Change and cancellation rules depend on the fare branch. Lower fares are more restrictive (higher change/cancel fees, sometimes non-refundable); higher fares allow changes with lower fees. Review your fare conditions before booking.
How to avoid extra fees
- On US routes you are limited to one carry-on plus one personal item by federal regulation — do not plan on a second cabin bag.
- No single bag over 32 kg is accepted for safety reasons; bags over 32 kg or 203 cm must ship as cargo.
- From 1 January 2026, tickets to and from Asmara (Eritrea) are limited to one checked piece in all classes.
- Domestic Economy gets only one checked bag — plan a second bag fee or pack lighter on internal Egypt flights.
