Nesma Airlines baggage allowance for Hurghada flights: how much checked and cabin baggage is included, and what are excess baggage charges at the airport?

One Hurghada departure report described a bag that was 1 kg overweight: a person near the check-in counter signaled that it was acceptable, received USD 1 and asked for chocolate. This describes an informal incident, not a confirmed Nesma excess-baggage rate or a guaranteed fee waiver.

In the latest report about Nesma on the Hurghada route, travelers referred to an allowance of 15 kg checked baggage plus 5 kg cabin baggage. It is still worth checking your ticket conditions, but this was the baggage limit mentioned.

For a small parcel to Hurghada, courier shipping can be surprisingly expensive: for an item of around 300 g, travelers said quotes were nearly as high as a plane ticket. For urgent lightweight items, people sometimes look for someone flying in, because standard courier services may not be cost-effective.

At Hurghada airport, travelers were quoted about USD 8 per extra kilo for overweight baggage. If your bag is over the limit, it is safer to handle payment only at the official check-in desk or airline cashier, not with someone approaching passengers between counters.

One traveler reported that a pushy airport worker kept asking for money even after check-in and eventually took USD 10 in the departure area. The practical takeaway in Hurghada is to avoid handing over cash outside the official process and ask for a supervisor or airline representative if someone pressures you.
