Book the cheapest flynas fare — the Light bundle — and here’s exactly what you get: one cabin bag up to 7 kg (56 x 36 x 23 cm) plus a small personal item, and nothing in the hold. No checked bag at all. That’s the whole deal. Saudi Arabia’s low-cost carrier prices Light to be the headline number you see on the search page, and the checked allowance is the thing they’ve stripped out to get there.
Step up to Value and you get 1 x 20 kg checked. Plus and Premium give you 2 x 20 kg (40 kg total) plus flexibility and seat selection. There’s one important wrinkle worth knowing: on certain long routes — the Indian subcontinent (New Delhi, Lucknow, Hyderabad, Calicut, plus Lahore, Islamabad, Karachi) and Khartoum — even the Light fare carries 20 kg in the hold. So whether your cheap fare includes a bag depends heavily on where you’re flying.

What you actually get on a cheap fare
On a cheap flynas Light deal fare you fly hand-luggage only. 7 kg cabin bag plus a personal item, and that’s it — unless your route is to the Indian subcontinent or Khartoum, where Light unusually includes 20 kg. For everything else (domestic Saudi hops, GCC, Egypt, Turkey, Europe), budget to add a bag if you need one. Cheapest path is to add it online when you book, or at least 12 hours before departure — prepaying online can be roughly half what you’ll pay at the airport counter.
If you know you need hold luggage, do the maths before you click: a Light fare plus a paid bag often lands within a few rials of the Value fare, which bundles 20 kg and softer cancellation rules. On the subcontinent/Sudan routes the calculus flips — Light already has your 20 kg, so don’t pay twice.
Oversize, sports & special items
Oversize and weight rules: no single checked piece may exceed 32 kg — heavier items must be split or shipped as cargo. Maximum checked piece dimensions are 75 x 50 x 33 cm; you can carry a maximum of 2 hold pieces per passenger. Sports equipment, golf bags and musical instruments travel as part of (or in addition to) your checked allowance and are best declared and prepaid in advance rather than turned up with at the gate; oversize items are subject to extra handling charges that vary by route.
2025/2026 note: flynas continues to run the four-tier Light / Value / Plus / Premium economy structure plus Business on select wide-body services, with checked allowance entirely fare-dependent — the cabin allowance (7 kg, 56 x 36 x 23 cm) is the one constant across all of them.
Frequently asked questions

No. The Light fare is cabin baggage only (7 kg) on most routes. The exception is flights to the Indian subcontinent (New Delhi, Lucknow, Hyderabad, Calicut, Lahore, Islamabad, Karachi) and Khartoum, where Light includes 20 kg checked.
How big and heavy can my flynas cabin bag be?
One cabin bag up to 56 x 36 x 23 cm and 7 kg, plus one small personal item (laptop bag, handbag or small camera) that fits under the seat. This applies on every fare, including Light.
How much checked baggage does the Value fare include?
The Value fare includes 1 piece of 20 kg checked baggage, along with lower cancellation charges than Light.

Plus and Premium fares include 2 pieces of 20 kg each (40 kg total), plus seat selection and added flexibility. Premium also adds airport lounge access.
How much does it cost to add a bag to a flynas Light fare?
Excess/extra baggage runs roughly SAR 30-50 per kg on domestic routes, with international rates varying by route. Add it online when booking or at least 12 hours before departure — prepaying can save up to 50% versus the airport counter.
What is the maximum weight for a single flynas checked bag?
No single checked piece may weigh more than 32 kg. Maximum dimensions per piece are 75 x 50 x 33 cm, and you can check a maximum of 2 pieces.
Can I carry sports equipment or a musical instrument on flynas?
Yes, but they count toward or add to your checked allowance and may incur oversize handling charges that vary by route. Declare and prepay in advance rather than arriving with them undeclared.
Is the cabin bag really included even on the cheapest fare?
Yes — unlike some ultra-low-cost carriers, flynas includes the 7 kg cabin bag plus a personal item on the Light fare. What Light strips is the hold baggage, not the carry-on.
