TRIP REPORT | You Wouldn't Fly a Plane Like This! | EGYPTAIR Boeing 737 | Cairo to Milan

Egyptair Trip Report flying from Cairo to Milan onboard one of the Egyptair Boeing 737 on a beautiful autumn day.

A flight full of contrasts. I guess that's the best way I could describe my experience on this flight with Egyptair. On one hand, we have the onboard service, which is clearly above any European airline in Economy class. On the other hand, we have the status of the plane. It was just terrible. Worse than terrible.

About the onboard service, I was surprised that they offered us a full meal service. Maybe because I got used to the ridiculous service on the European airlines... It was composed of several pieces of "dry" cucumber, chicken, or beef as the main, and a piece of chocolate cake as dessert. A piece of bread together with butter and cheese was also offered. There were 2 drinks offered water and mango juice. Later, they passed through the cabin offering coffee and tea.

I decided to try the chicken option and, once you mixed everything, I must say it was pretty good. Lots of spices there made it really tasty. I was hungry, so I asked if I could get a second one. The crew say that of course, I could, so I had it. The cake was pretty good as well.

About the route itself, we departed from Cairo in a northeasterly direction and quickly made a left turn after takeoff to start our route to Milan. From Cairo, we flew towards Alexandria, then entered the Mediterranean Sea and overflew several Greek Islands on our way to Athens. From there we fler over Greece, Albania, Croatia and, finally, Italy.

Now comes the contrast to all these good things: the plane status.
I think I didn't fly in a plane in such bad conditions in many years. I'm talking about all things not related to safety, of course. The windows were very scratched and dirty, the seats were sometimes broken, there were parts falling from the overhead compartments, and the surface of the wings was extremely dirty...

On top of that, we flew with APU inoperative (Auxiliar Power Unit). It's a little turbine located on the tail that provides electricity and air-con to the plane on the ground. It's also necessary to start the engines. That gave us delay as we had to start one engine with an external machine, then do the pushback, and then start the remaining engine using compressed air from the one that was already running. In the Trip Report I will explain you the main implications of an inoperative APU.

So, as you can see by this description and also on the Trip Report itself, it was a flight full of contrasts. Will I repeat with Egyptair? For sure yes. Their onboard service deserves another try, hopefully on an airplane in better conditions.

Now it is your turn! Have you ever flown with Egyptair? Which route? Onboard which plane? Have you ever seen a cabin in such bad conditions as in this flight? Have you ever been in Cairo? Maybe in Milan? What do you think about the Egyptair onboard service?
Lots of things to talk about! Read you in the comments!
