Which UK airports does EgyptAir fly from?

EgyptAir flies non-stop to Cairo from London Heathrow Terminal 2, with up to three flights a day, and from Manchester Terminal 2 with daily flights. From 25 October 2026 it also flies from Birmingham, four times a week. All UK flights land at Cairo International Airport, EgyptAir's hub, where you can connect to the rest of its network.

How long is the flight from London to Cairo?

The non-stop flight from London Heathrow to Cairo takes about 5 hours, and from Manchester about 5 hours 15 minutes. Egypt is 2 hours ahead of the UK for most of the year.

What is the EgyptAir baggage allowance?

In Economy you can take one cabin bag of up to 8kg and 55 x 40 x 23 cm, and in Business Class two. On flights between the UK and Egypt, every Economy fare includes two 23kg checked bags, and Business Class includes two 32kg bags. Each checked bag can measure up to 158 cm in total (length + width + height).

What is the difference between Best Offer, Good Deal and Economy Flex?

They are EgyptAir's three Economy fares, and all of them include two 23kg bags on international flights. Best Offer is the cheapest and earns 25% to 50% of EgyptAir Plus miles, while Good Deal earns full miles. On both, choosing a seat costs extra, and you can change your flight up to 24 hours before departure or get a refund, but a fee applies. Economy Flex adds a free seat, changes with no change fee, refunds with no refund fee and 150% miles.

Do I need a visa to visit Egypt?

Yes, British citizens normally need a visa. You can apply online for an e-visa before you travel, or buy a visa on arrival at approved airports for US$30 in cash, valid for up to 30 days. At Cairo airport you can also pay US$36 by card. If you fly into Sharm El Sheikh and stay under 15 days only in Sharm, Dahab, Nuweiba or Taba, you get a free entry stamp instead. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months after you arrive.

Can I fly on to Luxor, Aswan or the Red Sea?

Yes. You can fly from the UK to Cairo and change to an EgyptAir flight to Luxor, Aswan, Sharm El Sheikh or Hurghada on one ticket. These flights take about 1 to 1.5 hours, and Luxor and Aswan have several flights a day. EgyptAir's allowance on domestic routes is one 23kg bag in Economy, so we confirm what applies to each flight on your ticket.

Is alcohol served on EgyptAir flights?

No. EgyptAir is a dry airline, so it doesn't serve alcohol on any flight or in any cabin.

Is EgyptAir flying normally right now?

Most of the EgyptAir network is flying, including London and Manchester to Cairo. In October 2026, EgyptAir suspended its flights to Riyadh after an attack on the airport there, and the FCDO now advises against all but essential travel to Saudi Arabia. As of 19 October 2026, the FCDO does not advise against travel to Cairo, Luxor, Aswan or the Red Sea resorts, but it does advise against travel to North Sinai and some border areas. We check the latest status before you book and again before you fly.
