I have used Egypt Air multiple times. Flying from USA to Cairo , flight time, more than 11 or 12 hours. Plus flights from Cairo to Luxor, EXCELLENT customer service, and never had issues!!!
Exactly! I am surprised to see so many negative comments on Reddit and other sites. I flew from Dhaka to USA last year and had a surprisingly pleasant trip. Considering their reasonable prices and how good their customer service is, I would definitely fly with them again.
@@zaynshafique Thank you for your comment! I just returned from Egypt 🇪🇬 2 days ago (my 5th time) AND I flew with Egypt Air again! Everything was perfect 👌
Compared to Lufthansa that serve only snacks for short-haul flights, EgyptAir catering is good I think. Also they are usually more flexible with overweight baggage. The cabin crew and pilots are professional. And above all their prices are good.
Egyptair is a really good company, I have used It a lot for all my transportation between different Arabian countries and Egypt. It was known that Egyptian pilots are the best allover the world
Egypt Air fares are almost half of Emirates, Etihad and Qatar, unfair comparison, delays at departure are out of their control and usually compensated for at landing .. not bad at all for a budget airline
I have travelled with them and other airlines with good reputations, I didn't notice any difference. And because of Egyptair fares, I will definitely travel with them again.
It's a lot better than all European airlines. which they offer you nothing to eat or drink, and no one of them has an entertainment screen attached!! DISGRACE
Unfortunately, most of the foreign tourists who come to Egypt is poor..they cannot travel to Los Angeles, London, Tokyo, or Paris because two thousand dollars in these cities will not be enough for two or three days, but in Egypt it is enough for an entire month. example, Uber travels 220 kilometers from Cairo to Alexandria for about only $20 and a good, air-conditioned car, but a trip like this in America costs $500...and despite all these services, they do not thank these poor tourists. Egypt 😢
visitare Egipto en mayo del 2025 y estoy muy emocionado viajare desde atenas y después volare desde el cairo a estambul con egyptair,saludos desde chile
One of the oldest airlines iin the world. My mother flew Misrair in 1948 to Lydda and in 1950 to Nicosia, Cyprus. It was a reliable airline. My aunts flew Saide in 1950 to Rome from Cairo with a stop in Alexandria and Athens. Misrair merged with Saide in the early 50s. They operated Italian 3 engine planes.
As a frequent flyer, I tried many airlines. Egypt Air is not one of the luxury airlines. But I feel safe with Egypt Air and due to its crew. Customer service is also good compared to many other airlines. Food as you mentioned is great. Airplane is clean. I have no bad experience with EgyptAir.
I regularly fly with Egyptair as a foreigner living in Egypt, with different destinations in Europe. You have been particularly unlucky, as I almost never encountered your issues on the ground except at Malpensa airport in Milan. The greatest advantage with Egyptair is their baggage allowance, which is way higher than most airlines. Yes, delays are an issue, but mostly due to ground problems. I had such in Geneva, but none in Zurich or Frankfurt. I travel both economy and business. Cabin crew always very friendly and helpful. Food always good. Cairo airport is not bad, and shuttle service between terminals is efficient. I am surprised you had such bad luck at security checks. I had such an issue in Dubai of all places, which otherwise is a good airport.
EgyptAir is a good company and is safe due to the conditions in the surrounding countries. Its ticket is less than Qatar and Emirates planes. remember this

Honest, fair, and balanced! Superb airline review once again. Haven't flown EgyptAir yet but you are 100% right when it comes to Cairo Airport. I flew out of there last year and it was indeed a disaster. Security took almost 2 hours and I got asked for a bribe twice by airport staff.
Corruption and bureaucracy, and jobs both at the airport and outside it are obtained through mediation, not competence. EgyptAir managers are corrupt army generals and incompetent in public work Military rule = organized corruption Unfortunately In Egypt, the more educational you attain, the more you suffer and the less your opportunities become
I refused to pay bribe and got put into detention with my passport stolen . Paid the bribe after all and left the country . Never again . Will watch the Pyramids on TH-cam.
