Egypt Air is the 6th oldest airline worldwide established on 1932 ,even older than the state of UAE itself.
UAE economy with 1 million local population is bigger then Egyptian economy with 100 million population. There is no need to compare this way :)
@Mr.3bood هو ما قلل من الامارات هو قال معلومة صحيحة بس
ليه تزعلوا احنا اخوات و نحبكم جدًا و اكيد مش قصدوا يقلل من بلد جميلة زي الإمارات. 🇪🇬❤️🇦🇪
لم يقلل من شأن الامارات الحبيبة بل كانت من وچه المقارنة فقط
@@SpideYDxB UAE is oil country and population 9.8 millionnot one million
The meal look good, I frequently travel from Dulles International Airport to San Salvador with United and they offer coke and pretzel
Really great to see you back David. You and Felix do a great job. Egypt Air is trying, and the meals looked appetising. Hopefully they can serve meals in re-useable dishes, and make other refinements, as you mentioned. Compared to meals on U.S. airlines, Egypt Air is well ahead. Personally, I would give Egypt Air an 8 out of 10 based on your review.
In the age of Covid-19 I think it was 100% wise for them to use the plastic utensils at least they get thrown away rather than use real utensils that get washed.
My concern is...... what if they don't get washed properly.
Reusable dishes and cutlery had a history of getting stolen, that's probably why they don't use them much.
Actually EgyptAir has its own plastic factory to serve its own aircraft's and its more safety for covid 19
They only switched to single-use plastics after covid. Never had them before. Based on travelling with them for the past 9 years. I assume they plan to go back to their reusable dishes once there is less concern around the virus.
Полный отстой этот ЕжиптАйр!!🤣🌺🤣
Love the review! Keep it going…I just have a comment regarding the disposable food trays Egyptair uses, it is actually intentional as a covid-19 precautionary measure to fight the virus spread, not a matter of neglect. Which in turns makes me as a passenger more assured of their overall hygiene. Well done on the review.
Brutally Honest is back! :)
Yes
It's getting back to normal again. All is well :)
@@RidwanGosal Nature is healing :)
Great to see Brutally Honest back! Keep up the good work David and Felix!
Egypt Air has been around since the 1930s.... it had ups and downs for decades . i think they are doing a move now but not planning to hit in the higher niche ...it rather wishes to becomi the good economy option that focuses on tourism especially regular groups> thats a big market that can give a return on investments in a step by step policy. i really apreciated your remarks on the unclean windows and limited media content...i always complain from it too and i think you were trying to give them a waiver with the desert excuse :) emirates and qatar air come from the desert too !! i guess its rather cutting costs and mismanagement
however they are very reliable and dependable in their operations and i hardly suffered from delays..lost luggagge.. etc over 40 years of travelling with them. they also offer a wide coverage and have great offers on longhaul flights to East Asia Africa and the US
After having not flown in such a long time. I didn't think one of the things I miss so much was the roar of the engines. Thank you for the video. Do stay safe in your travels!
I've been waiting the return of this series. Glad to get it back. Keep it going :)
this is my fav airline channel great job glad yall back one love
That GTF sound when they spool up for takeoff is also made during approach for some reason, I hear it all the time at SEA with DL flying so many of them into here lately. Great video!
Fly every year with Egypt air .I like the food on board and they have new planes
Amazing video as always and I’m so glad this series is back!😸
I LOVE BRUTALLY HONEST! BEST PART OF THE CHANNEL AND BEST FLIGHT REPORTS
Can't wait for more Brutally Honest! It's one of the best series! Also glad to see you're finally back!
Awesome. New Equipment works rly fine. Good job david and crew. This is next level. Thumbs up
We flew EgyptAir from Cairo to Luxor, and then from Aswan to Cairo. The only complaint I had is I felt cramped in economy class and the seat was not comfortable. But then I was suffering from a lower back pain and painful leg muscles from riding a camel and walking down into the Red Pyramid. One of our party upgraded to first class and met Zawi Hawas. The best plane experience we had on that trip was the flight with Air France, from Charles de Gaulle to Cairo. That was some seriously good food and wine served in economy class.
