EgyptAir Takes Flight on Winter Schedule as Daylight Saving Time Ends by Friday

News Agencies

Egypt’s National Carrier takes to the skies on a new winter schedule starting November 1st, following the conclusion of daylight saving time. Clocks will fall back one hour at midnight on Friday, officially ending the practice that began in April 2023.

Passengers are urged to factor in the time change and arrive at airport departure lounges well in advance of their flights to allow ample time for travel procedures. For inquiries, EgyptAir customers can reach the call center by dialing 1717 from any mobile phone in Egypt or use the landline number 090070000. International customers can call +97142306666 or +966122297777, or visit www.egyptair.com for assistance. Additionally, they can approach the nearest EgyptAir sales office or travel agent.

It’s important to note that the nationwide shift in time will also affect transportation schedules, including railways and the metro. Travelers with train tickets for Friday should consider setting alarms a bit earlier to avoid missing their trains.

Egyptians Get an Extra Hour as Daylight Saving Time Ends

As midnight approaches on Friday, Egyptians will effectively gain an extra hour, marking the end of daylight saving time. This initiative aimed at curbing power consumption and lessening fuel imports, a significant concern for the Egyptian economy.

While the clocks change, it’s a good opportunity to catch up on rest and realign your body clock with societal schedules. Most laptops and mobile phones will update automatically, so there’s no need to fiddle with your devices manually. As we transition back, remember that your work routines and appointments will remain unchanged, even if the clocks do not. Plan accordingly to ensure a smooth adjustment to the new schedule.