Actually I just watched a documentary few days ago, and the cause of the accident of the Egyptair that departed from France and ended in the Mediterranean sea, was because the pilot was smoking in the cabinet, also there is another old accident in the Atlantic ocean, also it was because of the mistake of the captain, so I don’t think the personal are professional enough
Till the moment some of tge airlines do not prohibit smoking in the cabinet of the pilots and i do doubt if this is the main cause , all the accidents you won't find either boeing nir airbus declaire their responsibility @@omarnahrain88

Always use Egyptair .. might not be the best when compared to gulf airlines , but definitely much better than many European and North American airlines .
“I flew with Egypt Airlines from Saudi Arabia to Nigeria for a business trip and was required to purchase a return ticket with Egypt Airlines. On my return from Nigeria to Saudi Arabia, the airline staff insisted that I buy another departure ticket from Saudi Arabia using Egypt Airlines, even though I planned to stay in Saudi for a long time without a specific return date. Despite explaining this multiple times, the staff told me to buy a ticket and then cancel it if needed. So, I bought a random ticket, but they ended up blocking it. I’ve never experienced such frustrating service.”
Thanks for the video... I regularly fly Egypt Air from FRA to CAI... Honestly Egypt Air is better than Lufthansa... Better food and better aircrafts and flights time but still once I arrive CAI airport... It is a nightmare
Great video! I dont understand why egyptair is so criticised. Nowadays they are so much better than any european airline with good service and cabins. Only the delays are annoying, and Cairo is a Disaster Airport.
I Love travel with Egyptair from London to Cairo. Is more better than British airline. You can find the famous Egyptian simile and all the care. I like so much the meal offered on Egyptair. But I agree we need to improve the security process. The egyptain pilots consider the best one on the world
I’m an Egyptian myself who used to live in Kuwait and used to take EgyptAir lol By the way, if I become the CEO of EgyptAir myself, I would renovate the interiors of the old fleet like Boeing 777 and Airbus 330. I would get rid of many of old Boeing 737’s and make them fully replaced by the A320 NEOS. Their Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner is actually ok but I took it from Dubai to Cairo and the cabin is already starting to be affected. Some of it was damaged, a pocket on the bottom right of the seat in front of me was dirty and refused to put anything on it. If EgyptAir wants their old fleet to symbolize their improvement, they should not neglect it. They also ordered A350’s and I’m hopeful that it will have modern features which will enhance the airlines improvement. Finally, as for the food, no EgyptAir falls behind on that specific scenario. The food was not cooked well, not enough to satisfy my hunger needs and limited options are available. EgyptAir is a dry airlines but that doesn’t mean they should have a Boeing menu, they should add non-alcoholic wines and other drinks like iced latte or cappuccino.
good point. However, it's not healthy for a growing airline to have a mixed fleet or comparable Boeing and Airbus at the same time like MS is doing. Reasons: 1. Different and incompatable crew training and qualificans 2. Different maintenance training. 3. Different spare part sourcing. These all lead to unneceassry cost. 1. MS 777s are are good and could sevrve another 10+years, so updating their interior to their 787 standard is the abvious no branner. 2. The A330-300 may stay on regional routes where neither capacity nor range are neeeded. (Currently replacing them with 787s would be more of a financial burden), When they come out of age MS would anyway convert them to cargo as the older-200s. 3. Purchasing addiditional 787s..(step by step). 4. Believe it or not MS 737-800s would not be considered old and if updated along with the 777s would look and feel as good as new. There's a fleet of 30 strong airframes here. 5. Sell off all the A320s neos or not.. These are the minority and would be eaasiest and cost effective to replace with new 737s. -------------------- Plan B. Is more costly. 1. Replace all the 777s with A350s and adding more in the process. 2. Purchase more A330s(neos) and slowly replacing MS existing 787. 3. Selling off all the 737-800s and replacing them with A320 Neos. Thus ending up with an all Airbus fleet. --------- The reason MS prurchases planes from both manufacturers (and on debt) like a wealthy airline is pretty easy to guess.
