On flights between Vietnam and Switzerland, Singapore Airlines generally applies the piece concept for checked baggage. In Economy Class, you can usually check in at least one or two pieces of baggage, each within specified weight and size limits. Premium Economy Class typically allows additional or heavier pieces than Economy. Business Class and First Class usually enjoy higher checked baggage allowances, with more pieces or higher permitted weight per piece. For all cabin classes, cabin baggage is limited to a set number of pieces and size, with weight guidelines to ensure comfort and safety on board. Please refer to your ticket or our website for the exact allowance that applies to your booking.
