Egyptair is the national airline of Egypt. The company was founded in 1932 and is headquartered in Cairo. Egyptair operates from its hub at Cairo International Airport. Egyptair is a member of the Arab Air Carriers Organization and the International Air Transport Association, and has codeshare agreements with 30 other carriers. The company has been a member of SkyTeam since 2000, and it has been a member of Oneworld since 2013.
It is a type of luggage that passengers are allowed to carry along in the plane’s cabin. Each airline has specific rules and dimensions. We recommend checking the list of prohibited and accepted items in the carry-on baggage.
It is also called cargo baggage. Each airline has its own rules for the dimension and free weight allowance. It is not allowed for passengers to keep it in the cabin, yet it is transported in the cargo area of the plane.
If you will travel with your infant, you may bring the baby’s infant onboard. It is one standard-sized bag (for items an infant may require during the flight).
