Our experience with Egypt Air was nothing short of appalling. Due to a flight delay of over 2.5 hours, we missed our connecting flight and had to spend over $2500 on alternative flights to Bali via Doha, not to mention losing 36 hours of our holiday. The airline claimed the delay was due to "technical issues," but after researching previous flights on the same route, it’s clear this is a recurring problem—a reflection of the consistently poor service provided by Egypt Air.
The service we received both on the ground and in the air was disgraceful. The ground staff in Sharm and Cairo were rude and unhelpful, refusing to assist us when we needed help the most. Despite assurances from the flight attendant that we would be met with assistance upon landing, this was a blatant lie. No one was there to help us, leaving us stranded and scrambling to make alternative arrangements.
To add insult to injury, the airline’s compensation offer—a 15% discount on future flights—is completely unacceptable and worthless to us, as we live in Australia and have no plans to fly with Egypt Air again.
This experience has been one of the worst in all our years of travelling. We feel let down, frustrated, and deeply disappointed. I strongly urge others to think twice before booking with Egypt Air to avoid the stress, financial loss, and outright disregard for customer care that we experienced.