I love this format, you have even improved the narration of the video with the voice-over, and you seem more confident when you speak. All in all a great comeback !!
Your videos are amazing bro, and I am really glad that brutally honest is back! keep it up man! 👍
Really stoked to see the return of this series!!!
Egypt did a great job in the last 5 years
I'm happy to hear this report on Egypt Air. I fly the airline frequently, especially domestically. All the remarks you made were ones I also have noticed. I'd like to see if their service has improved on their long haul flights, for example to North America. They were well known to be a 'less desirable' option for many reasons, but not serving alcohol was a noticeable one. Thanks for your review and keeping it real without sponsors. Happy flying!
They dont serve alcohol because Egypt is a Muslim country.
I live in London and would chose Egyptair any day over BritishAirways or a European carrier. Egyptair renewed their fleet recently and are trying to improve the service. I appreciate the extra luggage and not having extra charges here and there i.e. luggage, meals. When it comes to flexibility and changes, if you need to change economy tickets dates, it is far cheaper than getting ripped off paying admin charges plus the any additional tickets costs on European carriers.
Thank you for bringing this series back
Thank you for the trial Flight on Egypt Air on of the oldest corporate in the history with a great experience and condider the Safety is the first in its policy
First David let me say I’m so glad you brought back brutally honest! The one comment I will make is you would never get that kind of a meal on a domestic US flight. You should do a brutally honest episode on what American Airlines is serving now. You would be appalled 😱. Thanks for this review and I look forward to many more!❤️👍✈️
Why
I wouldn’t had even minded a sponsorship, but your approach to sponsors in today’s climate is refreshing.
Keep up the great content Felix and David.
Brutually Honest First Class on Singapore Airlines A380
Quite expensive. I went on Singapore airlines from Singapore to Brisbane via Economy class and costed me a bit over $1000. First class could probably be 10x the price
You know brutally honest doesn’t have to be bad right
Love to see this series back on your channel.
And let's all take a moment to appreciate the effort that goes into making this kind of content.
Love you guys
Dear David, wonderful video. I enjoy watching your videos. Thank you for cheering my day.
This channel is sponsored by YOU "no shady VPN companies or build your own web site things" Not selling out to is what makes Simply Aviation 100% AVIATION!
While others were grounded due to Covid, Simply Aviation gave us a new video every week, all recorded before the pandemic, these guys plan and prepare so well.
Almost 500k subscribers, all home grown with no messages from "our sponsors" Felix and David, great to see you both back in the sky again, I`m super excited.
Just became a channel member, my choice and my way of saying thanks to Simply Aviation. love the new voice over, saves you typing Good Bye Austria :D
Thank you so much for your kind words and you support, Andrew! :D It means the world to us!
Great to see this series return!
Of all the travel reviewers, Brutally Honest is the only one I looked forward to resuming. I also see that the issue of cleaning up in the EgyptAir lounges has still not been addressed since I last used Cairo Airport a few years ago. The irony is that the public areas are still actually much cleaner than the lounges!
Nice for Brutally Honest reviews to be back. I also like the new format, most especially the "background" narration style as well as the graphics. Keep it up!
I spent three years working seasonally in Egypt during my degree (archaeo). I found that EgyptAir was pretty much the only way to get around the country that wasn't a complete omnishambles. My noble intentions of seeing more of the country and saving the environment by using rail went straight out the window when I realised that EgyptAir Express (as was) was so damn practical and convenient compared to literally everything else on offer. They did the job, and that in itself was a big win.
I sat as far back as you did on the A220 when I flew it with AC back in August, but my seat number was 25A
So glad that this series is back....
i have been in a flight with egyptair from the netherlands to cairo and than to Dubai and the flight was pretty good
Eyy lets gooo this series is one of my fav keep it up!
