What are the procedures for transferring flights at Ho Chi Minh airport if my baggage is not checked through?

Alan ******

Unless you are in transit you need to exit pick up your bag off the carousal and reenter. You should remain in transit if you are with the same carrier right through to SUVARNABHUMI. Ask someone if you are not certain.
