EgyptAir seat?

I`m going (along with wife) to Cairo on Egyptair from LHR? I`m already booked on package (Nile cruise). How can I get good seat - window, front near emergency exit? Thanks.

If you booked through a travel agent they can do it for you (or at least ours can). If you booked online you can't. If they do pre-book a seat and someone important wants it you will end up in 52H. So don't pre-book the front few rows in economy.

Begs the question, why are you travelling with MS? I always take my hat off to those brave travellers out there.
Good luck. You'll need it.

What have you got against MS, Oddy? Not my favourite airline, I'd rather fly BD or BA to Cairo, but if they're significantly cheaper or the times more convenient I fly them without a qualm.
Only slight quibble is that on my last flight (a 330) the emergency instructions were for a 340 (Mrs PV's in the next seat were fine). I handed it in to the CC, all the time wondering "how does that happen?"

Pax you answered your own question.
They are a horror carrier and anything remotley positive about MS is a smoke screen and usually short lived. I agree they are very cheap but in this life one gets what they pay for in most situations. They are government owned and run and changing livery or geting a new 777 as part of an American government subsidy isnt my idea of a progressive and safe carrier.

.........and yet they operate JAA Level D approved FSTDs (B777, A320, A330) in a modern training facility so the fundamentals of a safe operation seem to be in place?

ZFT that's certainly true but from what I know and experienced I wouldnt fly MS for free.
