TL;DR
Seat selection at Cam Ranh Airport varies by flight and tour operator — sometimes seats are assigned randomly, but you can often choose at the airport or through your guide, sometimes for an extra fee.
On Nord Wind flights, seat selection could be purchased online in advance, but the 'buy seat' option disappeared right before departure — so seat selection is only reliably available if bought early via the airline's site/app.
Travel agents may claim no seats are available for selection, but at airport check-in there are often free seats to choose from. It's worth trying to pick your seat directly at the check-in counter.
Airport staff sometimes approach passengers in the check-in queue offering seat selection — you can step out of line, pick your seat, and check in immediately without waiting.
On some flights (e.g. in February) there is no seat selection at departure — you get whatever seat is assigned. On the return flight, the tour guide offered seat selection and extra baggage for an additional fee.
