Do I need to collect and re-check my baggage in Hanoi when flying VietJet from Beijing to Nha Trang on a connecting itinerary?

TL;DR
On a Beijing–Hanoi–Nha Trang itinerary, a traveler had to collect their checked bag in Hanoi even though both flights were with VietJet. Do not assume baggage will be checked through: confirm at check-in in Beijing and allow time for immigration, baggage reclaim, and re-checking.
What the community said
On a VietJet Beijing–Hanoi–Nha Trang connection, the passenger had to reclaim checked baggage in Hanoi. Having the same carrier on both sectors did not guarantee through-checking to Nha Trang.

For this type of Hanoi connection, allow time not just to change flights but also to reclaim your suitcase, complete arrival formalities, and check it in again for Nha Trang.

Before leaving Beijing, ask VietJet staff to verify the final destination printed on the baggage tag. If the tag shows Hanoi only, collect the bag there rather than expecting it in Nha Trang.
