Egyptair Passenger Rights
Whenever you take an Egyptair flight that departs from an EU or UK airport, you will be protected by the laws of these regions.
The specific regulations we’re referring to are EU261 and UK261. Practically identical, these sets of rules will protect you in the case of flight disruptions including flight delays, cancellations, and denied boarding. The amount of compensation you get will depend upon the distance of your Egyptair flight and the amount of time you are delayed.
Another factor that determines compensation is culpability. If the airline is to blame for disrupted flight, then you may be eligible for compensation. Otherwise, you can still expect:
- A refund
- A rescheduled flight
- Care and assistance
Egyptair UK261/EU261 Compensation | ||
Flight Delays | Flight Cancellations | Denied Boarding |
Up to $650/€600 in compensation Care & Assistance | Up to $650/€600 in compensation Rebooked flight OR Refund Care & Assistance | Up to $650/€600 in compensation Rebooked flight OR Refund Care & Assistance |
Egyptair Flight Delay Compensation
Flight delay compensation is owed to passengers who experience a delay of 3 or more hours at their final destination. The exception to this EU and UK rule is if the delay was caused by extraordinary circumstances, in which case you will not be eligible for cash compensation. Care and assistance should still be offered to you however, even if external factors caused the delay.

Egyptair Canceled Flight Compensation
Egyptair is required to pay you flight cancellation compensation when:
- You were informed less than 2 weeks before departure and
- When the cancellation was the airline’s fault
At the same time, you can always expect to be offered a choice of a refund or a rebooked flight. Regulations also require the airline to provide you with care and assistance if you choose an alternate flight that makes you wait at the airport. If you have a delay until the following day, then you should also be offered an overnight hotel stay and transport to and from the accommodation.

Egyptair Refunds
Anytime you have a canceled flight with Egyptair that was scheduled to depart from an EU or UK airport, you should be offered a refund. Similarly, if you encounter a delay that exceeds 5 hours, then you are also entitled to a refund. Remember, you could still be able to get cash compensation from Egyptair in addition to your refund!
Denied Boarding & Missed Connections
Denied boarding and missed connections are both situations covered by EU and UK regulations. If you’re denied boarding from an oversold flight or if you missed your connecting flight because of an earlier Egyptair flight disruption, then you could be eligible for compensation in addition to any care and assistance, refund, or rebooking.
Egyptair Compensation: How Much Can You Get
The precise amount of compensation you receive is decided based on the amount of time you were delayed at your final destination and the total distance of your affected flight. The following table will give you a better idea of what to expect.
Egyptair Compensation | |||
Delay Time | Flight Distance | ||
Flights under 1,500km | Flights between 1,500-3,500km | Flights over 3,500km | |
Over 3 hours | £220/€250 | £350/€400 | $650/€600* |
Under 3 hours | €0 | ||
* Egyptair might try to reduce this amount by as much as 50%, but AirAdvisor always works to get the full amount.

- Dangerous weather
- Air Traffic Control Restrictions

People Also Ask
Are Egyptair vouchers as good as a refund? Should you accept them if they’re offered?
If you’re offered a voucher, be sure to read the fine print and understand the details of what you’re accepting. Each airline has their own policies, but sometimes vouchers can eliminate your chances of claiming compensation. They also tend to have prohibitive restrictions with short expiry dates. Bottom line, be careful about vouchers.
How can you tell what caused an Egyptair flight to be canceled?
The first thing you should do is ask the airline staff for information. You can also check other flights in the airport to see if there is a bigger, airport-related issue at play. You can also check this article all about how to determine the causes of flight cancellations.
What do you do if Egyptair loses your baggage?
If your baggage is missing, the first thing you should do is file a report before you leave the airport. They will give you a tracking number so you can follow the status of your luggage. You can also learn how much baggage compensation you can receive in this article about baggage mishandling.
