Egypt Air Aircraft Seat Plans

IST-CAI-BKK-CA-IST. There is a big difference with Egyptair on their new 777 aircraft and the old 737's. So IST to CAI was a complete mess, people with so much baggage in their laps, arguments over taking over people's seats and the check in process was insanity personified. Instead of sending everyone away to re- pack their bags, they make you wait as people do it at the check in desk. And you wait, and then you wait some more because every other person on these flights into CAI is carrying way too much baggage and trying to sneak it in. I was dreading the 777 to BKK, but lo and behold, it's like a different airline! Modern, clean and bright plane, crew in complete control of the cabin. Amazing difference. Same on the return. Not sure I would do it again on MS flights, although my time in the three cities was great.

Flew the JFK-CAI-JFK and thought it was fantastic. flight was on time. 2 hot meals and a pre-arrival snack, drinks available the whole flight. The entertainment system was quite nice but needs to be updated.

Economy flights AMS to JNB via CAI - 2 Sept. On time flights in both cases. Helpful staff at check in at AMS and on board. Food on first flight poor, on JNB flight excellent and special meal provided. Easy transfer at Cairo. Both old planes with one toilet not working on AMS-CAI flight. Noticed no problems with the JNB plane - just looking worn with overhead entertainment only. Staff on both flights helpful and pleasant. Provided you are willing to accept an old plane should that be your lot then I will recommend this time because Egyptair works in other ways - good fares with pleasant and helpful staff.

LOS-CAI-JFK. Best value for money based on short notice, but required 12-hour layover in Cairo. Egyptair gave me a meal and hotel voucher as standard procedure! Flight from LOS was uneventful, but decent; 737-800. The flight from Cairo to JFK - new 777-300ER. I requested a last minute upgrade to their Business/First and got it for $595 USD. A steal for a 12-hour flight! Excellent service and comfortable business class full-sleeper seats.

CMN-CAI. Check in was organized, fast track security was very fast, lounge is average, boarding was organized, took off on time. Seat was very poor for a business class seat, the food was horrible. My screen was not working, I changed to 3 seats and finally on the third seat it was working, the screen is very small, the crew disappeared after meal service. Overall a bad flight.

Johannesburg to London via Cairo - 20/21 August. Good fare, check-in simple, easy transfer at Cairo, staff helpful and pleasant with special meal as ordered and ok. Egyptair is an airline of two halves depending on whether you get a new or old plane. Plane to London was new - 777 - with excellent seats and entertainment system - didn't feel cramped although completely full. Plane from JOburg to Cairo old and it showed. Parts in the toilets were kept together by duct tape and cable ties, the overhead screens were not all working and entertainment offered dire. Also just as plane was taxing one of the toilets overflowed and it ran back through the plane during take off. Fortunately it was clean water, staff mopped it up, purser came to apologise and those affected could move. So handled well but until Egyptair replaces those planes and the experience is hit and miss I can't recommend despite so many other positives.

Istanbul (Ataturk) to Cairo, coach. The plane was modern and comfortable, and relatively spacious. The meal was bad but edible. Dry airline, so if you like a drink in-air, plan accordingly. A fight of some sort broke out in the rear of the plane, which flight attendants managed to resolve reasonably quickly. Departure wasn't too late, and arrival was ahead of schedule.

AMS-CAI-BKK-KUL. Everything on time, clean and new aircraft's, good attentive service, good food (a letdown during CAI-BKK). It is just as good as many other airlines. I am not a drinker, so a no-alcohol policy was a extra treat for me.

DXB-CAI-LHR, after completing 3 flights with MS in the last month, I can definitively say it's the worst international carrier I've had the displeasure of travelling on. MS fail to provide a fair level of service for its premium passengers, no priority boarding, food comparable to CX economy and tardy slow service from the crew. MS provide lie-flat seats on its long haul fleet, found it difficult to find a comfortable position to sleep.

Our family of 5 recently travelled from JNB to Cairo and then to JFK. As this was the first time any of us had flown Egyptair, we were pleasantly surprised. The food was good - our only complaint was that we didn't have enough to drink (i.e. water or cold drinks). We had a 12 hour stop over in Cairo on our return flight and we were given a voucher for 2 x rooms in a hotel close to the airport, plus a lunch voucher. We were able to face the Cairo-JNB leg of the trip after a shower and a nap.

After reading some reviews we were worried about flying with this airline but as we were travelling from Cairo to Johannesburg we didn't have a choice. Given that we had low expectations we were pleasantly surprised with the overall experience. It wasn't up to scratch service wise as with other airlines we have flown but it was ok for the 8 hour flight. Meals are a little below par but edible. Drinks seem to only be offered at meal times so I suggest taking some on the plane with you. Inflight entertainment is via central screens around the aircraft - bring a book/laptop/ipod to keep you entertained as it is pretty average. If you have another choice of airline for a similar price then take that one. If you don't - just don't have high expectations and you will be ok. 8 hours was bearable but I wouldn't fly with them on a flight of any longer duration.

CAI-LCA-CAI. April 24th. The flight to Larnaca, Cyprus was short and comfortable, the plane was E70, seats were comfortable and the snack was surprisingly very good. We were on time for both inbound and outbound flights. Ground handling at both airports was excellent.

LHR-SSH. Flights were on time and service was good. The staff were very friendly when you were being served, but slow to help people when not on trolley service. Cabin comfort could be improved, the seats were quite old and bulky. Entertainment was limited to overhead monitors, which isn't great for a 5 hour flight. Food was good on the way out, but bland on the way back, the also ran out of the chicken option before halfway down the cabin. Would recommend, but would be good to see improvements.

Flew EgyptAir from Amsterdam to Bangkok, via Cairo. Two older planes - standard aisle monitors on the AMS- CAI leg but at least had personal monitors in the headrest on the leg from Cairo to Bangkok, with +1 for each chair having USB plug for charging on that last longer leg. Food was average but hot, service a bit abrupt. Hard to get attendants' attention for something like a drink - best to bring bottled water. On the return, pretty much the same. As a stopover point, Cairo has poor food choices, rude people, not enough seating, 2-min wifi leases? Frustrating.
