RONever use this airline again Last year on 11.12.2023 I bought 2 tickets for my and my friend from a travelling website for the route Budapest-Cairo-Nartita with departure on 13.04 and return on the same route on 26.04 Narita-Cairo-Budapest, with EgyptAir. The payment was confirmed, the tickets were confirmed and I received the confirmations from the Amadeus system. I flew to NRT without any problems, but at return on 24.04 from Narita Airport Japan, I had a BIG surprise. Even though I paid for the 2 tickets, at the return check-in desk I was surprised to find out that my name no longer appears in the database and that it has been deleted/erased. Why it was erased and for what reason it was deleted, NRT Airport EgyptAir supervisors, were not able to tell me. They just said sorry, but my check-in is not possible for me and I can't board on the plane, and to contact the company from where I bought the ticket. I mention that my friend with whom I traveled and with whom I bought the tickets together was able to check in without problems. Why I couldn't, it is a mystery for me. I'm traveling for more than 30 years, but this never happened to me before. I contacted travelling website where I bought the ticket, but they told me that they can't do the rebooking so quickly and I need to contact the airline. I was in an emergency situation and I didn't received a solution to my problem. The ground employees from the check-in desk told me that the plane was full (which later turned out to be a lie because I counted at least 6 available seats close to the seat where I stayed), but a seat is available from a traveler who can no longer board and I can buy a return ticket. They did not apologize for the situation, they simply offered me to buy another ticket in value of 194750 Yen (roughly 1150 Euros/or 1230 USD), which I had to buy again, (even if I had already paid for the return ticket anyway, as I mentioned before). I had to be at the office on Monday morning, so I couldn't afford to waste my time in Tokyo. I felt cheated and robbed by this miserable airline company without any explanation. Basically I had to pay twice for the return trip, but the second time many times more. Practically, I had to make an emergency expense, being forced by circumstances during a flight travel, where my permission of flight was denied without any reason or explanation. In conclusion the airline refused to bring me to my destination, even if everything was paid and confirmed. I will never fly with this miserable airline again and I will make sure that none of my friends and acquaintances will. In addition to the fact that I was charged abusively, both return planes had been delayed.

GBStay away at ALL costs I give one star, because you can't give zero stars They make it impossible to get a human being, on purpose (saves them $$) and they don't respond to emails Thier "customer service " is a joke I am currently stuck in Egypt, their website won't let me download my tickets - wr are supposed to leave tomorrow and their "customer service hotline- is an answering machine message that says they are closed.... Stay away at all costs

GBGB - JNB and return After reading the reviews, I was quite discouraged from using this airline despite knowing someone that had flown multiple times with no problems but booked for the rates anyway. Flights were on time, luggage arrived safely - we opted to wrap our luggage bags quite thoroughly to avoid any damage but all was well and we were happy with the overall experience. 1 short star for the meals, weren't the best but doable.

GBSharks! As they refuse to offer the promised refund I turned to my credt card company. What a bunch of sharks! They don't deserve 1-star, but we can't give them less. They finally agreed that we were entitled to a refund for being downgraded when an Economy-only aircraft was substituted for our scheduled aircraft with a Business Class cabin and gave me the e-mail address of the London office to claim it. The e-mail was ignored, the follow-up letter was ignored, the report to the laughably-named 'We Care' (they really, really don't, so this title is world-class hypocrisy) was ignored. Therefore I put in a Section 75 claim to my credit card company. They have now refunded the difference, 'unless Egyptair prove that I'm not entitled to it, or refund me themselves'. They can't do the first and seem determined not to do the second. But how are these dishonest bandits allowed to be members of Star Alliance, which consists of otherwise reputable airlines? Never again with Egyptair, never, never.
