EgyptAir A320neo business class review: Manchester to Cairo
Business class on a single-aisle plane for four and a half hours. A recliner, not a bed, and that changes who this seat suits.

How the day actually went
Seat and sleep
This is business class on a single-aisle plane: a wide recliner with a legrest, two by two, not a flat bed. For a daytime flight of around four and a half hours, that is less of a problem than it sounds. [How far it reclines, whether the legrest supports a larger frame, and what it is like when the seat in front reclines.]
Food and drink
[What was served, how it tasted, and whether there was an option for the Asian palate. The main was rice with prawns.]
Service, Wi-Fi and entertainment
[Service in general terms, no crew names. The screen and the handset remote: easy to use or not? Wi-Fi: did it work, what it cost.]
Getting on and off
[Short. Boarding at Manchester, arrival at Cairo, bags checked through.]
Was it worth it?
[What the money bought on this leg. Would a recliner on this length of flight change your choice?]
Verdict
[Two or three sentences. Where it earned its points, where it lost them, and the one thing a reader should know before booking.]



The downsides
- [A recliner, not a lie-flat bed: what that means on this length of flight]
- [Downside two, specific]