Brutally honest is back and better for good 👍 so nice 👍 to you my brother David…. It’s simply aviation for the avgeek i must say i love that sound whenever an expectation has been met ..
Ah finally! Nice to see that brutally honest is back. The 787 and the a220 have quite similar noses and cockpit windows, don't you think?
The food was great, appealing, and sounded delicious, but I agree that Egyptair has to do something about the containers, crockery and cutlery... All in all a great flight review! :) :D
Super glad that the brutally honest series is back and great job on the review David! Will you guys be bringing back the community poll to ask viewers for their expectations? Once again am buzzing brutally honest is finally back!
“All in all” a good video
Looks live i have to wait next friday for the next episode
Glad to see Brutally Honest Return, I was waiting for this day to come, the series was an amazing idea on the channel and you review airlines very accurately. You really are the best airlines reviewing channel. Keep up the good work and Kudos to David and Felix :D
We all missed David’s Brutality Honest welcome back 👍🛫
Yes Darling David, your video is good and informative as always...Btw The Meal looks delicious though.. 😋
Can’t believe the best series is back 😭😭
Thanks alot for making this video for our home country flag carrier Egypt air 🇪🇬❤👍🏼
I really love this channel for they are not boxed in that limited set of 5-6 popular airlines. The wide range of airlines covered is the single most important USP of this channel.
I am so glad you are back 👍😀🔙💯
Great video, and welcome back.
Very nicely done mate!
You can avoid some nightmare transit flights after watching some of these videos, good work man
Glad to see you back with Brutally Honest! I missed them! I did not realize you hadn't done one since the pandemic started. It was good to see some regular trip reports, though, during this time. I'm sure once things get more normal again, they will do away with the single use plastic. Keep up the good work!
You should try Yemenia, Syrian Air, Iraqi Airways and Libyan Airlines..somehow i'm more interested to these rarely heard airlines in middle east region
Sudan airways
Afriqiyah
@@Enceladus2106 Afriqiyah Fleet size 14
Destinations 14😂
Oh please don't try Yemenia - I beg you don't 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
One of the worst airline in the world - I know so and have experienced it.
Trust me lad. I do know.
That's the best product placement I have ever seen!
The only non middle east airline which we can compare with emirates, etihad or qatar is turkish airlines. Because they have a very young fleet also a brand new airport with a very very good lounge. Also there inflight entertainment system is world class. They have a very good catering partner with turkish do&co. And a very very professionel crew. Which to see a brutally honest review of them. 🙈
david i love the brutally honest and all we love it
Hi David, What was the name of the lounge in Cairo that you visited? I believe they have 2 in terminal 3.
I guess that the plastic containers thing is related to Covid restrictions. I flew Egypt Air a lot as an Egyptian myself.
I assume it’s a decent airliner. The cabin crew are helpful. The pilots are so professional with a very high safty record.
What comes from the cons side from my view are:
1) The cabin crew typically speak Arabic and English, sometimes French also, not a wide variety of languages like the case in Emirates. But, this is something about Emirates that all the crew members are expats from around the world.
2) The lavatory hygiene is not the best.
3) The meals are not changing a lot from a destination to the other considering the different tastes of guests from different countries.
4) This is very important, you won’t find huge difference in QoS between economy and business class despite the huge difference in the price.
Great video. Continue the good work.
.
Glad you're back! You should try out Hawaiian Airlines again - they were so bad when we flew 3 weeks ago! I was so looking forward to my first trip to Hawaii in over 30 years - it could have really ruined my trip if I had let it - they need to be called out for horrible service and disgusting food. And don't even think about asking for a pillow and blanket if you are not in first class - you will get the "UGH" service - trust me you need to try them again...........
Welcome back Brutally Honest. 6th freedom flight on same airline but different aircraft.
