Check in
Please ensure that you are able to securely stow your baggage in the overhead compartment or under the seat in front of you in addition to any other limitations that may apply.
To ensure the safety, comfort, and convenience of all passengers on board, it is important for us to maintain unobstructed overhead compartments and a clutter-free cabin.
If your cabin baggage exceeds the permissible limits, it will be collected and stored in the cargo compartment of the aircraft.
In addition, you may be required to pay for additional baggage charges if the combined weight or number of bags exceeds your free baggage allowance. However, baby strollers are exempt from this policy.
Please note that we reserve the right to determine whether any baggage or item in your baggage is not permitted in the cabin or on board our flight.
On our flights, you are permitted to bring ONE of the following items with you free of charge, in addition to your cabin baggage allowance (subject to country restrictions, where applicable):
*Please note that the maximum dimensions for these bags are 36 X 56 X 23 cm each, If your item exceeds it will be counted as part of your standard cabin baggage allowance. You will then be required to check in either your cabin bag or the additional item.
We conduct pre-flight checks at both check-in and prior to boarding to ensure the safety of all passengers on board. Any cabin baggage that exceeds the allowed limits during the check-in process must be checked in. Similarly, before boarding, any cabin baggage that exceeds the allowed limits will be collected and stored in the aircraft cargo compartment. An excess baggage charge may also be added if the combined weight with the bags already checked in exceeds your checked baggage allowance.
To facilitate faster security checks and ensure the safety of all passengers and cabin crew, we kindly request that you adhere to the guidelines on the weight and size of carry-on luggage. This will help minimize the risk of injury from luggage falling from overhead compartments due to excess stowage. Any cabin baggage that exceeds the stipulated allowances will be required to be checked in. This will also help ensure a clutter-free cabin, allowing other passengers and crew to move around with ease.
Please note, for the safety and comfort of all passengers, Nile Air retains sole discretion to determine whether any item of your baggage will be permitted in the cabin or must be carried as checked baggage.
Some countries have strict restrictions on the food items you can or cannot carry. If you wish to carry food items with you, we advise you to check with the relevant authorities before you fly. we may restrict the carriage of food items in your cabin and/or checked baggage if these items are deemed offensive to other passengers (for example, food items that give a strong smell). If you intend to bring these items on board our flights, please check with your local Nile Air office before you fly.
