Are EgyptAir seats comfortable?

Seats are comfortable. leg room is decent. My husband and 2 sons are all 6 + ft and 2 had the aisle seat, 1 had the window. They could've used maybe 2 extra inches but they all seemed ok.



In 2026, the comfort of EgyptAir seats is highly dependent on the aircraft model you are flying. On their modern Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners and Airbus A321neo fleet, the seats are very competitive with other major international carriers, offering good legroom (approx. 31-32 inches in Economy), adjustable headrests, and large seat-back entertainment screens. However, if you are on an older Boeing 777 or 737, passengers often report that the seats feel "dated" and significantly harder, with less lumbar support and older, smaller screens. In Business Class, the experience has improved significantly; the new Dreamliners feature "Super Diamond" lie-flat seats in a 1-2-1 configuration, providing excellent privacy and direct aisle access for every passenger. While the airline's "soft product" (service and food) can be inconsistent, the "hard product" on their newer planes is perfectly comfortable for a long-haul journey to Cairo, though it lacks some of the luxury flourishes found on Gulf carriers like Emirates or Qatar.

More Leg Room In most wide-bodied aircraft the best position is at the front of economy class or on the exit/bulkhead rows. This is particularly advantageous for the taller traveller as there is more leg room in this row with the absence of seating directly in front of you.