@@Advancedkid I have to kindly disagree. You see, I didn’t mention all Boeing 737’s I was mentioning the old ones received almost 20 years ago. The ones Egypt received in 2017 are fine and replacing 777’s with A350 is not only costly but will make EgyptAir get less profit. EgyptAir should operate the A330’s and Boeing 777’s alongside their newer fleet because that would make the airlines have more aircrafts so it could add more destinations which will increase the airlines revenue. The Boeing 777 interior should be designed to be like their Boeing 787. EgyptAir ordered A350, its interior will be revealed when they receive their first delivery of the aircraft. The interior of their A330’s should be renovated to be like it.
what makes the older MS 737-800s really old and needing replacement? Do you know the TT / cycles or when D - checks are due? (I can assure you it's not airframe age as on paper). *(LH has maintened & operatedmany many airframes well over 20 years and noone would ever notice.) Secondly, I provided plan A and plan B and you kinda mixed both. I actually agreed 100% that MS 77s don't require any replacement anytime soon. Even I would have returned the older -200s alongside after a major overhaul and update. Btw. as of current MS isn't considered to be doing any profits. Whatever is on paper is miniscule and won't make a small percentage into a purchase of a sole new 737 or 320, let alone raise their employees pay. Go figure, honestly!! Now going by what you are saying.. 1. Sure, MS 77s interiors should be updated to match their 78s. MS problem. Seems they're planning to replace the 77s with upcoming A350s. I can 100% assure you, once they received their new A350, MS will NEVER update their A330's interior. *(you say they should and I kinda agree but they WON"T). Now, if you ask me if MS move to purchase a batch of new A350s is a good one, and if it's not joking time, I'd tell you a sober NO. Simply put, you don't order new planes with money that you don't have, let alone introduce a new type. After already operating 77s and 78s a smart management would add more 78s to the lot, (to streamline operations and reduce cost). What happened to MS A220? and what was wrong with the E170s at all?? Seems like weird stuff going on there.
We travelled recently with Egypt Air. The plane was like an old bus from inside, chairs did not move , no enough blankets for passengers and so much more 😂
At moment 9:34 The flight was due to leave at 4:15 am and eventually took off at 4:55. You pointed out that the flight was 40 minutes behind schedule? I guess that being "behind the schedule" would mean in advance of schedule but your flight took off late. To be square, it was 40 minutes after the scheduled departure time! Your voice is very clear and pleasant.
You are probably not a native speaker but behind schedule means "late." It is correct exactly the way he said it. Of course, you could also say "after the scheduled departure time." Both are correct.
It’s the newer planes that have good service and seats and all, but old ones like the a330s and probably some 737s have less better service and comfort
Hey Jack - great review, thank you. I do recall an Egypt Air flight I was on NBO - CAI back in the 80's (old livery} & the captain was entertaining the hostesses in the back row. But to this day Egypt is the still the most amazing place I have ever been to, but that was when Hurghada was a one horse pony town hehe
When most of the staff are selected based on their family connections, not their ability. This is what you end up with. In addition, I think they are not well paid, and this may add to the problems
Thank you for your honest video, I am Egyptian Irish, I never went to Egypt by Egypt Air for all the bad stories I 've heard. but to be honest, It's better than I thought.
To my understanding the reason why KWI requires a printed boarding pass is because they passport control will stamp on your boarding pass, not sure why the gate agent will be looking for that stamp when you enter the gate, its a grey area for those transitiing in kwi, seems to be not the issue if operating in terminal 4 as far as i know

Great reviews, With very little internal staff training, Egiept Air will definitely over come the issues commented on your review. Have you done other African Airlines like Ethiopian Airlines and Kenya Airways?
