Do I need to collect my luggage during a layover in Hanoi on a connecting flight to Cam Ranh (Nha Trang)?

TL;DR
It depends on ticket type: if Moscow–Hanoi–Cam Ranh is booked as one through itinerary with a single airline, your bags are checked straight through to Cam Ranh and there's no need to collect them in Hanoi. If it's two separate bookings (Moscow–Hanoi and then Hanoi–Cam Ranh), you must claim your luggage in Hanoi and re-check it for the next flight.

If your ticket is booked as a single through-itinerary Moscow–Hanoi–Cam Ranh with one airline, luggage is automatically transferred to the final destination — you don't need to collect it in Hanoi.

If the trip is split into two separate bookings — Moscow–Hanoi and a separate Hanoi–Cam Ranh flight (different reservations/airlines) — you must pick up your luggage at Hanoi airport and check it in again for the second flight.

The key difference is how the itinerary is booked: "Moscow–Hanoi, then Hanoi–Cam Ranh" as two separate tickets is not the same as "Moscow–Hanoi–Cam Ranh" as one through ticket. Check your own booking confirmation before the trip to know which case applies to you.
