Can I bring a baby stroller on board?
You can absolutely bring a baby stroller on board according to the complimentary baggage regulations. Specifically, domestic airlines such as Vietnam Airlines, Vietjet Air, Jetstar Pacific, and Bamboo Airways all offer free transportation of baby strollers on flights, regardless of ticket price, seat type, or baggage standards. Furthermore, they encourage parents to check in their baby strollers right from airport procedures.
However, if you're flying internationally, be cautious as not all airlines allow bringing baby strollers on board. For example, with AirAsia, baby strollers are strictly prohibited. Similarly, Malindo Air only permits passengers with business class tickets to bring strollers on board. Malaysia Airlines only allows the first and sole passenger on the flight to bring a baby stroller,... Therefore, when intending to bring this item on board, thoroughly research the regulations of the chosen airline for the most convenient journey.
