Vietnam Airlines recommends that passengers book and issue tickets early, especially on domestic and international routes with high demand, through official channels such as the airline's website, mobile application, ticket offices or agents.

Passengers are also encouraged to check in online before their flight via the website, mobile application, at airport kiosks within 24 hours before departure or through the “Airline Services” feature integrated on the VNeID level 2 electronic identification application. For passengers without checked baggage and having completed the procedures, they can go straight to the security screening area without going through the check-in counter, saving time and shortening the check-in process at the airport.
