Domestic Flight Baggage (Included in Tour Package)
We will take two domestic flight together during the tour.
Your tour package includes:
✔ 1 checked baggage (23 kg / 50 lbs)
✔ 1 carry-on (7 kg / 15 lbs)
These baggage limits apply to both Vietnam Airlines and VietJet Air standard fare classes, which we will handle on your behalf.
Packing Reminder
Because we move frequently — from the North to Central Vietnam to the South, we strongly encourage:
Pack lightly
Aim for 1 checked bag + 1 carry-on only
Bring clothing that layers easily
Leave extra room for items you may collect along the way
Light luggage makes transitions smoother and keeps the journey comfortable for everyone. There will be time to do laundry during the tour.
