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

Boarding – Our flight was delayed from 12:45 am to 2 am. I’m not sure what was the reason for it.

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...

    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 !
