Sharks! As they refuse to offer the promised refund I turned to my credt card company. What a bunch of sharks! They don't deserve 1-star, but we can't give them less. They finally agreed that we were entitled to a refund for being downgraded when an Economy-only aircraft was substituted for our scheduled aircraft with a Business Class cabin and gave me the e-mail address of the London office to claim it. The e-mail was ignored, the follow-up letter was ignored, the report to the laughably-named 'We Care' (they really, really don't, so this title is world-class hypocrisy) was ignored. Therefore I put in a Section 75 claim to my credit card company. They have now refunded the difference, 'unless Egyptair prove that I'm not entitled to it, or refund me themselves'. They can't do the first and seem determined not to do the second. But how are these dishonest bandits allowed to be members of Star Alliance, which consists of otherwise reputable airlines? Never again with Egyptair, never, never.

Egypt air cannot be trusted to operate the flights you purchased, total unreliable. Egypt air unexpectedly cancelled our Rome Cairo flight and then rebooked us on an earlier flight that we could not make. Trying to get a full refund for their change has been impossible. No one answers their reservation numbers and they don’t return messages left on their answering machines. Ultimately we had to cancel on line and we are now fighting to get our trip refunded for a change they made. Apparently they feel that once you’ve booked their airline, when they provide the flight is independent of what you thought you purchased.

If you land in cairo as a transit… If you land in cairo as a transit passenger then be prepared for rude obnoxious ground staff. Especially in security who talk to customers like peasants with contempt and in a condescending tone. No organisation its a complete shambles. They have 1 scanner and search customers causing them discomfort and also strip babies away from parents. Absolutely shocking kind of attitude and horrible nasty people. The flight itself was OK but the ground operations is pathetic .

Thieves Maybe the airlines are honest, but Egyptair duty-free at the airport in Hurghada is one big group of thieves. Don't pay with any visa debit card because you will be robbed

It got one star as the aircraft arrived… It got one star as the aircraft arrived on time to London from Cairo. We purchased water/drinks in departure lounge, only to find another security check at the gate. Drinks were not allowed through. The aircraft was very warm and no drinks served until 3 hrs into flight (by then, I had already gone to the galley and got drinks for my wife and children, although many passengers didn’t manage it. Non existent Cabin crew until the food was served, at which point the crew member wasn’t watching where she was going and literally ‘crashed’ into a lady trying to get back into her seat. Some food was spilt in the aisle, which was much easier for the cabin crew to step over (many times) instead of clear it up. A passenger left a ‘hat bin’ open, (unfortunately there was no turbulence to bring his stuff down on top of his head), 4 cabin crew walked past at least twice and left it open. I dread to think what would have happened if there had been an emergency. The cabin remained hot for the flight, even though some passengers asked for it to be turned down and the cabin lights finally went off with 1hr to go, only to be turned on 30mins later for landing. I would never use EgyptAir unless I have no other options whatsoever…….
