How much do you pay for extra kg baggage?

That Extra Kilo: Understanding Excess Baggage Fees

Traveling light is ideal, but sometimes life (or souvenirs!) get in the way. Understanding excess baggage fees is crucial for budgeting your trip and avoiding unexpected costs at the airport. This article clarifies our baggage policy regarding those extra kilograms you might be carrying.

Domestic Flights within Vietnam:

For domestic flights within Vietnam, the charge for oversized or overweight items is standardized. Each oversized item will incur a fee of 800,000 Vietnamese Dong (VND). Please note that "oversized" refers to items exceeding the permitted dimensions specified in our baggage allowance guidelines – these guidelines are available on our website and should be reviewed before your journey.

International Flights: A Zone-Based Approach

International travel involves a more nuanced approach to excess baggage fees. Rather than a flat rate, we utilize a zone-based system, meaning the cost varies based on your origin and destination airports. The specific charges depend entirely on which zone your flight falls into. To determine the exact cost for your specific route, please consult our comprehensive zone chart. This chart is readily available on our website under the "Baggage" or "Fees" section – look for the "International Excess Baggage Rates" link. This chart provides a detailed breakdown of costs per kilogram or per piece, depending on the zone and the type of excess baggage.

Proactive Planning is Key

Avoid surprises at the airport by carefully checking your baggage allowance before your flight. Weigh your luggage beforehand and pack strategically. If you anticipate exceeding the permitted weight or size, pre-purchase additional baggage allowance online – this often results in lower costs than paying at the airport counter.

Remember to always refer to the most up-to-date information on our website, as pricing is subject to change. By proactively understanding our baggage policy, you can ensure a smooth and stress-free travel experience. Happy travels!
