Nesma Airlines baggage allowance for flights to Egypt: can I pack snorkeling gear?

On one Nesma flight, the allowance was 13 kg, and a suitcase with a mask, fins and snorkel came to about 5 kg. That can leave room for other items, but the limit depends on the fare and flight.

Nesma’s baggage allowance can be as low as 10 kg; other travelers reported a 15 kg cap rather than the more familiar 23 kg. Check the conditions in your booking or with the tour operator before paying for extra baggage.

With a tight baggage limit, take one mask for two people and snorkel in turns to save space. Also check the route before departure: one Nesma itinerary had a refueling stop in Georgia, extending the journey from roughly 5.5 to 8 hours; no meal was provided and water was limited to 0.5 L per passenger.
