Limits for charter flights to the Red Sea (Britannia etc) are generally 25kg hold baggage and 5kg carry on, and they frequently weigh the carry on. Usually if there are a few of you checking in together you can generate enough confusion to get a bit more through. A couple of times I have checked in a 25kg bag then been told my 10kg carry on is too heavy so checked that in as well without any excess charge.

I just flew to Marsa Alam for a week on Hurricane with Brittania. I checked in two 32kg boxes, one with the Ouroboros, one with everything else. No excess charges either way. As you say, they do seem more concerned about hand baggage - they were weighing and anything over 5kg had to be split up.
