What the community said
At Phu Quoc airport check-in, seat selection costs $30–50 and there's reportedly some room to negotiate. Baggage is screened at the counter for prohibited items including IQOS devices — staff find them reliably, so carry them in hand luggage and place them on the X-ray belt with your phone rather than packing in checked bags.
