Deal alert: flights to Egypt starting at $567 RT from Chicago, Dallas, NYC, and Oakland

DEALS - 02-08-2022


Why not visit some of the most well-known sites in the world as Egypt's tourism industry begins to recover from the pandemic?
Egypt is even more alluring now that ancient treasures have been recently discovered.
There are some fantastic travel offers currently available from departure cities including Chicago, Dallas, New York, as well as Oakland and San Francisco to the transcontinental country (Egypt spans Africa and Asia). 


The vast majority of these fare promotions are for cheap flights to Cairo.
The cost of checked bags on international flights can add up, so be sure to research airline fees before making travel arrangements.
We did discover some fantastic airfares that also provide free checked baggage.


The trip window with the most availability is from September to February 2023.
This offer does not include holidays. 


It charges $49 a year for basic membership.
For $199 a year, you may upgrade to the Elite tier, which gives you access to discounts on premium economy, business class, and first-class tickets.


The more flexible you may be with your trip arrangements, the better pricing you'll be able to find, as we usually say. 


Basics of deals 

Airlines: Swiss Air Lines, Royal Air Maroc, Air Canada, American, and Delta.

Chicago, Dallas, New York City, and San Francisco are the routes that go to Cairo, Egypt.

To make a reservation, use Google Flights and contact the airline directly.

Best available dates for travel
Holidays excluded, September through February 2023. 


Flight examples 

We discovered round-trip tickets on Royal Air Maroc for just $567 from New York City (JFK) to Cairo (CAI) in September.
Be advised before you purchase that this cost does include a lengthy layover in Casablanca during the outbound trip.
In actuality, a lengthy layover was included in the majority of the best airfares we discovered from New York City to Egypt.


Fortunately, Oneworld member Royal Air Maroc enables travelers to check up to two bags and bring a small carry-on. 


Royal Air Maroc charges a little bit more for the same NYC-Cairo flight in January, but the layover is much more tolerable. 


Out of Chicago, we discovered a few discounts that were simply amazing.
Air Canada is offering this route for just $575 round-trip from O'Hare International Airport (ORD) to Cairo in late September.
What you would typically anticipate to pay for this trip is more than $600 less than that.
The return flight does have an 18-hour stopover in Montreal, but that's a terrific place to visit for a day.
Additionally, a free carry-on bag and a free first checked bag are included in Air Canada's Standard ticket. 


If you'd like to go to the Pyramids in December, Swiss Air Lines has an amazing deal for only $608 round-trip from O'Hare to Cairo.
The savings are amazing, and the layovers in Zurich aren't quite as unpleasant.
Additionally, just like the Air Canada ticket we previously highlighted, this Swiss itinerary includes a free carry-on and a free first checked bag. 


If you live in Texas, the best time to travel to Egypt is in September and October.
The availability was excellent during those months.


The cost of a round-trip Delta flight from Dallas (DFW) to Cairo is $644, which is a significant savings over going direct.
Two free checked baggage as well as one free carry-on are included in this fare. 


For the West Coast, here's one.
Fall airfare on Swiss from San Francisco (SFO) to Egypt is a very competitive $662 round-trip.
Again, a free carry-on and a free checked luggage are included. 


In January, the same path is accessible for the same low cost. 

Oakland wasn't forgotten.
Flights from Oakland International Airport (OAK) to Cairo can be purchased for a significant discount.
In December and January, we discovered some rates that were more than 50% less expensive than usual.
The catch is that all of the flights offered at a discount had two stops.
Here's a Delta example that we liked, which includes two free checked bags in addition to a free carry-on.
