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!!!

[@AE-up2dc]

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

[@user-qk4qy2kg4p]

I took flight from manchester to egypt With egyptair Airlines very good service Very polite very clean I will use them again

[@aymannedaa]

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.

[@Comeback_.]

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 😢

[@chokz9342]

actually its not bad at all , scale 1 to 10 I'll give them 8

[@koantao8321]

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.

[@mohailam]

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

[@abdullahzidan4665]

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

In fact, its prices are very reasonable and its services are excellent. I always travel via EgyptAir 😍

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.

[@JackRoaming]

Thanks a lot!

[@heshamabdou5259]

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

[@TubeMart35]

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.

[@Advancedkid]

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.

[@TubeMart35]

@@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.

[@Advancedkid]

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

Egyptair is now really better than lot of European airlines

[@semsemeini7905]

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.

[@MohamedFawzy-82]

Apart from the punctuality , it is one of the best airlines especially when it comes to pilots and how professional they are

[@omarnahrain88]

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

[@MohamedFawzy-82]

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.

[@markgellert1]

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.

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
