Everything is smooth and good. While cabin crew didn't wake me up for food. When I got up I asked for my meal then they simply replied I was sleep due to that reason they did not wake me up. In that case I suggest they must keep stickers to place on top wake up or DnD.

It was very exlent flight and thanks a lot kayak

As always Emirates is always dependent on the crew you get on the day and today was a good one. Everyone knew what they were doing and gracefully without hesitation . Great conversation all round even about the food and wine.

Very bad service and food variety will never come back again

Flight was cancelled without notification. Information on flight status was not available on Emirates's website.

Everything was perfect. Staff were informative and professional and flight boarding, flying and de-embarking was smooth. I would certainly travel with Emirates again.

My baby was with me it was really good experience with emirates

Fantastic as ever. Great staff super catering and excellent service.

I didn't travel from the start I changed my ticket long time ago

Not that good The crew in the plane were rim professional & almost lost in their work distribution

During the direct flight to egypt with egyptair the crew was very rude and forced me to accept food when i had asked if they had juice because i was not hungry and did not want the food he just yelled and gave me the food and so i asked my husband to ask him in arabic to take the food back because i did not ask for this and he told my husband to keep the food my husband is palestianian jordanian and i am irish american so clearly some discrimination towards me took part here not my husband as he respected my husband in his tone , i had been to egypt alone before and other parts of the middle east alone long before i met my husband and i have traveled with my family since a baby by plane for extra perspective as half my family is upstate new york and the other half texas . So every year of my life on planes before solo traveling and this is the only time my entire life i was given by force food on a plane by a flight attendant and yelled at to keep the food and felt unsafe the entire flight to egypt and the entire return flight from egypt because the plane was not the best quality and the return flight the entire flight the air conditioning among other things did not work . I will definitely try my best to find other options in future travels to egypt as i love egypt and loved egypt long before being married to my husband and i will be back even if alone .

Hello, I did not take the flight from IAD to Cairo- Istanbul on July 14 and could not travel because my next flight was from Istanbul to Tehran. Due to the tension there, I was advised to not to travel. Indeed, I was at the IAD airport at the boarding time 9am, on july 14, I informed egypt air counter head then that I am not taking the flight to Cairo and istanbul!, the team head gave me the contact of local office of egyptair in vienna, VA but they were not in the office on July 14 and I left three voice messages and email explaining my situation to them, but no reply came back from Egyptair Virginia office yet.!! I then informed underpricer customer support on whatsup about the situation and there auto reply sustem said that the support team would call to arrange for rescheduling or refund. but no one contact me yet. Can you provide proper support ?? Thank you Alaa Mohseni B 703655 1662 conf no. CYFFHW

Overall it was a good flight like any other normal flight staff could a littler nicer pretty short and was their to do their job so overall good services can’t complain

The experience exceeded my expectations and reflected the significant progress.

My flight was great. Service by the crew was great. Only issue I had wss it got extremely warm mid way thru the flight. To the point it was a little uncomfortable

As usual, the flight was late with the typical excuse of "a technical issue beyond our control." This is the same excuse they use every late flight which is EVERY flight.

To be honest, there has been a significant improvement in the level of EgyptAir in terms of service and food quality.

Flight was delayed for 3 hrs and there is nothing at the terminal except going back through security again. Food was offered but no vegetarian option

The worst experience ever, me and my little daughter suffered a lot on this trip. If there is zero or below-zero evaluation, definitely, I will give them.

I have been traveling for over 30 years, and this was THE worst experience ever. The guy that was checking in at Dubai, didn’t have any professionalism or curtesy. During the flight, You had to wait a while just to get something to drink. They didn’t transfer all my luggage, even after they made me pay $155 extra for one small gallon of Zamzam water, and that luggage is still missing after three days of my arrival. NEVER AGAIN..,
