What it costs and what fits

Fee: Charged as oversized baggage at the pre-booked weight rate, or at the (higher) airport rate if not pre-booked;
the exact cash fee is route-dependent and not published as a flat table.

Max weight: 32 kg
Max L+W+H: 203 cm
Pieces: multiple pieces allowed if combined weight is within the pre-booked/airport-rate allowance; each piece capped at 32kg

Pre-booking: Pre-booking required
Booked ahead: Yes - pre-booking online guarantees hold space and locks in the lower pre-booked weight rate versus the airport walk-up rate
Filed as: No dedicated kite/kiteboard line.
Vietjet's oversized/'Sports Equipment' category explicitly names Golf Set, Surfboard, Bicycle, Scuba Diving, and Ski/Snowboard;
a kite quiver would be declared under 'Surfboard' since that is the closest matching category and requires a 'recognized surfboard bag'.

3 points

Pack kite gear in a proper board/coffin bag and declare it as 'Surfboard' sports equipment, since Vietjet has no separate kite category
Pre-book the sports equipment weight online rather than arriving undeclared - risk of gate refusal or a higher walk-up oversize charge is repeatedly flagged by travellers
Keep each piece at or under 32kg and total linear dimensions at or under 203cm to stay in the standard sports-equipment tier rather than being bumped to general oversize handling

1 report

Showing up with an undeclared surfboard or kite bag on Vietjet 'can mean refusal at the gate or a premium airport charge', and the fees 'vary by route and change without notice'.
