Or is there some regulatory reason that VN can't sell A-C as one PNR? That regulatory reason could also prevent them from checking a bag all the way through on the two PNR's.
Both are domestic legs within Vietnam (Hue-HCMC-PhuQuoc) and I can't find anything about MCT times for VN, but those in the Asia sub-form assured that 80 is plenty of time, especially with just carry on.
The issue just stems from me going to VN's website and if I enter my starting city as Hue, it won't allow me to enter PQC as the destination, so I'd need separate tickets
