Avoid this terrible airline I'm stuck in tokyo with no way of booking seats or check-in. because Egyptair decided to change my flights but not put it on my booking, and when you message them they tell you to email them 24hours before the flight to find out if you have a seat. I will never use this airline again.

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…….

GB - JNB and return After reading the reviews, I was quite discouraged from using this airline despite knowing someone that had flown multiple times with no problems but booked for the rates anyway. Flights were on time, luggage arrived safely - we opted to wrap our luggage bags quite thoroughly to avoid any damage but all was well and we were happy with the overall experience. 1 short star for the meals, weren't the best but doable.

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 .
