I recently flew Egyptair in business class from Cairo to Dublin, upgrading my ticket for US225 or £165. They do really nice coffee, I found, and the 08:20 departure was a lunch service, not breakfast. That meant the first service was coffee and a cookie, then a couple of hours into the flight the lunch service began. It was served in courses, starting with a shrimp and baby octopus salad, then a turkey roulade for the main. All that is cleared away and then dessert is served and I had a lemon tart. Plenty of food and that plus the fact the seats are 2x2 with tons of room between the seat in front made me really regret having used Avios to fly BA from Cairo to London the previous year. There's even inflight entertainment for both classes, so overall it's a much better experience than BA.

Yes, they don't serve alcohol, but I didn't find that a show stopper. I was pleasantly surprised - and once again, wouldn't have even thought to try them had it not been for the BA programme changes.
