airmemphis , thanks for your info .
This is all very nice , having shiny new terminals etc , but they have got to stop treating all visitors ( including aircrew in uniform ) as if they are carrying the plague / armed to the teeth etc. Being constantly shouted at , or ignored , by some spotty individual whose 'power' derives from the ak-47 he totes , is very wearying , however much I enjoy Egypt when I am there.
and for your info , we were ripped off by some Egyptair 'official' who assured us that we had to pay to change terminals . I am fed up with having to pay some 'present' to some check-in handler , knowing that I might not see my case again if I don't agree.
