Egyptair

Egypt Air is the main Egyptian carrier, it has a wide range of internal flights which I've never used due to the air-conditioned coaches on offer throughout the country but they may appeal to richer tourists or people with little time. I flew with Egypt Air from Cairo to Bangkok, I found the staff at the check in desk straight-forward and friendly, although it has to be taken in to account that the flight was on time and I had everything in order - it's difficult to say how they would react when there's a problem. Egypt Air has some excellently priced flights and my ticket to Bangkok was quite the bargain, generally they have reasonably priced ...  Read the complete review

I just recently went on Egypt air and it was one of the worst airlines I have ever been on. I flew from London to Cairo to Sharm-El-Sheikh and then back to London.

Lets face it, all airlines can get you from A to B, sometimes you have to change at C, sometimes you have to hang around at C, but if ...  Read the complete review

A second-hand opinion, but from several sources....My father got on an Egyptair flight at night, and always claims if he'd seen it in daylight, he wouldn't have got on it. An opinion echoed by several other friends who've been (un)fortunate enough to fly with them. Planes are generally old and unhappy looking, and unless you like kebabs for breakfast the food leaves much to be desired..unfortunately, if you want to take an internal flight, you have no choice, but several other airlines fly to and from Cairo from the UK now. ...  Read the complete review
