Cabin bag size, checked allowance and excess fees for Vietnam Airlines and Singapore Airlines side by side — both from the airlines' official policies, checked 30 October 2026.
Vietnam Airlines
- Cabin bag: Free hand baggage up to 12 kg stated on Vietnam Airlines official route pages; Premium/Business carry-on total up to 18 kg stated on official route pages
- Cabin weight: 12.0 kg
- Checked (Economy (domestic)): 1 piece of 23 kg
- Overweight: If checked baggage exceeds weight/size standards, passenger must repack or pay excess baggage at airport or transport as cargo (amounts via Baggage Calculator, not listed on page read)
Singapore Airlines
- Cabin bag: Suites/First/Business: 2 pieces, up to 7kg each, sum of L+W+H per piece max 115cm. Premium Economy/Economy: 1 piece, up to 7kg, max 115cm total dimensions
- Cabin weight: 7.0 kg
- Checked (Economy Lite (weight concept, non-US)): 25kg total
The short verdict
Cabin weight: Vietnam Airlines allows more cabin weight (12.0 kg vs 7.0 kg).
Both airlines count baggage differently across fares, so compare the checked tables before you book the cheaper ticket: a fare with no bag included can end up costing more.
