How reliable are EgyptAir flights to Egypt — are delays and turn-backs common?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 23 days ago
TL;DR
Travelers report that EgyptAir can have delays, and in one discussed case a plane reportedly returned to Vnukovo because of a technical issue. Some complaints are about onboard service rather than safety, including water service and general passenger experience.
What the community said
In the most recent discussion, travelers noted that reviews of EgyptAir often mix serious issues with minor service complaints: delayed departures, no complimentary bottle of water, and unfriendly service when deplaning. So part of the negative feedback is about onboard service rather than the flight operation itself.

About a week earlier, a traveler said they were mainly stressed about an EgyptAir flight booked through the tour operator Fun&Sun. This suggests that for package tourists, the main concern may be the flight itself rather than the hotel.

In an earlier message, travelers referred to reviews describing cases where an EgyptAir aircraft reportedly had engine trouble and returned to Vnukovo. That does not sound like an everyday occurrence, but such incidents strongly affect how people view the airline’s reliability.