No one can beat EgyptAir fares, however, you get what you pay for. Longhaul flights are very 3 star with clean cabins but basic and minimal onboard service. The cabin crew is visibly absent after the meal service. The lack of a hot breakfast was noticeable on a 9 hour overnight flight. Regional flights, eg Cairo to Istanbul is disastrous, disgusting and filthy cabins on old dated aircraft. Boarding is always a chaotic experience. Would I fly them again? Most probably if I would like to visit Cairo again on route. Would I like to do that a 3rd time? A strong NO. Would I recommend this airline? For 1st time travelers, yes! Once you have flown Etihad, Qatar, or Emirates, then NO!!!! Thank you for a brilliant review 🎉
Swiss Air line KLM air France not offer any food on board and the tickets more expensive than Egypt air. The pilots of Egypt air are so professional and cabin crew very helpful
17:00 the probably dont because egypt is a muslim country and muslims arent allowed to drink alcohol, and especially egyptians really care about their religion and would love to spread it in any possible way
Really good review mate, gained a sub. Wonder if you've ever covered saudia? Or if you will cover them in the future? I'm flying with them to india via jeddah and via riyadh on the way back.
I have travel also to Dhaka from Berlin with Egypt air it wasn’t so bad. But Egypt airport was the Nightmare. But the flight ✈️ was really great for that I would love to travel again by Egyptair …
After 18 years of working in the aviation industry, traveled to + 50 countries/ + 30 US states, with + 25 different airlines. Egyptair is the best meal ever! As an economical airline... service/ planes are acceptable and good.
I flew Egyptair in June 2024. First and look last. I traveled business class. Their product was very very poor. They felt like they were doing me a favor by serving food. Poor attitude by staff. This is what happens when govt owns and runs an airline. It should be privatised and all staff fired and rehired based on performance alone. Cairo airport again run by govt. Dangerous place.
Worst airport for transit ! U get yelled at while waiting at the transit desk and officer are not polite at all !! Horrible management ! Avoid at all cost !
im egyptian, i live in usa and i traviled alot in my life .. i love my country but egypt airline is absolutely the worse of any flight i've been on in my 4 decades of traveling .. it's on every aspect.. they are unprofitional not couardnated and the serves is animal waist to say the least .. very rude employees and overly moody staff. keep in mind it's the only none stop flight from the usa.. i used the airline at least 20 times and none was a good experience.. i've been using saudi airlines lately .. it's so much better and it's worth the layover.. the defferance in day and night.. never more egypt airlines .. it's not worth it if it was free.. oh by the way it's one of the most expensive airlines in the world.. not cheap at all .. specially for the less than mediocar servese... the only positive thing i can say about the airline is that it's one of the safest airlines in the world.. but that's about it.. nothing more nothing less..
I flew Egypt air from Cairo to Amman. A security guy asked for a tip. This happened nearly at every stage. they took my cologne despite it was withn allowed amount. The flight was uncomfortable. The airplane was old and every thing was shaking. People were roaming the aircraft and using their phones and the crew did nothing about it. They served a cold sandwich which was not good.
Flynas , the saudi airline does the same , small cheese sandwich and a 200 ml bottle of water , that was the served meal on a flight from Cairo to Jeddah and if you asked for a cup of tea you have to pay 2 riyals to get it so do us a favor and stop complaining .
Enjoyed your review, no vegetarian food offerings? I can’t see Egypt having high welfare standards for animals, so couldn’t have eaten unless there was vegetarian offerings. I’ve seen other reviews and the same incidents that you had; people using the toilet on takeoff and also standing up on takeoff. Wouldn’t entertain this airline. I like your to the point reviews.
My worst flight was with them , really regret it ( bad attitude of the workers , bad skills of the pilots was praying all the way on they landed in another airport because of failure of the first landing !!!! Then the food and the seat no comment about they use the seats of 3 hours for a flight of 11 hours ) horrible guys try to don’t book with them . Have a safe trip .

