TL;DR
Chinese airlines fly to Nha Trang with a connection via Shanghai or Ho Chi Minh City; at security you must remove all electronics (phones, tablets) and place them separately on the belt.
A traveler confirmed flying with a Chinese airline was smooth, but all electronics had to be taken out of the bag and placed separately on the security belt — so if you're carrying a gift like a phone, wrap it beforehand so the recipient doesn't see it early. She was happy with the airline and now recommends it to others.
Another traveler is flying to Nha Trang on Chinese airlines with connections via Shanghai and Ho Chi Minh City, and asks in advance about mobile connectivity options (roaming vs local SIM) during the trip.
Chat members noted it's often easier to ask directly in a local Nha Trang travel chat than to navigate a Chinese airline or airport website, since flight and connection info isn't always clear in English or Russian.
