With the long Tet holiday, the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam forecasts that the number of passengers at airports, especially Noi Bai and Tan Son Nhat International Airports, will increase, and at some times there may be local congestion at the domestic terminal. Therefore, passengers may receive their luggage slower than usual.

Therefore, the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam recommends that passengers proactively grasp flight information to have appropriate travel plans, and at the same time comply with regulations on aviation safety and security.
