Done it 5x this year, unfortunately!

It really gives people a bad image coming into a country that supposedly wants to increase tourism.
Apparently, VN does sell tickets combining their international codeshare partners' and their own domestic flights.

If ticketed on the same ticket, will a VN agent facilitate my transfer from my international arrival gate to connect to the domestic flight?
