Do you need to collect and recheck baggage in Hanoi on a Moscow to Da Nang flight via Vietnam Airlines?
Based on 1 discussions with 2 participants · Last activity: 6 days ago
TL;DR
It depends on the ticket type. With a single booking reference (Moscow–Hanoi–Da Nang), baggage may be checked through, but in practice passengers are often required to collect and recheck bags in Hanoi. Confirm directly with Vietnam Airlines before flying.
What the community said
With a single booking reference covering the full Moscow–Hanoi–Da Nang itinerary, baggage should theoretically be checked through to Da Nang. However, it is worth confirming with Vietnam Airlines in advance whether both boarding passes are issued at departure and whether immigration clearance is required in Hanoi.
1 day ago Vietnam Airlines — single ticket itinerary
If the ticket consists of separate segments rather than a single booking reference, passengers must clear immigration in Hanoi, collect their baggage, and check in again for the domestic leg to Da Nang. This requirement is stated in the ticket conditions and on the airline's website.
1 day ago Hanoi — transit with baggage reclaim
Some passengers who purchased a combined ticket with a flexible domestic connection (Moscow to Da Nang via Hanoi) report that even with a single ticket number, the terms still require collecting and rechecking baggage in Hanoi. It is strongly recommended to clarify this directly with Vietnam Airlines before departure.
