Prologue:

Following my trip from marseille I'm heading to Cairo for my QR journey.

After my flight from Marseille I quickly made my way to the lounge

The pides Chef. One thing amazes me whenever I come to the lounge is the long queue to get the pides.

Boarding was done by bus. I was a bit upset to have my seat changed (I was on 8D Exit row then 21E because of aircraft swap) to the back of the plane and now I?۪m stuck in the middle seat. The good thing is my Egyptian seatmates were funny. One was living in USA (we discussed about the POTUS and the new French President lengthy). This other one from Cairo passionate about soccer

Summary:

TK is a safe bet for your flights.
I would pick TK whenever it's possible to taste the pides again in the lounge.

Even for a short flight, they give a sandwich and yet it's very good. On the other hand BA removed the little snack...

Next part: British Airways Club World to London.

Thanks for reading.
