Taken 20 June 2008 from Cairo (Cairo International Airport) - CAI to Marsa Matrum (Mersa Matruh) - MUH

I booked the CAI-MUH-CAI flight on the internet (Egyptair website), the ticket price was ridiculously high (about 3 times what I paid last year for CAI-HRG-CAI.

The only airline that serves MUH is Egyptair Express on a thrice weekly basis. I was actually eager to try MS Express and to try the Brazilian made Embraer 170 as I have never flown on one before.

The flight both ways took off and landed few minutes early for this 1 hour and 10 minutes flight.

My first impression when I boarded the plane : It looked clean, fresh and new (which it is)

Although a small plane, the E-170's inside looks and feels spacious. The only thing that I found inconvenient is the position of the windows in regards to the seat.

The windows of the E-170 are quite large, the engines are relatively quiet. But I have to say that the livery of Egyptair Express is horrible.

The seats were all leather, we were served just a soft drink on both flights.

Overall, my experience with Egyptair Express was positive, flights on time, nice and clean A/C, nice staff.

But the lack of a snack and the extremely exaggerated ticket price were the only 2 negative points.
