How strict is baggage inspection and security screening at Cam Ranh Airport (Nha Trang)?

One passenger reported that an electronic cigarette was confiscated on arrival at Cam Ranh. On departure, the device was scanned but staff did not raise any issue.

One traveler reported that on their departure flight from Cam Ranh, all hand luggage was actually run through the scanner, and many passengers were pulled aside afterward for additional checks — noting it seems to depend on the flight, hit or miss.

Passengers on a VietJet flight said their luggage wasn't checked at all upon arrival in Cam Ranh; they weren't sure yet what to expect on the return flight.

At departure (about 2 weeks before the message), neither hand luggage/backpacks nor checked bags were weighed at check-in.

For a flight on July 15, online check-in wasn't available — passengers had to check in at the airport counter. One traveler got lucky with an emergency-exit seat with a broken armrest.

At Cam Ranh Airport, after passport control and baggage claim, the customs check is fairly formal: passengers just put their suitcases on the scanner belt and walk through.

One traveler doesn't recall any bag checks at all — didn't notice a single scanner after passport control on the way out of the terminal.
