Egyptair Cancellation Policy

The Egyptair Cancellation Policy allows you to cancel your ticket and obtain a full refund for all international flights affected or suspended because of COVID-19. You can receive the refund either in the form of a redeemable Travel Voucher or to your original payment method, regardless of what type of fare you’ve purchased.

Major highlights of the Egyptair Cancellation Policy

• If your international Egyptair flight has been affected/suspended due to COVID-19, you can cancel your flight and obtain a full, penalty-free refund:
  • In the form of a Travel Voucher which can use to purchase tickets and services later on Egyptair (for yourself or your first-degree relatives), or
  • To the payment method used by you for purchasing your ticket 
• If your Egyptair flight is cancelled or it fails to operate reasonably per schedule, fails to stop at your stopover point/destination, or causes you to miss a connecting flight (on the same booking) on which you hold a confirmed reservation, you have the option to:
  • Accept the next available flight offered by Egyptair at no additional charge, or 
  • Extend the validity of your ticket and travel later, or 
  • Take another flight to your destination within a reasonable period of time via Egyptair, another airline, or another mutually acceptable mode of transportation at no additional charge 
  • Obtain a full refund for the unused portion of your ticket 
• If you cancel a ticket (any type, incl. non-refundable) within 24 hours of purchase, you are entitled to a full penalty-free refund if you purchase your ticket directly from Egypt Air. If your ticket was issued by a travel agency or another airline, you must contact the issuing source directly through the travel agency or airline. 
• If your flight is delayed by 5 hours or more, you can choose:
  • To be refunded the full cost of the unused portion of your ticket within 7 days (and for the parts of the journey already made if the flight to your destination no longer serves your purpose), and (when relevant)
  • To be booked on the next available return flight to your original point of departure 
• Fully Flex fares can be changed, cancelled, and/or refunded free of charge. Changes are permitted up to 24 hours before departure. Other fares may incur a cancellation fee, depending on the fare type and route.
• If an immediate family dies after you purchase your ticket and within 90 days before you start your trip, you are entitled to a full refund if you cancel your ticket (incl. taxes, fees, surcharges, etc.), subject to the submission of a death certificate.
• If a passenger dies after purchasing a ticket (refundable or non-refundable), a full refund will be made either to the passenger’s estate or through the original form of payment, subject to a valid death certificate.
