I’m trying to help finalize the details for the trip my brother and mom are taking to Egypt next month, and right now we’re trying to book the intra-Egypt flights. They’re looking at booking CAI-LXR roundtrip and CAI-SSH roundtrip. For two people this comes out to around $750 total for all four flights on the US EgyptAir website, while it comes out to half that on the Egyptian EgyptAir website.
I tried booking it on the Egyptian EgyptAir website, but when I enter CC info I get an error message, seemingly because I don’t have an Egyptian CC.
So any thoughts on how to get a cheaper rate? Is there some consolidator that could sell us the cheaper flights? Is there any sneaky way to book on the Egyptian EgyptAir website?
I started a thread on FlyerTalk about this, but haven’t received a definitive response, although there have been some good suggestions.
So, does anyone have any ideas? Any help would be appreciated, either via the comments section below or via email at [email protected].
Lucky,
I’m heading to egypt in a couple weeks and I booked everyhing on the english egypt air website. This is what I got for 1 person
$297 for: CAI-LXR; LXR-ASW; ASW-CAI
&
$198 for ALY-SSH; SSH-CAI
=495 for 5 flights or $99 a flight
Is the fare on ExpertFlyer? If it is, then without meaning to state the obvious, have you tried your local travel agent? 🙂

Have you tried calling AMEX Plat travel service. I booked my trip on AZ from Baku to Dubai through them and they were able to get me a very low business class fare.
