How flynas charges for excess baggage: a flat fee per bag, then a per-kilo step
Most carriers in this region bill excess weight per kilo, so travellers arrive at the flynas counter with the wrong mental model. flynas sells hold space per bag. Under the official Fare Regulations 14May2026-V25, one flat fee buys one extra bag a place in the hold, and that fee covers everything the bag weighs up to 20 kg. The per-kilo meter only starts above 20 kg, and it runs at SAR 40, SAR 60 or SAR 80 depending on the route group.
Here is the logic on a small scale: a 21 kg extra bag on a Riyadh to Jeddah flight pays the SAR 240 flat fee plus SAR 40 for the single kilo above 20, so SAR 280 in total. A 19 kg bag on the same flight pays SAR 240 flat and nothing more. The flat fee does most of the damage, and the kilos above 20 are a surcharge on top of it.
| Route group | Flat fee per extra bag (up to 20 kg) | Each kg above 20 kg | Covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saudi domestic | SAR 240 | SAR 40 | Flights within Saudi Arabia |
| Short-haul international | SAR 300 | SAR 60 | Gulf and other nearby international routes |
| Long-haul group | SAR 540 | SAR 80 | Indian subcontinent, Africa, Europe and Central Asia |
Airport counter rates per Fare Regulations 14May2026-V25, checked July 2026. A bag over 158 cm in total dimensions (length + width + height) adds a SAR 100 handling fee on any route.
Two details worth locking in. First, every extra bag is priced on its own, so two extra bags to Mumbai pay the SAR 540 fee twice before any kilo is counted. Second, the route grouping follows the station list in the V25 PDF, and the long-haul group is broader than most people expect: Mumbai, Delhi, Lucknow, Calicut, Hyderabad, Lahore and Karachi all sit in it, alongside Africa, Europe and Central Asia. If your destination is in that list, plan around the SAR 540 figure, not the SAR 300 one.
What your fare bundle already includes
Excess only begins where your included allowance stops, and on flynas that allowance is a fare-bundle decision made at booking, so confirm which bundle you actually bought before you calculate anything. The full cabin-and-checked picture, including the 56 × 36 × 23 cm cabin rule and the missing free personal item, lives in our flynas baggage guide; the short version is this table.
| Fare bundle | Domestic checked bag | International checked bag | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light | None | None on most routes; a few North Africa routes such as Cairo and Algiers include 15 to 20 kg | The 7 kg cabin bag is the whole allowance |
| Value | 1 × 20 kg | 1 × 20 kg short-haul; 1 × 30 kg to the Indian subcontinent group | The India group gets the bigger bag |
| Plus | 1 × 30 kg | 1 × 30 kg short-haul, or 2 × 20 kg to the India group | The two-piece option suits gift-heavy trips home |
| Business | 2 pieces | 2 pieces | Per-piece weight varies by route; trust the figure on your booking |
As checked July 2026 against Fare Regulations 14May2026-V25. Bundles and allowances change by route and date; the baggage line printed on your booking wins over any table, including this one.
Notice the pattern: flynas gives the Indian subcontinent group more included weight than its short-haul network, which softens the sting of the higher SAR 540 extra-bag fee on those routes. A Value passenger flying Jeddah to Delhi already holds 30 kg of checked allowance, so the calculator on this page only matters once a second bag or a heavier load enters the plan.
The money rule: add the bag at least 12 hours before departure
One habit beats every other saving on flynas: put the extra bag in Manage Booking before the prepay window shuts, 12 hours before departure. The V25 regulations publish prepaid extra-bag tiers that undercut the counter by half or more. As examples from those tables: a 20 kg domestic extra bag runs about SAR 118 prepaid against SAR 240 at the airport, and a 20 kg bag to the India group about SAR 302 against SAR 540. Treat both as examples rather than quotes; prepaid prices vary by route, weight tier and date, and the figure inside your own booking is the binding one.
The routine that makes the rule work is boring and effective. Weigh the packed bag at home on a luggage scale, decide while you can still choose, and buy the tier that covers you with a margin. Miss the 12-hour cutoff and the choice disappears: the airport table above becomes the only price list left. Flying other carriers on the same trip? The excess baggage calculator hub runs the same numbers for IndiGo, Air India Express and the rest of the fleet.
