Recent feedback on an Air Cairo return flight (July): good meal, plus juice; departure was delayed about 40 minutes but the time was made up during the flight.
Air Cairo — 40-min delay, made up in flight
On an Al Masria outbound flight (to Cairo), departure was exactly on time; the snack was a hotdog-style bun with smoked chicken or local carbonat-style meat, plus a small pack of orange juice.
Al Masria — chicken/carbonat bun and juice
Al Masria includes a small snack for all passengers: two mini sandwiches, water, juice, and tea or coffee. However, baggage allowance is strict — even carry-on luggage is weighed.
Al Masria — snack included, strict baggage policy
Air Cairo's meal service depends on the flight number. Flights starting with 9 reportedly include a hot meal, while those starting with 7 may not — or vice versa. Worth checking when booking.
Air Cairo — meal depends on flight number series
On a Cairo-to-Sharm flight with Cairo Air, baggage allowance was generous and the meal was decent, though the flight was delayed by about 40 minutes. The return leg with Al Masria was notably worse — a dry sandwich, one soda, and paid instant coffee offered throughout.
