Do I need to collect baggage and re-check-in for a layover in Ho Chi Minh City on a multi-airline connecting flight?

TL;DR
If your connecting flight legs are booked under separate airline codes (even with one Trip.com order), you'll likely need to collect baggage and re-check-in in Ho Chi Minh City — check your booking details in advance.
What the community said
Even with a single order number (e.g. via Trip.com), if airline booking codes differ, baggage usually isn't checked through to the final destination — your booking may explicitly state baggage claim and re-check-in in Ho Chi Minh City.

At check-in, ask specifically for a baggage tag rather than full re-check-in service — this speeds things up, as your bag comes out on the belt first, saving up to 30 minutes during a tight connection.

Even with a single-airline connection, sometimes you'll still need to collect baggage and re-check-in — always verify the specific rules for your flight instead of assuming a general policy.
