Travel to Cairo

Flying to Cairo

British Airways and EgyptAir offer direct flights to Cairo from the UK. EgyptAir also operates direct flights from the USA. There is no great difference in flight prices according to the time of year. However during major Islamic holidays, prices rise and seats fill up quickly. Christmas holidays are also a busy time, for tourists and locals.
