CAIRO (CAI) - HURGHADA (HRG) ON EGYPTAIR
Carrier : Egyptair ( MS )
Flight number : MS159
Equipment ; A330/200
Route : CAI-HRG
Load factor : 40%
Departure : 6:15 ( actual 6:10 )
Departure runway : 23R
Flight duration : 50 minutes
Arrival : 7:05 ( 10 minutes early )
We were bussed to the Aircraft where it stood among the Heavies ( A330'S,B777'S AND A340's ) near runway 23R .
Upon getting off the bus , I approached somebody on the ground and asked if it is ok to take pics , he politely replied : No problems at all .
After getting of the bus ( sorry for the blurriness )
Boarding , I used the flash by mistake , so the background wasn't clear
The A330 is about 1 year new , the plane was spotless with an excellent seat pitch . The seats were very soft and comfy with foot rests . It also has nose wheel and belly cameras . Unlike Alitalia , this time the ashtrays in the armrests were clean .

We were greeted on board by 2 very nice and friendly male F/A's . The F/A's were mainly males on this flight .
Before Pushback , the captain came on the PA to welcome us and wish us a nice flight with MS .
We started push back 5 minutes early , then we taxied to runway 23R . The airport movement was very quiet that morning . The nose wheel camera was on during taxiing .
Taxiing to Runway 23R
Then we turned into the runway and suddenly the RR engines started roaring and we had a rolling , smooth yet powerful take off .

Then we , immediately , made a 90 degrees right turn heading east .

Excellent seat pitch on Egyptair A330 , with foot rests
10 minutes into the flight , a snack/breakfast was served . It has a fresh sweet vanilla cake slice , an apple juice and your choice of tea or coffee

15 minutes latter , the captain announced that we are starting our descent into HRG . And i will let you enjoy the stunning pics of Hurghada's beautiful resorts..
We made a sharp left turn and started our approach
Seconds before landing
During the landing, the belly camera was on .
Touch down
We had one of the best touchdowns ( as if we landed over a velvet carpet ) : Good job captain .

As we arrived to our stand , an Air Cairo was parked next to us
Even though HRG international airport is small , but you don't feel claustrophobic . It is also very clean .
