From messages by 3 participants in 1 source · Last activity: 5 days ago

TL;DR

Baggage allowance on Sharm El Sheikh package flights depends on the airline and fare, and flights operated by Rossiya may not include the usual 23 kg checked bag plus 10 kg cabin bag. Check your itinerary before departure, as excess weight may be charged or items may have to be left behind.

What the community said

Confirm the operating airline and baggage allowance when booking: package holidays can be routed on Rossiya Airlines, where the allowance may differ from the commonly expected 23 kg checked bag plus 10 kg cabin bag.

23 kg + 10 kg

Airport check-in staff may carry out strict, selective baggage weighing, including on Russia-bound flights. Weigh your suitcase in advance rather than assuming a small excess will be overlooked.

If your baggage exceeds the allowance, an excess-fee may apply; reported charges were around RUB 1,000–2,000. With a substantial overage, you may have to leave some items behind, so distribute heavy purchases within the allowance before reaching the airport.