The ones Egypt received in 2017 are fine and replacing 777’s with A350 is not only costly but will make EgyptAir get less profit. EgyptAir should operate the A330’s and Boeing 777’s alongside their newer fleet because that would make the airlines have more aircrafts so it could add more destinations which will increase the airlines revenue. The Boeing 777 interior should be designed to be like their Boeing 787. EgyptAir ordered A350, its interior will be revealed when they receive their first delivery of the aircraft. The interior of their A330’s should be renovated to be like it.
what makes the older MS 737-800s really old and needing replacement? Do you know the TT / cycles or when D - checks are due? (I can assure you it's not airframe age as on paper). *(LH has maintened & operatedmany many airframes well over 20 years and noone would ever notice.)
Secondly, I provided plan A and plan B and you kinda mixed both. I actually agreed 100% that MS 77s don't require any replacement anytime soon. Even I would have returned the older -200s alongside after a major overhaul and update. Btw. as of current MS isn't considered to be doing any profits. Whatever is on paper is miniscule and won't make a small percentage into a purchase of a sole new 737 or 320, let alone raise their employees pay. Go figure, honestly!!
Now going by what you are saying.. 1. Sure, MS 77s interiors should be updated to match their 78s. MS problem. Seems they're planning to replace the 77s with upcoming A350s. I can 100% assure you, once they received their new A350, MS will NEVER update their A330's interior. *(you say they should and I kinda agree but they WON"T).
Now, if you ask me if MS move to purchase a batch of new A350s is a good one, and if it's not joking time, I'd tell you a sober NO. Simply put, you don't order new planes with money that you don't have, let alone introduce a new type. After already operating 77s and 78s a smart management would add more 78s to the lot, (to streamline operations and reduce cost).
What happened to MS A220? and what was wrong with the E170s at all?? Seems like weird stuff going on there.
I fully disagree on the food, Egypt Air food is the best at least among the ones i tried in the same period... Etihad and Emirates
@@crowxe no EgyptAir’s food was disgusting. Limited options are available and the last time I took their pasta, it was not cooked well.
We travelled recently with Egypt Air. The plane was like an old bus from inside, chairs did not move , no enough blankets for passengers and so much more 😂
At moment 9:34
The flight was due to leave at 4:15 am and eventually took off at 4:55. You pointed out that the flight was 40 minutes behind schedule? I guess that being "behind the schedule" would mean in advance of schedule but your flight took off late. To be square, it was 40 minutes after the scheduled departure time!
Your voice is very clear and pleasant.
You are probably not a native speaker but behind schedule means "late." It is correct exactly the way he said it. Of course, you could also say "after the scheduled departure time." Both are correct.
It’s the newer planes that have good service and seats and all, but old ones like the a330s and probably some 737s have less better service and comfort
Very nice video. I am from Kuwait and I hope you enjoyed your stay there 😊
actually its not bad at all , scale 1 to 10 I'll give them 8
The security agents at CAI routinely leave their posts to go and do their prayers. I love how you pronounce 'Cairo'. Thanks for the very fair review.
Hey Jack - great review, thank you. I do recall an Egypt Air flight I was on NBO - CAI back in the 80's (old livery} & the captain was entertaining the hostesses in the back row. But to this day Egypt is the still the most amazing place I have ever been to, but that was when Hurghada was a one horse pony town hehe
Great video! Never flown EgyptAir, and I don’t think I will. I guess I just prefer airlines that are more well-managed.
Thanks!
Egyptair is now really better than lot of European airlines
Loved Egypt Air
i flew egypt air to cairo and lebnon bording , seats toilet are awful but the way i was treated by the the crew really take the cake ..
EgyptAir is not bad it's so good
When most of the staff are selected based on their family connections, not their ability. This is what you end up with. In addition, I think they are not well paid, and this may add to the problems
Thank you for your honest video, I am Egyptian Irish, I never went to Egypt by Egypt Air for all the bad stories I 've heard. but to be honest, It's better than I thought.
