Can you bring fruits in carry-on luggage on a flight from Nha Trang (Cam Ranh Airport)?

On flights to China, fruit baskets may be confiscated at boarding if you already have other carry-on items: at Cam Ranh, passengers were reportedly forced to throw away fruit baskets when they had additional cabin baggage.

A traveler brought a 7 kg fruit basket as carry-on — no weighing at the gate. A 2.2 kg baggage overweight also went unchecked. To avoid questions, the basket was simply placed inside a regular bag.

Airlines may count a fruit basket as part of the carry-on allowance and refuse boarding with it. Always check with the airline directly — some travelers had to leave their fruit at the airport.

Packing fruits in food containers inside a tote bag worked without issues. Avoid checking fruits in the hold — there's no temperature control in the cargo compartment.

On Nordwind charter flights (Nha Trang–Moscow), extra baggage cannot be purchased — it's a charter. Carry-on weight is not always checked in practice, but officially a basket counts toward the limit. If denied, a fast-track pass sometimes helps.

Cam Ranh Airport staff generally do not weigh carry-on luggage — confirmed by multiple travelers. Red Wings airline also reportedly did not question fruit origins.
