What is checked baggage? Regulations on checked baggage at Vietjet

Unlike hand luggage, you will not be able to bring checked baggage directly into the aircraft cabin. However, luggage types also have certain regulations. Let's join HoaBinh Airlines to find out detailed information about checked baggage in the following article.

Find out what checked baggage is

Checked baggage can be understood as luggage that travels on the same flight as you but is kept in a separate baggage compartment, and you will get it back after arriving.

Vietjet deploys 4 different airline ticket classes: Eco, Deluxe, Skyboss, and Skyboss Business. Each airline ticket class has separate checked baggage facilities:

With Eco ticket class, you get 7kg of carry-on baggage for free; however, if you have checked baggage, you have to pay an additional fee.
For the Deluxe ticket class, you will receive 20kg of free checked baggage for flights under 7 hours and 40 kg of checked baggage for international flights over 7 hours.
Skyboss ticket class gets 30 kg of checked baggage and 1 set of golf equipment not exceeding 15kg (if any) for flights under 7 hours and 50 kg of checked baggage for international flights over 7 hours.
Especially with Skyboss Business, you will receive free 40 kg checked baggage and 1 set of golf equipment not exceeding 15kg (if any) for flights under 7 hours and 60 kg checked baggage for international flights over 7 hours.

Does checked baggage cost anything?

The cost of checked baggage will depend on the ticket class you choose. Specifically, on each Vietjet Eco class flight, you are allowed to carry no more than 7kg of hand luggage for free, so to bring checked baggage, you will have to pay an additional fee.
