Luggage is a crucial part of every passenger’s flight experience. To ensure a smooth and enjoyable journey during Tết, it’s important to be familiar with your airline’s baggage policies and take note of some helpful tips provided by Mytour below.
What should you keep in mind about luggage when flying during the peak Tết season?
Understand your airline’s regulations for carry-on and checked luggage
Regardless of the airline you choose to fly with during Tết, it’s essential to thoroughly check and understand their baggage policies. While most airlines have similar weight and size limits for carry-on and checked luggage, each may have additional specific rules. Be sure to contact the airline directly or consult with your ticket agent or travel agency for detailed guidance. Remember, adhering to luggage guidelines is crucial for your flight experience, so don't overlook this matter.
Pack light but complete for your Tết trip
Before your flight, it’s advisable to write down a list of items you’ll need to pack for easier organization of your luggage. During Tet, in addition to your personal belongings, you’re likely to have other items like gifts for loved ones. If you’re celebrating Tet in the northern regions, you’ll need to bring heavier, bulkier winter clothing. Be mindful of these details to pack your suitcase more efficiently. However, always remember that the lighter and more compact your luggage is, the more convenient and flexible your flight will be.
Be cautious with restricted items and foods
There are several Tet-related items and foods that airlines typically restrict or advise against bringing on board, such as peach or apricot branches, decorative plants, and certain foods like candied fruits, dried beef, and especially odorous fruits like durian and jackfruit. Generally, if you plan to bring any unusual or special items, it’s best to contact the airline staff or the agency where you booked your ticket for detailed advice. This will help you avoid having to leave items behind at the airport, which can be a waste of time and may negatively affect your mood during the Tet flight season.
Do not attempt to carry prohibited items
If certain items are on the airline’s restricted list, you must strictly adhere to the rules and avoid packing them in your luggage. This could include flammable materials or sharp objects, all of which pose a risk to the safety of passengers during the flight. For items that are restricted but essential, such as needles, oxygen tanks, or medical medications, you should contact the airline to learn about the proper procedures and documentation required to bring them on board.
Arrive at the airport on time
During the peak Tet season, the airport will be crowded with passengers, many of whom will have additional luggage. As a result, the check-in counters will be overwhelmed. To avoid delays, it’s advisable to arrive at the airport well in advance. Airlines recommend arriving at least 2 hours before a domestic flight and 3 hours prior to an international flight. This will give you ample time to complete check-in procedures and address any unforeseen issues that may arise.
