EgyptAir cancelled the flight but still haven't refunded the ticket 2 months after asking. Don't waste your money or time with this airline.

Followup review:

In addition to my bad experience, they left my bag at the connecting flight. I had to spend more getting a spare change of clothes and utilities.

If toy really have to fly with them, carry a few items to survive in your carry on luggage

Here to express my profound dissatisfaction with my recent experience flying with EgyptAir and transiting through Cairo Airport from Saudi Arabia to Cyprus. The experience was not only frustrating but also deeply concerning for its lack of professionalism and security.
Firstly, the flight from Saudi Arabia was delayed, and no proper announcements or updates about the revised take-off time were made at the boarding gate. This lack of communication caused unnecessary stress and inconvenience for passengers who were left wondering about the status of their flight. Secondly, upon reaching Cyprus, I discovered that my checked luggage had been tampered with during the transit in Cairo. Several personal items were stolen, which is a blatant violation of passenger rights and security standards. It is unacceptable that such incidents occur under the supervision of EgyptAir and Cairo Airport authorities, who are responsible for ensuring the safety and integrity of passengers' belongings.
This experience has left me deeply disappointed and questioning the reliability and professionalism of both EgyptAir and Cairo Airport. It is the airline and airport's duty to ensure timely communication, secure handling of luggage, and respect for passengers' trust. Unfortunately, these basic expectations were not met.
I strongly urge EgyptAir and Cairo Airport to take immediate action to improve their services, enhance security measures, and establish accountability for such incidents. Until such improvements are made, I cannot recommend EgyptAir or Cairo Airport as a reliable choice for travel, especially for those transiting through Cairo. This experience has severely tarnished my trust in your airline and airport services. I hope that you will take these concerns seriously and work towards preventing such incidents in the future.
