In order to woo tourists travel to Egypt post their democratic movement in January, 2011, Egyptair has doubled its baggage allowance for its international and domestic passengers. With this, Egyptair becomes one of the very few airlines in the world to allow two checked in bags free of charge on both its international and domestic sectors as per a report in India Infoline.
This was announced by Medhat Nabil, General Manager Egyptair and Adel EL Masry, Director Egyptian Tourism Office in India following the decision taken by the airline in Egypt. Commenting on the development, Adel El Masy said, “Egyptian tourism has taken a toll in the wake of the recent political turmoil in the country. However, everything is behind us now and we are making all possible efforts to ensure that the country that has more than 12% of its GDP from tourism alone, does not further face any problems and extends all comforts to the visiting guests. With the baggage allowance going up Egyptair has ensured that tourists enjoy even the shopping experience.”
The new baggage allowance enables the economy class customers on all international flights to carry 2 free bags, 23 kilos each, with a total of 46 kilos. On the other hand, business class customers can carry two free pieces of baggage with 32 kilos each; this is in addition to one hand bag accompanied onboard with a maximum weight of 7 kilos on all classes.
