TL;DR
There is real risk: VietJet frequently delays flights, and a 12:30 departure from Nha Trang with a 19:45 international flight from Hanoi leaves very little buffer. Weather delays are common.
Booking a VietJet flight from Nha Trang to Hanoi at 12:30 with an international departure at 19:45 is considered very risky. The airline frequently delays flights, and a 2–3 hour delay could cause you to miss your connection.
Flight delays at Cam Ranh Airport (Nha Trang) due to weather are not uncommon. Flights to Moscow, for example, have been delayed by 2.5 hours due to weather at the destination. Factor this in when planning connections.
Check-in for international flights at Cam Ranh Airport typically opens 3 hours before departure. It is recommended to arrive at the airport at least 2.5–3 hours before your flight, especially for flights to Russia.
