This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that’s the way I like it!

fantastic video as usual! Was curious if you had any budget or reasonably priced recommendations for Japan specifically Toyko
awesome job! i was always watching your videos in the summer. you have the best in-depth videos, and your voice is relaxing compared to those hyped up flight reviews.
Good review. Quite an expensive route, in Business. Think I'd choose Emirates. But I liked the multi-pass food service; no worrying about the main getting cold while tackling the salad.
When I worked on my last flight in 2002, this is what the hard product looked like and dare I say…the catering then even looked better. I guess the low expectations you had, made for an unexpected decent experience. Interesting watch though, felt like a blast from the past! Thank you for this review, so I can make an informed decision in case they show up on my radar on one of my future destinations…I think I’ll pass 😅
Flew EgyptAir business on their A330-300 from Cairo to Johannesburg about a month ago. I fully agree that it was better than expected. Not impressive but also not as bad as other reviews may have you believe.
The lounge in Cairo was a disaster and my wife and I left after 15 minutes. Poor food offerings, uncomfortable chairs, and loud TVs playing different stations.
Do the crew know you are filming?
“It could always be worse “ is my mantra 😅. Not too shabby of a flight, looking forward to your scathing review of Cairo airport 🎉
Lovely review as always! EgyptAir uses a bunch of aircraft for this route, personally I do this segment 2 times a year, and it ranges from an A321neo to a B777-300ER and their beautiful new 787s. Something to note though, Egyptair's cash fares are usually ridiculous for this route and can sometimes can be the same as Emirates during the summer season. Also that blanket gives me a lot of memories, I probably have 20 of that stashed in my closet. lol.
Also, tip on Cairo International: Walk into terminal 2 if you can, it is a lot more cleaner, organized and generally better plus it has a proper priority pass lounge that is 10x better than whatever Egyptair offers in T3. (and for the clock thing it's been a while since Egypt observed DST and was just passed in 2023 after they abandoned it in 2015, the entire country was ah…)
Hmmm…Dry airline, prayers and dirty loos – NOPE! Thanks for saving us Kevin!
Congrats on reaching 100k Kevin. Well deserved. I’ve done Egypt air a couple of times and didn’t like it one bit. I guess I’m spoiled with all the other great Middle East Carriers. But if it’s cheap I may try it again. Thanks for the great review.
Outstanding as always, Kevin. You are truly an outstanding travel vlogger. I sincerely appreciate your amazing work. Thank you.
Well done.
I am so curious about that next flight now LMAO
Good honest report
I am waiting in suspense for the next video!
With the abundance of low J fares from CAI to East Asia and the US i was happy to put up with it a couple of times last year
Always love watching Kevin,,,,,peace and happiness on your travels 😊😊😊😊😊
Thank You ✈️
Egypt Air used to be a price cracker for Europe-Bangkok flights.
Just checked: Bangkok is not more on their shedule ! What happened?
"From JFK to HND on Japan Airlines"(?)
Interesting, they give eco passengers that same Amenity Kit on flights to London
Always remember a CAI to BAH flight on Egypt Air on a B737-200 many years ago. I was invited to the flight deck for landing to witness the Capt. hit the First Officer violently several times for some issue with the pressurisation. Not done humorously. I'm sure the F.O.'s arm would be bruised later.
Thanks for covering Egypt Air in your review – always wanted to know about it.
The food options served in the First Class lounge looks amazing!
Great video as Always – Some Wonderful music in there too helping to set the scene…Perfect. Thanks
Oh my gosh. That was a terrible business class flight.
Yela yela Habib'i 😂😂😂😂
I don’t think toilets on Egyptair have ever been clean – it’s just not a priority -?it’s a place for dirty business 😶departure day sounds just about right – last time I was there it took 3 hours to clear everything before arriving at the lounge .. the Lounge lol
