TL;DR
Travelers say Nesma flights to Hurghada are generally smooth: the cabin is clean, staff are pleasant, but legroom is limited and complimentary service may be just water. On connections via Turkey and Russia, baggage checks are often described as relaxed, though this is not guaranteed.
A family traveling with a 6-month-old baby shared that the flight went well: the infant slept almost the entire flight on the parents' laps using a small inflatable baby mattress, with three seats together in one row. It was physically tiring for the parents, but the baby handled the flight calmly.
Another traveler noted the seats recline and have gadget holders, air conditioning worked fine, and on a flight under three hours there was no discomfort.
Security let them through without any issue even with knitting needles in carry-on luggage, no questions asked.
On itineraries connecting via Turkey and Russia, travelers reported that baggage screening is usually fairly relaxed, but you should not treat this as a guaranteed rule.
Passengers said Nesma flights to Hurghada are manageable even with children: the seats feel tight, but the trip is generally comfortable enough.
Another Nesma review described the flight as clean and calm, with friendly crew and no smoking issues. Russian language support onboard was minimal, and the only complimentary item was typically a bottle of water, with other service extras paid.
