TL;DR
Travelers report that Trip.com works fine for booking flights to Nha Trang, as well as hotels, eSIMs, and tours. Many start planning well in advance, but flights are often not released for sale a full year ahead.
For flights to Nha Trang, Sichuan Airlines via Chengdu may be an option: one traveler paid 138,000 RUB for two round-trip tickets. For an overnight connection on the return journey, it may be possible to request a transit hotel.
One traveler shared a detailed cost breakdown for a trip fully booked via Trip.com: flights (5 legs including Nha Trang, with baggage) — about 90,000 RUB, two Nha Trang hotels (north and south, sea-view balconies) plus hotels in other cities — 66,000 RUB, travel insurance — 4,000 RUB, an 8-country eSIM — 1,300 RUB, and transfers — 5,000 RUB. The whole 22-day trip was planned and scheduled day-by-day in advance.
Travelers say Trip.com is a workable option for a Nha Trang trip: they successfully paid for flights, booked 3 hotels, and bought eSIMs for the whole family through the platform.
Some travelers start planning their next Nha Trang holiday while they are still on the current trip. In other words, watching fares and planning early is normal.
According to travelers, booking well ahead is common; many arrange their vacation in advance rather than waiting until right before departure.
There is a practical limit: flights to Nha Trang usually are not available a full year in advance because airlines have not opened those dates yet. The same often applies to hotels.
