Frequently asked questions

What is the checked baggage allowance for infants?

All classes allow infants to check 1 piece of baggage with a maximum weight of 10 kg (22 lbs) and dimensions of 115 cm (45 inches). Additionally, infants are allowed to bring a fold-up collapsible stroller.\

What can I bring in my carry-on luggage?

You can bring various items in your carry-on luggage, but remember that certain items may require additional screening or may be prohibited. Even permitted items may be restricted if they trigger alarms or pose security concerns. The final decision on whether an item can be carried rests with the security authorities.

What should I know about baggage weight limitations?

Your checked baggage cannot exceed 32 kg (70 lbs) per piece due to local occupational safety rules. If your baggage exceeds this weight, it must be shipped separately as freight or cargo.

What are the baggage size and weight limitations at King Khaled International Airport (KKIA)?

At KKIA, the maximum allowable size for check-in baggage is 92 x 61 x 76 cm, and the weight cannot exceed 32 kg. This applies unless your baggage is exempt (e.g., golf bags, live animals, wheelchairs, baby trolleys, and musical instruments).

Are there any carry-on restrictions for certain flights?

Yes, for certain flights operated by small aircraft, carry-on baggage restrictions may apply. Additionally, flights to/from the U.S. allow only 1 carry-on item and 1 personal item. In some cases, First and Business class passengers may be asked to check their second piece of hand baggage, particularly on flights to countries with restrictive regulations or when traveling on small aircraft (e.g., E170 aircraft).

What is the policy for declaring high-value luggage?

If your luggage exceeds 1,000 special drawing rights (approximately 1,200 euros) in value, you must declare it at check-in. A fee of 0.5% of the declared value will apply, and an excess luggage ticket will be issued. The maximum declaration value allowed is US$5,000 per passenger.

Can I carry my luggage on code-share flights?

If your booking includes code-share flights with another airline (e.g., United Airlines), your baggage allowance may differ from EGYPTAIR's standard allowances. For United Airlines flights, all passengers, including infants not occupying a seat, are allowed 1 piece of cabin baggage and 1 personal item with maximum dimensions of 19 x 31 x 53 cm.
