage not exceed 32kg to avoid injury to porters, especially for customers traveling to and from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and the United Kingdom. This is in accordance with local occupational safety rules.
  • The free baggage allowance might vary for different carriers. Please consider this rule in case passengers are connecting to/from another carriers or taking any Vietnam Airlines' codeshare flights operated by other airlines.
