flynas and Zamzam: the Jeddah ban is gone, with one condition

This is the biggest change on this page, and it is good news. For years flynas refused Zamzam water on flights departing Jeddah, and this guide used to tell pilgrims to route home through Madinah because of it. That rule has been withdrawn. The official Fare Regulations 14May2026-V25, published on flynas's own site with a PDF date of 25 May 2026, replace the 14APR2025-V25 edition that carried the Jeddah ban. Under the current text, flynas carries one Zamzam container of up to 5 litres free of charge, on top of your baggage allowance, from Jeddah, Madinah and Taif alike, but only for passengers who show proof of a completed Umrah in the Nusuk app at check-in.

The conditions matter as much as the permission, so read them twice. The container flies in the hold as its own piece. Zamzam is never allowed in the cabin, is never allowed packed inside a checked suitcase, and flynas accepts no liability claims for it, so buy the official sealed container. Without Umrah proof in the Nusuk app the free carriage does not apply; a Zamzam piece is then charged at SAR 40 up to 5 litres or SAR 80 up to 10 litres, and even that fee is waived if the container fits within the checked allowance you already hold.

The old workarounds, departing from Madinah instead of Jeddah or handing your container to family flying Saudia, are no longer needed on flynas. What replaces them is a small amount of paperwork: complete your Umrah, keep the Nusuk record on your phone, and present it with the sealed container at the counter. If you are not travelling for Umrah, budget for the SAR 40 fee or leave room inside your checked allowance. The full airline-by-airline picture is in our Zamzam rules table.

Cabin baggage: a standard limit, strictly enforced on full flights

flynas allows one cabin bag of 56 × 36 × 23 cm and 7 kg, matching the common international carry-on shape. Note what is missing: the fare regulations 14May2026-V25 publish one cabin piece and nothing else, so unlike many airlines flynas promises no free personal item, and an additional piece can be charged. As a low-cost carrier flying busy Saudi domestic and Umrah routes, flynas weighs cabin bags at the gate on full flights, and the 7 kg includes the bag itself. Pack a soft, light bag to keep real capacity, and test your exact bag in the tool above. One more cabin point for pilgrims: Zamzam never travels in the cabin on flynas, whatever proof you carry.

Checked baggage: read the fare bundle, not the price

Like other low-cost carriers, flynas sells the seat and the baggage separately through fare bundles. Per the 14May2026-V25 fare regulations, the cheapest bundle, named Light, includes no checked bag on most routes, though a few North Africa routes such as Cairo include 15–20 kg. Value includes one piece of 20 kg on domestic flights and one piece of 30 kg on routes to the Indian subcontinent, including Mumbai, Delhi, Lucknow, Hyderabad and Calicut. Plus steps up to 30 kg on short-haul routes or two pieces of 20 kg on the India group, and Business includes two pieces. No single bag may exceed 32 kg or 75 × 50 × 33 cm at any price. The low headline fare and the low allowance travel together, so the baggage line on your booking is the only number that matters. If you will carry checked bags, buy the allowance with the fare; adding it later, and especially at the airport, costs more.

Excess baggage and how to avoid the counter

flynas charges airport excess as a flat fee per extra bag, not per kg. Per the 14May2026-V25 fare regulations: SAR 240 per bag up to 20 kg on domestic routes, then SAR 40 per kg above that; SAR 300 per bag, then SAR 60 per kg, on short-haul international routes; and SAR 540 per bag, then SAR 80 per kg, on the long-haul group that covers the Indian subcontinent, Africa, Europe and Central Asia. A bag over 158 cm in total dimensions adds a SAR 100 handling fee. Prepaid extra bags, bookable up to 12 hours before departure, cost far less; the 14May2026-V25 prepaid tiers list SAR 107 for a 15 kg bag, SAR 182 for 20 kg and SAR 252 for 25 kg, against SAR 240 or more per bag at the counter. Rates change, so confirm yours in Manage Booking. The discipline is the one our excess calculator demonstrates: weigh at home, and if you are over, buy the extra bag online rather than at the Saudi airport counter.
