Frequently asked
Does EgyptAir offer upgrades?
EgyptAir offers an upgrade program: eligible passengers can place a bid to upgrade to a premium cabin (such as Premium Economy or Business), and are only charged if the bid is accepted. Availability depends on fare/cabin type, route, and timing.
What upgrade options does EgyptAir offer?
EgyptAir offers Bid Upgrade, Seat Blocker (Empty Seat).
How does EgyptAir's bid (offer) upgrade work?
You name an amount — within a range shown for your booking — to move up to a higher cabin. It's an offer, not a fixed price: you're only charged if EgyptAir accepts it. If your offer isn't accepted you pay nothing and keep your original seat.
How do I check if my EgyptAir booking can be upgraded?
Check your specific booking with Upgrade Agent: enter your booking reference and last name and you'll see the upgrade options and price ranges available on your flights — you don't need to dig through EgyptAir's website. Visit EgyptAir's official upgrade page and enter your booking reference and last name to see available upgrade offers: https://www.egyptair.com/en/fly/Pages/PlusGrade-check-In.aspx
Who is eligible for a EgyptAir upgrade?
Eligibility depends on your fare type, route, and how close to departure you are — not every fare or flight qualifies, and offers usually open within a window before departure. The reliable way to know is to check your specific booking rather than assume.
When am I charged for a EgyptAir upgrade?
Only if your offer is accepted. With bid upgrades the charge happens when the upgrade is confirmed — typically in the days before departure. If your offer isn't accepted, there's no charge.
How will I know if my EgyptAir upgrade offer was accepted?
EgyptAir notifies you — usually by email — if your offer is accepted, typically shortly before departure. Until then your original booking stands, and you can review your offer's status where you submitted it.
Can I change or cancel my EgyptAir upgrade offer?
A pending offer can usually be changed or cancelled any time before it's accepted, from the page where you submitted it. Once an offer is accepted and charged, the upgrade is confirmed.
How much does a EgyptAir upgrade cost?
There's no fixed price — you offer within a range shown for your booking, which varies by route, cabin, and demand. You choose where in that range to bid; higher offers can have a better chance of being accepted, though the exact acceptance formula isn't published.
Can I keep the seat next to me empty on EgyptAir?
EgyptAir offers an empty-seat option — you can offer to keep the adjacent seat (or seats) free for more space, subject to availability. As with bid upgrades, you're only charged if the request is granted.
Can I use EgyptAir Plus points or miles for a EgyptAir upgrade?
EgyptAir's loyalty program is EgyptAir Plus. Depending on the route and the offer shown on your booking, upgrades may be payable with points/miles as well as cash — the options available appear when you check your specific booking.
