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.
