Connecting at Hanoi Airport on the way to Tokyo

Jennifer6214 · 2026-02-04

Hi, I’m traveling from Paris to Tokyo with a connection in Hanoi. My layover isn’t long (1h45), so I’m a bit stressed about missing my second flight to Tokyo. So I have a couple of questions: 1) Will my luggage go straight through, or do I need to collect it? 2) Do I have to go through everything again (customs, security, etc.)?

Just to clarify, my Paris-Tokyo ticket is with Vietnam Airlines.

Thanks for your help!

Hi there,

Don’t worry! Hanoi isn’t a huge airport, so you’ve got plenty of time to make your connection—even enough to grab a bún bò if you want. ;)

Yes, your luggage will go straight through. And no, you won’t have to go through customs (assuming it’s all on the same ticket, of course).

Have a great trip!

Hi there,

No problem, your luggage will go straight to your final destination. You’ll get both boarding passes when you check in in Paris.
