GBIf 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 .

LBBait and switch Egyptair This airline is a scam. They practice bait and switch. I bought 2 tickets from Toronto canada to Beirut Lebanon. The reservation allows 2 checked in luggage for each person. At the check in counter they claimed that they changed their policy and only allowed one checked in luggage per passenger although the reservation clearly shows 2 luggage per passenger and they wouldn’t let us check in unless we pay $300 for the second luggage. We ended up paying $600 for the 2 additional luggage. This is clearly a highway robbery. The service was dismal and the staff was extremely rude and unprofessional! Stay away from this crooked airline at any cost.

GBSharks! 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.

GBEgypt 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.

GBStay away at ALL costs I give one star, because you can't give zero stars They make it impossible to get a human being, on purpose (saves them $$) and they don't respond to emails Thier "customer service " is a joke I am currently stuck in Egypt, their website won't let me download my tickets - wr are supposed to leave tomorrow and their "customer service hotline- is an answering machine message that says they are closed.... Stay away at all costs
