Check-in time on Egyptair (MS) Vie-Cai
Have a 6-hour stop in VIE enroute from EWR to CAI. Airline (MS) says 3 hours before departure is the requirement to go from Vienna to Cairo. How true is this 'requirement'? If I have 1 bag to check, am *A Gold & flying business, wouldn't 1h15m suffice for the bag drop? And if bag is checked all the way to CAI for my EWR-VIE-CAI trip, don't I just need to be at the gate in VIE prior to boarding? I'm EU citizen.

Aha. Thank you! That’s what I thought. While it said 3 hours somewhere, I also saw it said the cutoff was 1 hour so I’m going to aim for 75-90 minutes for the bag. :-)
