Other Middle East and Africa Frequent Flyer Programs - Egyptair sameday upgrade policy

Flying JFK-CAI on Dec. 27 returning Jan. 05.

Would like to fly business class but not at the published rates.

Has any one flown on this route recently and had any experience on a same day upgrade at the airport and what it might cost?

Alternatively, any suggestions on where I could look to book a discounted J fare?

Wouldn't we all ?

My experience of MS C-cabins is they are invariably full. Probably a function of cheap fares: at least, that's why I'm there!

If the aircraft is their 777s, one word of advise : DON'T.

Their 777s have literally 38in pitch which makes them very uncomfortable. I've only flown on their F and that was even a torture on a 12 hour plus flight as the most uncomfortable seat in F/J anywhere....

Save your $ and spend it on a nicer hotel to rest your weary head after the journey.

FYI - You do know that Egyptair is a DRY airline, right?

Worse than J2? Although at least they have vodka.
