Hi all,
Below are pictures from my flight from Cairo to Toronto:
Security control from the arrival level to the international level
At the international section. There are some shops in the central patrt of the terminal but there is nothing in the 2 long corridors that have the gates to the left and right of the terminal
A look back at the security from the check in area
Back at the centre of the terminal and shops
Boarding – Our flight was delayed from 12:45 am to 2 am. I’m not sure what was the reason for it.
The security entrance to our gate
After a long boarding, the plane was 100% full again and we took off and flew over the Nile delta
Then shortly dinner was served, I chose the beef which tasted good
There was no mid-flight snack and close to Montreal they served breakfast, which was good tasting as well

Thanks for this report.
There is something old fashioned with Egyptair but I can name it , is it the seat covers ? the uniforms ? .
Globally you flight was good, even though a midflight snack would have been great on such a long journey. The meals are correct for economy and the quantity served looks fine.
It must have been quite a contrast in temperatures between Cairo and Toronto !
Thanks Skyteamchc. Yes, You are right. I think the seat covers are abot old school that's why it gives an old look to the plane. Actually Cairo was not too warm and at night in winter sometimes the temperature goes down to 5 degrees C which is still cool and Toronto at that time was about -10 C :)
Thanks for sharing your flight. It's a pretty long flight. It looks fine though, the meal is good quantity wise as well, at least the first one.
Last time I was at the Egyptair Terminal in Cairo I found the airport extremely overcrowded, not airy, little windows, and people smoking really everywhere. That may be the reason they have no no smoking signs actually pending from the ceiling everywhere. never saw so many no smoking signs in an airport as on your pictures :) Hope it helps...
Thank you Reifel. Wow interesting about the No Smoking signs as I did not pay attention since there were smoking rooms and people used to smoke there and thankfully not in the terminal building.
If I was deciding whether to fly Egyptair,I certainly cannot wait after reading this lovely report ! My trip is likely to be on the 777-300 from/to London Heathrow ! Thanks for a lovely report !
Thanks very much. Yes, their 777 seats are very comfortable and I really enjoyed flying with them. You should try them for sure.
Can't wait !
