Carry-on luggage must not exceed 7 kg (total dimensions of length, width, and height must not exceed 115 cm).
Checked baggage must not exceed 30 kg.

Before boarding, your luggage will always be weighed to check if it complies with the size regulations of each airline.

If the weight exceeds the allowed limit, passengers will be required to check in their carry-on luggage or will be fined.

In addition to the general regulations, you also need to pay attention to the checked baggage size regulations of each specific airline as follows:

a) Vietnam Airlines luggage regulations

According to the latest Vietnam Airlines regulations, you are allowed 20 kg of checked baggage and 7 kg of carry-on luggage with any fare type, except for Business Class, where you are allowed 30 kg of checked baggage and 7 kg of carry-on luggage.

The total dimensions (length + width + height) of checked baggage must not exceed 158 cm.

In addition, Vietnam Airlines recommends that the size of checked baggage for travel to the United States, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the United Kingdom, etc., must not exceed 32 kg. This is a special airline regulation, so please take note.

Before boarding, you can check the weight of your carry-on luggage at the carry-on luggage scale. This scale is located in the check-in area and at the boarding gate.

You can also purchase additional carry-on luggage allowance at the check-in counters to facilitate shipping if the weight exceeds the regulations.

To avoid having goods that are not allowed on airplanes shipped or even returned, wasting a lot of your time, you must pay attention to the following:

All airlines refuse to transport items with strong odors, such as durian and jackfruit…
Bulky items that take up a lot of space on the aircraft are restricted.
Items listed as restricted include liquids such as perfume, alcoholic beverages, etc. If you want to transport them, they must be packaged very carefully and securely. Alcoholic beverages must not exceed 5 liters, and perfume must not exceed 2 liters (each bottle of perfume must not exceed 500 ml).
Iron or sharp objects such as knives and swords, as well as valuable items, are also refused by airlines unless prior arrangements have been made with the relevant authorities.

1.3 How to package goods for air travel according to regulations

The quality of shipped goods depends heavily on how you package them. Below are some tips on how to package goods for air travel that you can refer to:

Packaging materials and cardboard boxes must ensure quality, especially hardness, durability, and good load-bearing capacity to minimize denting and damage during collisions during shipping.
For heavy items, thick cardboard boxes or specialized cardboard boxes designed specifically for the product should be used to ensure safety.
Liquid items such as perfume should be kept upright, packaged very carefully and securely, and may be wrapped in bubble wrap before being boxed.
Seal the goods with specialized adhesive tape to increase the safety and sturdiness of the product during shipping.
Sender and recipient information on the outside of the cardboard box should be provided fully and clearly to ensure smooth delivery and avoid lost or missing goods.

2. What size cardboard box should be used for air travel?

According to the latest airline regulations, the standard size of cardboard boxes for air travel is as follows:

For lightweight goods, the standard cardboard box size is: 50x40x40cm cardboard box
