I have never been to SGN. How is its reputation as a transit airport, in terms of luggage loss? Jetstar & Vietnam Airlines seems to be different airlines, but they aren't really, because Jetstar Pacific is majority owned by the latter. I can't afford to lose my checked bags because my turnaround at DAD is only 2 days, after which I will fly back to JFK.
My travel date is coming up soon and I would like to ask for your wisdom. Thanks.
The is no more risk to lose you bag there than anywhere else.
But reading your story, I think that you are traveling on separate tickets ? In that case, you'll have to claim your bag in SGN and recheck in the domestic terminal. Jetstar being a LCC, it is usually not possible to cross-check a bag with another carrier. If you are on separate tickets, schedule at least 3 hrs between the 2 flights.
