Personal and carry-on Baggage

Egyptair allows passengers to bring one piece of carry-on baggage and one personal item onboard their flights. The carry-on baggage must not exceed 55cm x 40cm x 20cm and weigh no more than 8kg. The individual item must fit under the seat in front of the passenger and can include a purse, laptop bag, or small backpack.

Passengers can also bring items such as jackets, umbrellas, and duty-free purchases onboard their flights, in addition to their carry-on baggage and personal thing. However, it is essential to note that any liquids, gels, or aerosols brought onboard must be placed in a clear plastic bag with a maximum one-liter capacity. Each container must not exceed 100ml. Egyptair allows one carry-on bag for the infant's necessities, such as diapers and formula, for infants traveling with infants. If a passenger's carry-on baggage exceeds the permitted dimensions or weight, it may be checked in as checked baggage at the airport counter.

Checked Baggage

Egyptair's checked baggage policy varies depending on the travel class and route. Passengers can check the exact baggage allowance for their flight on Egyptair's website or by contacting customer service.

For flights to/from the Americas, Egyptair allows passengers in Economy Class to bring two pieces of checked baggage weighing up to 23kg. Passengers in Business Class are allowed two pieces of checked baggage, each weighing up to 32kg.