Egyptair is a really great airline their food is insane
To my understanding the reason why KWI requires a printed boarding pass is because they passport control will stamp on your boarding pass, not sure why the gate agent will be looking for that stamp when you enter the gate, its a grey area for those transitiing in kwi, seems to be not the issue if operating in terminal 4 as far as i know
Great review, ❤❤ i haven’t seen any reviews on Egypt 🇪🇬 Air.
Thanks!
Worst airline”I flew with Egypt Airlines from Saudi Arabia to Nigeria for a business trip and was required to purchase a return ticket with Egypt Airlines. On my return from Nigeria to Saudi Arabia, the airline staff insisted that I buy another departure ticket from Saudi Arabia using Egypt Airlines, even though I planned to stay in Saudi for a long time without a specific return date. Despite explaining this multiple times, the staff told me to buy a ticket and then cancel it if needed. So, I bought a random ticket, but they ended up blocking it. I’ve never experienced such frustrating service.”
You forgot to mention the amazing museum in Cairo airport !
the big problem for egyptair is the cabin crew if you ask for something they feel its there food and im taking from there share
Great reviews, With very little internal staff training, Egiept Air will definitely over come the issues commented on your review. Have you done other African Airlines like Ethiopian Airlines and Kenya Airways?
No one can beat EgyptAir fares, however, you get what you pay for. Longhaul flights are very 3 star with clean cabins but basic and minimal onboard service. The cabin crew is visibly absent after the meal service. The lack of a hot breakfast was noticeable on a 9 hour overnight flight. Regional flights, eg Cairo to Istanbul is disastrous, disgusting and filthy cabins on old dated aircraft. Boarding is always a chaotic experience. Would I fly them again? Most probably if I would like to visit Cairo again on route. Would I like to do that a 3rd time? A strong NO. Would I recommend this airline? For 1st time travelers, yes! Once you have flown Etihad, Qatar, or Emirates, then NO!!!! Thank you for a brilliant review 🎉
Swiss Air line KLM air France not offer any food on board and the tickets more expensive than Egypt air. The pilots of Egypt air are so professional and cabin crew very helpful
Egyptair is really better than more than half of the European airlines
17:00 the probably dont because egypt is a muslim country and muslims arent allowed to drink alcohol, and especially egyptians really care about their religion and would love to spread it in any possible way
I would say this is an acurate review, but over all I feel more safe with Egyptair due to pilots skills and reputation
Really good review mate, gained a sub. Wonder if you've ever covered saudia? Or if you will cover them in the future? I'm flying with them to india via jeddah and via riyadh on the way back.
Thanks! Not yet, but it's certainly an airline I want to fly in the future.
I flew Saudia 20 years ago and it was terrible. I recently flew with them again and it was really great. So they improved.
On your 2nd flight, did your seatmate choose chicken rice, how is the presenation, even though you choose the beef?
I'm egyptian and i flied 2 times using egypt air, For me they werent that bad i dont get why people hate it
I have travel also to Dhaka from Berlin with Egypt air it wasn’t so bad. But Egypt airport was the Nightmare. But the flight ✈️ was really great for that I would love to travel again by Egyptair …
you forgot to mention the rude staff on Egyptair
😂😂😂😂😂😂
its not the products or services. Their not so distant past safety records speaks volumes.. So don't take MS unless I really have to..
After 18 years of working in the aviation industry, traveled to + 50 countries/ + 30 US states, with + 25 different airlines.
Egyptair is the best meal ever! As an economical airline... service/ planes are acceptable and good.
Egypt air is good, taking it all time from Toronto Canada and no issue
Nice review. CAI management is in the process of being outsourced to a private company by end of 2024. It will most likely be an Emarati company
Nice review 😊 🙏
Thanks!
honestly egypt air livery is one of the best!!
Is good airline but only for business class . The same for ground services!
I have travelled with many companies in the world and I have not found them good, Egyptair is truly the best
Egyptair is a pretty competitive airline except in transfers
I flew Egyptair in June 2024. First and look last. I traveled business class. Their product was very very poor. They felt like they were doing me a favor by serving food. Poor attitude by staff. This is what happens when govt owns and runs an airline. It should be privatised and all staff fired and rehired based on performance alone. Cairo airport again run by govt. Dangerous place.
