DO NOT FLY WITH EGYPT AIR - they will screw you The absolute worst company I have ever dealt with. I booked my flight 4 months in advance. Then with 2 weeks remaining, they change my connecting flight to leave me stranded in Cairo for 2 days and missing the wedding I was attending. Their 24hr customer service line doesn't exist, and they don't offer a full refund because they "tax" you for cancelling (which for me was over 100 euro).

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 .

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.

Hope to never again have to fly with them…a bunch of entitled people doing whatever they want to poeple’s goods… Below is my complaint to them just o get a brief idea of what happened. They didn’t answer for a very long time, sent a bunch of reminders and called them various times. Then they transferred the case to Egypt Air Budapest which answered even slower. They did a poor evaluation of the damage and decided to refund me 92€ in the local currency of Hungary (forints). They asked me to fill out the same document and have witnesses sign it 4 times. They changed the currency and made many mistakes. I only got the money a week ago, so after 4 and a half months. Hope to never again have to fly with them! They treat customers bad, destroy their suitcases and don’t care afterwards, pay a lousy amount of money to fix a super expensive suitcase… “Dear Egypt Air, Without making this complaint too long, I’d like to mention that: My luggage hasn’t arrived on the 30.11.2023 in Sharm and it was delayed. I only recovered it after almost 24h, so I spent the day in the same clothes, with no toothbrush, no hairbrush and so on. My luggage arrived destroyed. Somebody broke the lock. This is a new Samsonite suitcase (700€ in value) which is now destroyed (both because of the lock, but also because of the scratches). I demand urgent compensation and solutions for both cases. Please treat this case as an urgent matter as I’m often traveling and I need my suitcase in perfect condition.”

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.
