2025 Vietjet Air Baggage Policy: 5 Key Highlights for a Hassle-Free Vietnam Trip
Vietjet Air, Vietnam’s leading low-cost carrier, is a popular choice for travelers exploring Vietnam and beyond in 2025. Known for its affordable fares and extensive route network, Vietjet operates from major hubs like Ho Chi Minh City’s Tan Son Nhat International Airport and Hanoi’s Noi Bai International Airport.
However, its low-cost model means strict baggage policies, and understanding these rules is crucial to avoid unexpected fees or delays. This comprehensive guide summarizes the 2025 Vietjet Air baggage regulations, highlighting five key points to help travelers pack smartly and enjoy a seamless journey.
Carry-On Baggage: Strict 7kg Limit and Size Restrictions
Vietjet Air allows each passenger (except infants) to bring one main carry-on item and one small personal item. The main carry-on must not exceed 7kg and should fit within 56cm x 36cm x 23cm, including handles and wheels. The small personal item, such as a handbag, camera, or duty-free shopping bag, must not exceed 30cm x 20cm x 10cm. Other items like jacket bags (up to 114cm x 60cm x 11cm) or laptop bags (up to 40cm x 30cm x 10cm) are also permitted.
SkyBoss class passengers may enjoy a higher weight limit of 10kg or 14kg, depending on the route. All carry-ons must fit in overhead bins or under the seat and require a Vietjet Air label, obtainable at check-in. Liquids, aerosols, and gels (LAGs) must comply with IATA standards: containers up to 100ml in a single 1-liter resealable transparent bag, presented separately at security. Prohibited items include weapons, sharp objects (e.g., knives with blades over 6cm), blunt objects (e.g., baseball bats), flammable substances, and explosives, ensuring cabin safety.
Checked Baggage: Pre-Book to Save Costs
Vietjet’s checked baggage allowance varies by fare class. Economy (Eco) tickets typically include no free allowance, requiring passengers to purchase baggage separately. Deluxe class may include 20kg, while SkyBoss tickets could offer 30kg or 50kg, depending on the route. Promotional fares occasionally provide extra allowances, such as 20kg free checked baggage for specific routes.
Single checked items must not exceed 32kg, with dimensions up to 119cm x 119cm x 81cm or a total of 203cm for standard baggage. Oversized baggage (up to 200cm x 119cm x 81cm) incurs additional fees. Overweight fees for Economy class baggage under 32kg are approximately $75 per piece, while exceeding 32kg may cost $300 and requires prior approval.
Oversized baggage exceeding 158cm but under 203cm costs around $150 per piece, and over 203cm may cost $300. Pre-booking baggage at least three hours before departure via Vietjet’s website or app can save up to 50% compared to airport rates. Shared allowances are permitted for passengers under the same booking, benefiting families or groups.
Power Banks: Carry-On Only with Strict Limits
Due to lithium battery safety concerns, Vietjet Air mandates that power banks be carried in hand luggage, with no use permitted during flights. Power banks must be easily accessible and visible. Passengers can carry up to 10 power banks with capacities below 100Wh (approximately 20,000mAh) or two units between 100Wh and 160Wh.
Power banks exceeding 160Wh are prohibited in both carry-on and checked baggage. These rules, updated in February 2025, emphasize compliance to prevent confiscation at security checkpoints. Other electronics like laptops and phones are allowed but should be powered off during flights.
Special Baggage: Tailored Rules for Sports, Music, and Families
Vietjet Air accommodates special baggage with specific guidelines. Sports equipment, such as surfboards, bicycles, or golf clubs, can be checked but requires proper packaging (e.g., deflated tires for bikes, protective bags for surfboards). Items within 203cm and 32kg may be treated as standard checked baggage; otherwise, oversized fees apply.
Electric bicycles may be prohibited, so pre-confirmation is advised. Small musical instruments (e.g., flutes) can be carried on if within 93cm x 39cm x 24cm, while larger instruments (e.g., cellos) require checking or an extra seat purchase (up to 136cm x 48cm x 44cm, 32kg). Hard cases are recommended for protection. Strollers, wheelchairs, and child safety seats are transported free of charge, either as carry-on (if within size limits) or checked baggage, easing travel for families.
Tet Festival Special: Cherry and Apricot Blossom Transport
During the 2025 Tet Festival (January 1 to February 15), Vietjet Air offers a unique service for domestic flights, allowing passengers to transport cherry or apricot blossoms, symbols of Vietnamese New Year. Each passenger is limited to one bundle, not exceeding 150cm x 40cm x 40cm, with a maximum of two branches per bundle. These must be properly packed and checked, costing 450,000 VND (excluding VAT) per bundle. This culturally significant service reflects Vietjet’s commitment to accommodating traditional travel needs during the festive season.
Additional Tips and Baggage Handling
To ensure a smooth experience, travelers should check Vietjet’s official website (www.vietjetair.com) for updates, as policies may change during peak seasons like Tet. Online check-in via the Vietjet app saves time, and early arrival (120 minutes for domestic, 180 minutes for international flights) is recommended. Label luggage with contact details to aid recovery if lost. In case of lost, damaged, or delayed baggage, report immediately at Vietjet’s airport counter with tickets and baggage tags. Unclaimed baggage may incur storage fees after 30 days or be disposed of after two months. Customs regulations of destination countries should also be reviewed to avoid prohibited items.
Conclusion
Mastering Vietjet Air’s 2025 baggage policies ensures a stress-free travel experience. From adhering to carry-on limits and pre-booking checked baggage to understanding power bank restrictions and special baggage rules, these guidelines help travelers avoid surprises. The Tet blossom transport service adds a cultural touch for festive travelers. Visit Vietjet’s official website or app for the latest details, and pack wisely for a smooth Vietnam adventure.
