What to expect on flights to Egypt: baggage checks, extra security screening, and seat assignment?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: today
TL;DR
Carry-on luggage on Egypt flights is often not weighed, but expect a possible extra security screening in a separate zone before boarding. Nesma Airlines seats passengers together for free without charging for seat selection.
What the community said
On a round-trip Nesma Airlines flight, passengers were automatically seated together with no extra fee charged — neither for them nor for other travelers at check-in.

On departure in November, there was an additional security check right before boarding, in a separate cordoned-off area at gates 5 and 6 specifically for passengers with Russian passports, including a repeat baggage check.
