This would be my preferred option. Now all I need to do is to find a duty free shop at either JFK or IAD that will sell me a decent chilled bottle of champagne.

Bump. (DH and I are flying business class JNB-CAI-MAD in April and BRU-CAI-JNB in June. Friends who live in Cyprus tell us they always fly EgyptAir and bring alcohol on board which the flight attendants chill for them and serve them in flight and have never had a problem. I am guessing they buy it at duty free at their departure airport. Very curious whether and how this actually works.)

Unfortunately, KU doesn't have the BYOB policy. I feel like OMAAT lucked out and was a one-off because it was a segment from SNN-JFK and he was able to get the booze while transferring through SNN (a route that was once operated by KU before they were allowed to operate direct flights to JFK).

Question: I have seen a youtube video where passengers brought their own cans of beer on board their EgyptAir flight departing from Cairo. Is beer sold in the Cairo airport and would you be allowed to bring it on board? I assumed there would be a security check and it would not be permitted unless in a duty free bag?

Thank you. Are there any restaurants in the airport for a meal & glass of wine? The lounges do not look very appealing.
