Rpnd your story about Cairo Airport was very sentimental to me. My first Swissair flight was from Cairo to Geneva on a DC-6.In those days we left Cairo after midnight and breakfast was served at the Athens airport restaurant, early morning. I believe you now leave early in the morning. I am not surprised that there was mayhem. I personally am "allergic" to Swiss Airlines and I am not trying to defend them. I am sure that in New York or Geneva etc it would have been better organised than in Cairo.Organisation is not exactly something to be expected in the Middle East.

The problem is that flying Lufthansa requires a change in Frankfurt and so much wasted time.Besides I hear their seating is tight and not so great. I therefore feel "trapped" with Swiss as they are the main carrier from Geneva.
