Your guide to booking Cairo flights

From booking to airport arrival, find tips to help you plan your flight with more confidence.
  • For the best chance at a low fare to Cairo, aim to book around 26 weeks before you fly. That window historically saves about 5% versus last-minute pricing based on KAYAK booking data over the last 12 months.
  • For flights to Cairo, recent KAYAK data shows that stronger deals tend to land around $791 round-trip. If you see a fare below that threshold, it's a strong deal – book before the price climbs back up.
  • If you can choose when to go, time your trip to Cairo around January. Round-trip fares historically average $789 that month – typically the cheapest month to travel based on the last 12 months.
  • Before you book:

    • Check the route's typical price range so you can spot a deal.
    • Confirm baggage fees and seat-selection costs on budget carriers.
    • Verify whether you need any travel documents beyond ID.
    • Pick a departure airport, since your nearest may not be the cheapest origin.
  • Shift your departure to evening to save up to $79 per round-trip. Evening flights to Cairo average $963 compared to $1,042 for afternoon flights. See the time-of-day chart above for the full breakdown.
  • Bag allowances vary by airline, fare type, cabin class and route. On flights to Cairo, some airlines may include bags at no extra cost. For example, Egyptair includes a cabin bag and a checked bag in Economy Class. Always check the fare details before booking, since bag policies can change by ticket type.
  • Once you arrive in Cairo, a few great places to start are Tahrir Square, Egyptian Museum and Cairo International Stadium. These are popular with first-time visitors and can give you a good feel for the area.
  • Suppose you are staying in Cairo for a while and require a local sim card; two Telco companies are located at the arrival post to assist with this. Vodafone and Amir Center Co are both available at Terminal 1.
  • Worried about food poisoning during your travels? Why not stop off at one of the two pharmacies located inside Cairo International Airport (CAI)? Dr. Vivian Pharmacy in Terminal 1 and El Ezaby Pharmacy in Terminal 3 will serve your needs well. At either of the two stores, travelers can pick up any last-minute first aid supplies they might need.
  • Tired after your flight to Cairo International Airport (CAI)? Consider resting up at the Le Meridien Cairo Airport, which is connected directly to Terminal 3 via a pedestrian bridge. Le Meridien Cairo Airport offers both day and night rates, so it is great for grabbing a few hours of rest or staying the night.
  • No trip abroad is complete without a few souvenirs and gifts to bring home for family and friends. Fortunately for travelers, Cairo International Airport (CAI) has plenty of souvenir and gifts shops that are just perfect for last-minute purchases. The duty-free shops are particularly worth checking out to find local goods and specialties at cheap prices.

Many travel agencies, such as Al Nakheel Tourism and Kimidar Tourism, have their desks right inside the airport, making it quick and easy to book tickets, hotels, or tours through them.
  • When traveling to Egypt, your entry point will be the Cairo International Airport, the country’s main and busiest airport (CAI). On entry, non-Egyptian residents will require one of 3 visas granted abroad by Diplomatic bodies or at major entry ports. These visas fall under the categories of Tourist Visa, Entry Visa and Transit Visa.
  • Cairo International Airport (CAI) has an automated people mover, the first of its kind in the Middle East region. This provides free services for passengers transiting in the airport, helping them connect between Terminal 1 (TB1), Terminal 2 (TB2), Terminal 3 (TB3), the air mall and the car park.
  • Flights from the US either have no stops or can have up to two stops en route. For example, a flight from New York’s JFK will have a stopover in London, Heathrow. Depending on the airline of choice, a flight from Washington, DC, will have a stopover in Amsterdam or Vienna.
  • Business travelers are in luck, as Cairo International Airport (CAI) has a business center located in Terminal 1. The center has printing and fax stations available, as well as Wi-Fi. There are also meeting rooms available at the airport.
  • Since you will be traveling to a new country, various banks are available at Terminals 1, 2 and 3 to help with currency exchange. The National Bank of Egypt is available at the arrival halls in all three terminals.
