Flynas Baggage Policy: Fees, Allowance & Rules 

Flynas allows economy passengers 7 kg of carry-on luggage and either 0–23 kg of checked baggage depending on the fare type. Checked baggage is not always included in base fares, so purchasing allowances in advance is significantly cheaper than paying at the airport.

Flynas is Saudi Arabia’s largest low-cost carrier, operating domestic routes across the Kingdom and international flights to over 70 destinations across the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and Europe. Like most budget airlines, Flynas structures its baggage policy around fare tiers and optional add-ons meaning what you’re entitled to depends heavily on the ticket you purchased.

What Is the Flynas Carry-On Baggage Allowance?

Flynas permits each passenger one carry-on bag with a maximum weight of 7 kg and maximum dimensions of 55 cm × 38 cm × 20 cm (including handles and wheels). This allowance applies to both domestic and international flights, regardless of fare class.

In addition to your carry-on, passengers may bring one small personal item such as a handbag, laptop bag, or backpack provided it fits under the seat in front of you.

Is a laptop included in the 7 kg hand luggage allowance on Flynas?

Yes. Flynas does not separate laptops from the 7 kg carry-on allowance. Your laptop, charger, and any other electronics you carry onboard all count toward that 7 kg limit. If your carry-on bag alone weighs 5 kg and your laptop adds another 2 kg, you’re at the limit. Travelers frequently underestimate how quickly electronics and accessories add up weigh your bag before heading to the airport.

What Is the Flynas Checked Baggage Allowance?

Flynas checked baggage allowance varies based on fare type, route, and whether you purchased baggage in advance. Base “Lite” fares on most routes include no checked baggage, while higher fare bundles include 23 kg as standard.

Flynas Baggage Allowance: Domestic Routes

Flynas Baggage Allowance: International Routes

International passengers on Lite fares must purchase baggage separately. The earlier you buy, the cheaper it will be online pre-purchase prices are consistently lower than airport counter rates.

Flynas Baggage Allowance: Economy Class

Flynas operates an all-economy cabin on its flights. “Economy” baggage allowance is therefore determined by fare bundle rather than a separate cabin class. A Lite economy fare has no checked baggage; a Flex economy fare may include 30 kg on international routes.

Can You Carry 2 Bags for 30 kg on Flynas International?

Flynas applies a per-piece policy on most international routes, not a pooled weight allowance. This means you generally cannot split 30 kg across two separate bags unless you have purchased two separate baggage units.

One purchased baggage unit typically allows one bag up to 23 kg. If you need 30 kg, you would need to either upgrade to a fare that includes 30 kg in a single bag, or purchase an additional piece allowance. Flynas does not officially support the “2 bags for 30 kg” combination as a standard configuration verify directly with Flynas customer support for your specific route before packing.

What Is the Flynas Baggage Allowance for Infants?

Infants (under 2 years old) traveling on a lap ticket receive the following:

• 1 checked bag up to 10 kg
• 1 foldable stroller or pram (checked free of charge)
• 1 car seat (checked free of charge)

Infants do not receive a carry-on allowance beyond what the accompanying adult is permitted. Note that if the stroller is non-foldable, it may be subject to oversized baggage handling fees confirm with Flynas before departure.

What Are Flynas Extra Baggage Prices? (Domestic vs. International)

Flynas Extra Baggage Price: Domestic Flights

Purchasing baggage in advance online is the most cost-effective approach for domestic routes.

Prices are approximate and vary by route and booking window. Always check the Flynas website for current rates.

Flynas Extra Baggage Price: International Flights

Flynas extra baggage price per kg for excess weight (bags over the purchased limit) typically runs SAR 25–50 per kg at the airport, making it significantly more expensive per kilogram than pre-purchasing a full allowance.

How Much Does a 15 kg Baggage Allowance Cost on Flynas?

Flynas does not typically sell a standalone 15 kg option on all routes. Available weight increments vary. On domestic routes, options usually start at 10 kg or 20 kg. If 15 kg is not available for your route, purchasing the 20 kg tier online is almost always cheaper than paying excess baggage fees at the airport for a 15 kg bag.

How Do I Add Extra Baggage on Flynas?

Adding baggage to a Flynas booking is straightforward. Here’s how:

1. Online via Flynas.com: Log into “Manage My Booking,” enter your booking reference and last name, select “Add Baggage,” and complete payment. This is the cheapest method.
2. Flynas mobile app: Navigate to your booking and select the baggage add-on option.
3. Flynas customer service: Call the Flynas contact center to add baggage over the phone (fees may apply for service charges).
4. At the airport: Available at check-in counters, but rates are substantially higher typically 40–60% more than online prices.

Best practice: Add baggage at least 24 hours before departure. Some fare types lock baggage purchasing options within a certain window before the flight.

What Items Are Restricted or Prohibited on Flynas Flights?

Carry-On Restrictions

• Liquids over 100 ml (must be in containers of 100 ml or less, stored in a 1-liter clear resealable bag)
• Sharp objects (scissors, knives, razor blades)
• Power banks over 100 Wh (those between 100–160 Wh require airline approval; above 160 Wh are prohibited)

Flynas follows Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) regulations, as well as IATA Dangerous Goods rules for prohibited items. Always cross-check the official Flynas website for the most current restricted items list before packing.

How Much Does Excess Baggage Cost on Flynas?

Excess baggage fees apply when:

• Your checked bag exceeds the purchased weight allowance
• Your bag exceeds the maximum single-piece weight of 32 kg (bags over 32 kg may not be accepted)
• You arrive with more bags than your booking covers

At-airport excess baggage fees run approximately SAR 25–50 per kilogram over the limit. Here’s how that adds up in practice:

Example: You purchased a 23 kg allowance but your bag weighs 28 kg. That’s 5 kg of excess at SAR 40/kg = SAR 200 in additional fees often more than it would have cost to pre-purchase a 30 kg allowance online.

How Early Can You Check In With Flynas?

Flynas opens online check-in 48 hours before departure and closes it 90 minutes before the scheduled departure time. Airport check-in counters typically open 3 hours before departure and close 60 minutes prior.

Passengers who check in online and travel with only carry-on baggage can proceed directly to the boarding gate (after security), saving significant time at the airport.

Flynas handles lost baggage claims under the Montreal Convention, which governs international air travel compensation. Under this framework:

• Delayed baggage: Passengers may claim reasonable interim expenses (clothing, toiletries) if bags are delayed.
• Lost baggage: Compensation is capped at approximately 1,131 Special Drawing Rights (SDR) roughly SAR 5,500–6,000 depending on exchange rates per passenger for international flights.
• Domestic routes: Compensation limits may differ under Saudi domestic aviation regulations.

To maximize your claim, retain all receipts for replacement items purchased during a delay and submit them alongside your PIR. Travel insurance with baggage cover is strongly recommended, especially for international travel with valuables.

• Add baggage during the initial booking: Prices are lowest at this stage compared to post-booking add-ons.
• Use packing cubes: Compressing clothing efficiently can reduce bag weight by 10–15% without leaving anything behind.
• Photograph your checked bag: A timestamped photo before check-in helps with damage claims if needed.