A worked example: the 25 kg bag to Mumbai
Say you fly Jeddah to Mumbai with one extra bag weighing 25 kg. The long-haul flat fee is SAR 540, which covers the first 20 kg. The remaining 5 kg bill at SAR 80 each, adding SAR 400. Total at the counter: SAR 940. The same 25 kg bag bought in advance runs about SAR 422 in the V25 India-group prepaid table, less than half the airport figure. The table below shows the counter arithmetic at common weights.
| Scenario (one extra bag) | Flat fee | Above 20 kg | Airport estimate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Domestic, 18 kg | SAR 240 | None | ≈ SAR 240 |
| Domestic, 23 kg | SAR 240 | 3 kg × SAR 40 = SAR 120 | ≈ SAR 360 |
| Short-haul, 21 kg | SAR 300 | 1 kg × SAR 60 = SAR 60 | ≈ SAR 360 |
| Long-haul, 25 kg | SAR 540 | 5 kg × SAR 80 = SAR 400 | ≈ SAR 940 |
| Long-haul, 30 kg | SAR 540 | 10 kg × SAR 80 = SAR 800 | ≈ SAR 1,340 |
Computed from the airport table in Fare Regulations 14May2026-V25. Prepaid tiers cost far less for the same weights; confirm both prices in Manage Booking before you decide.
Zamzam water is priced as its own piece
For many Umrah returnees the extra piece that matters most is the Zamzam container, and flynas prices it separately from suitcases. A Zamzam piece costs SAR 40 up to 5 litres or SAR 80 up to 10 litres, and even that fee is waived when the container fits within the checked allowance you already hold. Since Fare Regulations 14May2026-V25 there is a better route entirely: departing Jeddah, Madinah or Taif with proof of a completed Umrah in the Nusuk app, one container up to 5 litres flies free on top of your allowance.
The handling rules stay strict either way. The sealed container travels in the hold as its own piece, never in the cabin and never packed inside a suitcase, and flynas accepts no liability claims for it. The permission from Jeddah is recent, so carry the Nusuk proof and keep the V25 document saved on your phone. The full walkthrough sits in our Zamzam on flynas guide, and the airline-by-airline comparison in the Zamzam rules table.
The limits no fee removes
Three limits sit outside every fee table. First, no single bag may weigh more than 32 kg, at any price; a 36 kg case must become two bags before anyone touches it, and each of those bags is then priced separately. Second, standard checked dimensions run to 75 × 50 × 33 cm, and a bag over 158 cm in total triggers the SAR 100 oversize handling fee on top of the extra-bag price. Third, the cabin allowance is one piece of 56 × 36 × 23 cm up to 7 kg with no published free personal item, so shifting weight into a second cabin bag does not work on flynas. Measure yours against the exact rule in our bag size checker before you leave for the airport.
FAQs: flynas excess baggage charges
How much is flynas excess baggage at the airport?
flynas charges a flat fee per extra bag under Fare Regulations 14May2026-V25: SAR 240 on Saudi domestic routes, SAR 300 on short-haul international routes and SAR 540 on the long-haul group that covers the Indian subcontinent, Africa, Europe and Central Asia. Each fee covers the bag up to 20 kg; above that the counter adds SAR 40, SAR 60 or SAR 80 per kilo on the same route split. Manage Booking shows the binding price for your flight.
Does flynas charge excess baggage per kg or per bag?
Per bag first, then per kilo. One extra bag pays a flat fee that covers everything up to 20 kg, and only the kilos above 20 are billed per kg. A 21 kg extra bag on a domestic route costs SAR 240 for the bag plus SAR 40 for the one kilo above 20, so SAR 280 in total at the counter.
Is it cheaper to prepay extra baggage on flynas?
Yes, by a wide margin. Prepaid extra bags can be added in Manage Booking up to 12 hours before departure. As an example from the 14May2026-V25 tables, a 20 kg domestic extra bag runs about SAR 118 prepaid against SAR 240 at the airport counter. Prepaid prices vary by route and date, so treat that as an example and read the figure inside your own booking.
Does the flynas Light fare include a checked bag?
On most routes, no; a few North Africa routes such as Cairo and Algiers include 15 to 20 kg. On a Light ticket any suitcase you bring to the counter is priced as an extra bag: at least SAR 240 within Saudi Arabia and SAR 540 to the India group, before any kilo above 20 is counted. Buying a Value bundle or a prepaid bag in advance is almost always cheaper.
How much does Zamzam water cost on flynas?
A Zamzam piece costs SAR 40 up to 5 litres or SAR 80 up to 10 litres, and the fee is waived if the container fits within your checked allowance. Departing Jeddah, Madinah or Taif with Umrah proof in the Nusuk app, one container up to 5 litres flies free on top of your allowance under Fare Regulations 14May2026-V25. It travels in the hold only, never in the cabin and never inside a suitcase.
