Egyptair

Allowed dimensions: 58x45x25 cm · Maximum weight: 8 kg

The context in a few words

Egyptair flies from Égypte on a full-service model inherited from traditional aviation. In practice, that translates to a more permissive baggage policy than budget airlines — though it's still worth checking the exact figures before check-in.

58x45x25 cm and 8 kg: the policy is on the lenient side. Travellers used to low-cost gauges will breathe easier here.

On the ground, posted rules and counter practice don't always align. Egyptair publishes 58x45x25 cm and 8 kg as the upper bound, and gate agents typically allow 1–2 cm of leeway before routing to hold. Don't bank on it — tolerance evaporates the moment the flight fills up.

In daily use, dimensional checks are less frequent than on low-cost airlines, but the rules apply once a flight fills up. On busy short-haul routes, an oversized cabin bag may end up in the hold for free — a service that quickly becomes mandatory.

On Egyptair, unclear personal-item language calls for caution. A thin laptop sleeve clears in 95% of cases; a backpack sized like a second cabin bag, much less. When in doubt, the safe play is to consolidate everything into the main bag.
