TL;DR
Do not pack IQOS devices or lighters in checked luggage at Cam Ranh Airport — they will be flagged at security and cause delays. Keep them in your carry-on.
IQOS and similar electronic smoking devices must not go in checked luggage at Cam Ranh Airport. One traveler was pulled aside for a private inspection room check. The officer was lenient and allowed the device to be moved to a carry-on bag. Lighters in checked bags also trigger a security call.
Nordwind Airlines had a dedicated check-in lane for families with children under 12 at Cam Ranh Airport. The queue there was shorter than the fast-track lane, allowing faster passage to the departure zone.
Even if you are just transporting an IQOS device without using it, airport security at Cam Ranh will still flag it if found in checked luggage. The safest approach is to always carry such devices in your hand luggage.