Yes! More of this please
I loooooove your UA-cam channel and am really addicted to watching all these videos! I haven't flown in like 7 years so barely know anything about the A220 type of Airbus, it seems really quite to me compared to the 737-800. I assume it's like a short>>medium haul plane? Keep these vids coming please! 🙂
There’s a specific desk in terminal 3 that you ask for during check in and if there’s business class seats you pay approximately $280 dollars
I did, but they said I have to ask at the gate. And then at the gate they said, they only accepted Visa and Mastercard. It was very odd and everyone seemed very confused about me asking to pay for an upgrade.
Thank you 🙏….and sharing you video with the right person on Egypt air …hopefully they can work on (-) side you had mentioned..thank u again
I flew then from Cairo to Aswan, and then to Dubai. I didn’t expect too much, but they were ok on the national flights and surprisingly good on the Cairo-Dubai leg. Food was very, the only downside is that they don’t offer alcohol.
Nice egypt new aircrafts but our cebu pacific nice too we have A321neo and A320neo And soon to arrived our new Airbus A330neo in our cebu pacific new aircraft
Glad you try egypt air, hope you enjoy your flight😊
I've flown with EgyptAir for years in the 90s and 2000s and your meals look different to what I'm used to: they always taste great (salad is not always the freshest cut vegetables but otherwise is excellent). Usually everything on the tray except the cutlery and the hot food container is reusable. The hot food container was some sort of metal which is recyclable. I wonder if this is a feature of the pandemic since these boxes have full lids?
Its not really a middle eastern airline its an African airline :) i actually thinking of going to turkey via cairo with Egypt air
Both african and middle eastern
Hey, from November to January is Iceland Air flying from Punta arenas to the Arctic. But the price is i think about 40- 44.000 dollers
I absolutely love your channel
This is an amazing video! Please keep making this series!
Yesss u are talking and showing ur self in da vid!!!
The Cheese they gave you is called La vache qui rit, (the laughing Cow) and it is a morrocan brand of cheese! Was so amazed to see it on an egypltian flight!
It's popular in Belgium too
Just loved it!!! Thanks for the efforts you take for showing us the airline❤
Hey Simply Avation I'm Aser and I'm Egyptian I always to travel to Egypt one time I traveled with Egyptair I hope you enjoy your flight 😊😊😊
Next time you can fly with El Al to Israel which has just been opened to tourists?
I am flying this on Jan 29th from Toronto to Dubai, on Business class - hope I enjoy it. B787-9
Awsome! Plz also make a trip report of Biman Bangladesh Airlines…👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I'll be flying from New York to Cairo on EgyptAir and I'm concerned because I have animal allergies and I know they allow pets in the cabin. How many if any people had pet carriers on board your flight?
Idk why a lot of people go really hard on Egypt Air, they're not bad for a government airline. If only they had the same ambition of their neighboring gulf carriers though and manage their online experience, cabin maintenance and such. Cairo would very easily turn to a global hub.
My Fav series is back
Interesting, thank you. I shied away from Egypt Air a couple of times going from Frankfurt to Dubai. Business Class at Egypt is the same price as PremEco with Lufthansa.
LH beats the offer with a direct connection, but I am starting to avoid LH these days.
Excellent report!👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hi David
How do you make the moving expectation met at 11:32?
Very nice video, welcome back. I still like it when your words are written on the screen but i guess you can do both, i.e both voice over and written words on the screen...
Thanks This made me feel better!
tomorrow i'm flying from munic to dubai over cairo with egyptair and i'm scared of flights so i'm watching this hahaha
Finally after a long time, BRUTALLY HONEST is back!
Thank you very much for this trip report
Please also make trip report of Qatar airways business class. If you can make it
Just curious, I noticed that you almost always pick the 30th seat in your videos!
Why such preference?
Brutally honest is my favourite
Lovely review of Egyptair David and I enjoyed the introduction too! Looking forward to some Brutally Honest reviews of some South East Asian airlines 😃
Your videos is always super and awesome 👍So can you make a video on Indian airlines like Air India and etc.
The most important isn’t buying fancy planes, it’s maintaining what they have. If they don’t, their new aircrafts wil turn into old ones in no time.
Nice video and with price info. Good!
