Dry airline?! I didn't know that!!...Thanks for that....we are flying J Ist to Cai next month than Cai to Asw, Lxr to Cai, Cai to Amm in Y ....my expectations re lounge in Cairo are now dashed. In Nov we have a 6 hour transit in Cai en route to Kgl so unfortunately we will be seeing a lot of Cairo airport and Egypt Air this year.

i wonder it you have enough time to leave the airport and go to a hotel for a couple hours? There are some not too far from the airport, and some with a pool. It might be more relaxing than 6 hours at CAI airport!

Some of Egyptair’s domestic economy is really tight seating wise. We flew business class for the domestic sectors and it was well worth the additional cost.

The domestic flights are about an hour so I think we will survive in Y (just) :). I'm not sure I can be bothered clearing immigration etc during our 6 hour layover in Cairo in Nov...if I can find a comfy chair and snooze I'll be happy....I could have chosen a 2 hour transit time in Cairo (Ist--Cai-Kgl), but opted for the longer transit in case of delays as we can't miss the flight to Kigali....we have a very important ( and expensive) date with the Mountain Gorillas in Rwanda!
 
Business class starts at row 8?

Yes, there is a 'good' reason, which was discussed somewhere here not long ago. I got a whY PB for row 40-odd in a A220 from memory and wondered where I'd be sitting!

You're a brave man flying MS. Wouldn't fly them for free.

They are a lot better than they used to be, with joining Star Alliance. Not my first choice, but OK for me now.