Thank you for this video
I only use Egyptair. I love their airplanes and service.
Waaaaaaay better than SwissAir which serves a piece of chocolate and a bottle of water on a 5 hours flight.
I would love to go to Iran and fly their A300 and 310, they still fly the MD-83
Another excellent video, thanks for sharing! 😉
Thanks!
Dude, EgyptAir Actually isn't bad
For real
Lunch & breakfast looked good for Y class.
Great review!😊👍 btw, did you hear about Josh Cahill's horrible experience with Luxair and their allegedly horrible service ?😮
Thanks, haven't seen it.
The food was excellent
The Best thing in EgyptAir is their pilots, They are the best in the world
I've only had brilliant experiences with Egypt Air.
Worst airport for transit ! U get yelled at while waiting at the transit desk and officer are not polite at all !! Horrible management ! Avoid at all cost !
Egypt air is not bad I tried it don't say on Egypt air bad because I'm from Egypt
I flew Egyptair excellent experience
This is Egypt - typical chaos as in all aspects of life in this country
Spot on! This video reflects exactly my last flight with MS and transit in CAI. As Jack said..it is a shit show!
im egyptian, i live in usa and i traviled alot in my life .. i love my country but egypt airline is absolutely the worse of any flight i've been on in my 4 decades of traveling .. it's on every aspect.. they are unprofitional not couardnated and the serves is animal waist to say the least .. very rude employees and overly moody staff. keep in mind it's the only none stop flight from the usa.. i used the airline at least 20 times and none was a good experience.. i've been using saudi airlines lately .. it's so much better and it's worth the layover.. the defferance in day and night.. never more egypt airlines .. it's not worth it if it was free.. oh by the way it's one of the most expensive airlines in the world.. not cheap at all .. specially for the less than mediocar servese... the only positive thing i can say about the airline is that it's one of the safest airlines in the world.. but that's about it.. nothing more nothing less..
I flew Egypt air from Cairo to Amman. A security guy asked for a tip. This happened nearly at every stage. they took my cologne despite it was withn allowed amount. The flight was uncomfortable. The airplane was old and every thing was shaking. People were roaming the aircraft and using their phones and the crew did nothing about it. They served a cold sandwich which was not good.
Flynas , the saudi airline does the same , small cheese sandwich and a 200 ml bottle of water , that was the served meal on a flight from Cairo to Jeddah and if you asked for a cup of tea you have to pay 2 riyals to get it so do us a favor and stop complaining .
good report
No Alcohol
Enjoyed your review, no vegetarian food offerings? I can’t see Egypt having high welfare standards for animals, so couldn’t have eaten unless there was vegetarian offerings. I’ve seen other reviews and the same incidents that you had; people using the toilet on takeoff and also standing up on takeoff. Wouldn’t entertain this airline. I like your to the point reviews.
tried lufthansa economy. couldn't see the view properly cuz the window was not clean. Also very cheap airline, but I'll say they were on time
I always travel EgyptAir and it's a very excellent service
The worst Star Alliance Airline is Lufthansa!
Bad management
Am disappointed in them....i have lost my luggage and they keep saying i wait
Egypt air one is the best i had trevel with
I give 8 out of 10
you earned a New subscriber and fan, 😎💗
I have flown EgyptAir many times with no problems.
My worst flight was with them , really regret it ( bad attitude of the workers , bad skills of the pilots was praying all the way on they landed in another airport because of failure of the first landing !!!! Then the food and the seat no comment about they use the seats of 3 hours for a flight of 11 hours ) horrible guys try to don’t book with them . Have a safe trip .
they misplaced my luggage
I always choose Ethiopian airline I don't need to be economy or business class👍
are you black ?
Watching from Uganda,
Lufthansa was very cheap. the meal was very tiny
Compared to European or even American airlines, Egyptair is much better..
