Does Vietnam Airlines strictly enforce carry-on baggage size limits?
Based on 3 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: 23 days ago
TL;DR
Vietnam Airlines may check carry-on dimensions using a size gauge. Even 1 cm over the limit can cause issues — always measure your bag including wheels before flying.
What the community said
When choosing a carry-on bag, always measure the full dimensions including wheels and handles. Most standard mid-size suitcases exceed airline limits once all protruding parts are included.

Enforcement of carry-on size rules on Vietnam Airlines varies by flight and staff, but the risk is real — agents may use a size gauge, and an oversized bag could be checked at extra cost.
