    Egypt Air is the 6th oldest airline worldwide established on 1932 ,even older than the state of UAE itself.

      UAE economy with 1 million local population is bigger then Egyptian economy with 100 million population. There is no need to compare this way :)

    I live in London and would chose Egyptair any day over BritishAirways or a European carrier. Egyptair renewed their fleet recently and are trying to improve the service. I appreciate the extra luggage and not having extra charges here and there i.e. luggage, meals. When it comes to flexibility and changes, if you need to change economy tickets dates, it is far cheaper than getting ripped off paying admin charges plus the any additional tickets costs on European carriers.

    Love the review! Keep it going…I just have a comment regarding the disposable food trays Egyptair uses, it is actually intentional as a covid-19 precautionary measure to fight the virus spread, not a matter of neglect. Which in turns makes me as a passenger more assured of their overall hygiene. Well done on the review.

    Really great to see you back David. You and Felix do a great job. Egypt Air is trying, and the meals looked appetising. Hopefully they can serve meals in re-useable dishes, and make other refinements, as you mentioned. Compared to meals on U.S. airlines, Egypt Air is well ahead. Personally, I would give Egypt Air an 8 out of 10 based on your review.

    • @spidyman8853
      @spidyman8853 3 года назад +10

      In the age of Covid-19 I think it was 100% wise for them to use the plastic utensils at least they get thrown away rather than use real utensils that get washed.
      My concern is...... what if they don't get washed properly.

    • @alexm566
      @alexm566 3 года назад +3

    • @oabouelleil
      @oabouelleil 2 года назад +2

      They only switched to single-use plastics after covid. Never had them before. Based on travelling with them for the past 9 years. I assume they plan to go back to their reusable dishes once there is less concern around the virus.

    Egypt Air has been around since the 1930s.... it had ups and downs for decades . i think they are doing a move now but not planning to hit in the higher niche ...it rather wishes to becomi the good economy option that focuses on tourism especially regular groups> thats a big market that can give a return on investments in a step by step policy. i really apreciated your remarks on the unclean windows and limited media content...i always complain from it too and i think you were trying to give them a waiver with the desert excuse :) emirates and qatar air come from the desert too !! i guess its rather cutting costs and mismanagement
    however they are very reliable and dependable in their operations and i hardly suffered from delays..lost luggagge.. etc over 40 years of travelling with them. they also offer a wide coverage and have great offers on longhaul flights to East Asia Africa and the US

    I spent three years working seasonally in Egypt during my degree (archaeo). I found that EgyptAir was pretty much the only way to get around the country that wasn't a complete omnishambles. My noble intentions of seeing more of the country and saving the environment by using rail went straight out the window when I realised that EgyptAir Express (as was) was so damn practical and convenient compared to literally everything else on offer. They did the job, and that in itself was a big win.

    We flew EgyptAir from Cairo to Luxor, and then from Aswan to Cairo. The only complaint I had is I felt cramped in economy class and the seat was not comfortable. But then I was suffering from a lower back pain and painful leg muscles from riding a camel and walking down into the Red Pyramid. One of our party upgraded to first class and met Zawi Hawas. The best plane experience we had on that trip was the flight with Air France, from Charles de Gaulle to Cairo. That was some seriously good food and wine served in economy class.

    Of all the travel reviewers, Brutally Honest is the only one I looked forward to resuming. I also see that the issue of cleaning up in the EgyptAir lounges has still not been addressed since I last used Cairo Airport a few years ago. The irony is that the public areas are still actually much cleaner than the lounges!

    I guess that the plastic containers thing is related to Covid restrictions. I flew Egypt Air a lot as an Egyptian myself.
    I assume it’s a decent airliner. The cabin crew are helpful. The pilots are so professional with a very high safty record.
    What comes from the cons side from my view are:
    1) The cabin crew typically speak Arabic and English, sometimes French also, not a wide variety of languages like the case in Emirates. But, this is something about Emirates that all the crew members are expats from around the world.
    2) The lavatory hygiene is not the best.
    3) The meals are not changing a lot from a destination to the other considering the different tastes of guests from different countries.
    4) This is very important, you won’t find huge difference in QoS between economy and business class despite the huge difference in the price.

    I'm happy to hear this report on Egypt Air. I fly the airline frequently, especially domestically. All the remarks you made were ones I also have noticed. I'd like to see if their service has improved on their long haul flights, for example to North America. They were well known to be a 'less desirable' option for many reasons, but not serving alcohol was a noticeable one. Thanks for your review and keeping it real without sponsors. Happy flying!

    The only non middle east airline which we can compare with emirates, etihad or qatar is turkish airlines. Because they have a very young fleet also a brand new airport with a very very good lounge. Also there inflight entertainment system is world class. They have a very good catering partner with turkish do&co. And a very very professionel crew. Which to see a brutally honest review of them. 🙈

    Glad you're back! You should try out Hawaiian Airlines again - they were so bad when we flew 3 weeks ago! I was so looking forward to my first trip to Hawaii in over 30 years - it could have really ruined my trip if I had let it - they need to be called out for horrible service and disgusting food. And don't even think about asking for a pillow and blanket if you are not in first class - you will get the "UGH" service - trust me you need to try them again...........

    Interesting, thank you. I shied away from Egypt Air a couple of times going from Frankfurt to Dubai. Business Class at Egypt is the same price as PremEco with Lufthansa.
    LH beats the offer with a direct connection, but I am starting to avoid LH these days.

    Honestly, it would be a lot funnier to hear your voice speaking in every video like this. Wish you all the best!!!
