How strict are checked-baggage weight limits when flying out of Sharm El Sheikh, including Pegasus flights?

One traveler noted that baggage allowance depends on the fare type purchased: some tickets come with only a 10 kg limit, though in their case the outbound flight from Sharm El Sheikh had a 23 kg allowance.

Another passenger shared that giving a box of chocolates to the check-in belt inspector along with the passports resulted in a free emergency-exit seat and a free 4 kg baggage overweight allowance (suitcases weighed 34 kg total, two carry-ons at 24 kg were not weighed).

At Pegasus check-in in Sharm El Sheikh, travelers reported that 1 kg of excess baggage was waived. You can weigh suitcases at unused counters near check-in and redistribute items before handing in the bag.

If your luggage is overpacked, bring a foldable extra bag: one traveler group carried some items in hand-held shopping bags instead of adding more weight to checked suitcases.

In another report, a shared 22.5 kg suitcase was 2.5 kg over the allowance and was accepted without an extra charge. Do not rely on this, however, as the check-in agent makes the final decision.
