Where to find cheap air ticket from San Francisco to Cairo, Egypt?
Hi,
My wife and I plans to go to Egypt this Christmas season. We live in San Francisco area, California. The air tickets I can find online are over $1600 per person, which are too expensive. Where can I find cheaper air tickets? Thanks, Qing |

You've probably run up against high season. Checking Mar 1 outbound with a Mar 15 return, I see a price on BA of $888 (or so). You might try leaving earlier and staying later. This year, the heavy part of the Christmas season is Dec 17 to Jan 7. Even Dec 15 to Jan 9 only drops the price to $1240 though. You just booked too late for this year. -- _Deirdre http://deirdre.net "Dogs may have kept us company on the hunt, but it was the cats who insisted we invent houses and discover fire." -- Khiem Tran |

Where to find cheap air ticket from San Francisco to Cairo, Egypt?
Qing,
I went from New York to Egypt in late September on Swiss Air for $945 round trip. I am making the same trip again via Swiss Air (leaving December 27th and returning January 8th) for a lower price...I paid $815 for the December trip. I purchased both tickets from an online travel auction. I have no complaints for what I paid since I did my research and figured that what I paid was 15-30% lower than what I would have paid if I purchased my flights through Priceline or Orbitz. Don't forget that Christmas is the high season, which lasts from Thanksgiving through the 24th. I bid on both flights through SkyAuction.com (www.skyauction.com). Skyauction has been holding from 1-3 auctions a week on SwissAir's New York to Cairo route for the past several months. Bidders have been paying from $551 to $715 for these flights...plus you need to add on $105 for fees and taxes, which means that people are essentially paying from $651 - $815 for these flights. The average winning bid has been around $600. These are the cheapest New York to Cairo flights I have come across. These SwissAir flights allow departures from Los Angeles, Chicago, and Boston but you have to pay a surcharge. Since you live in the Bay area you will fly out of Los Angeles. If you fly out of LAX expect to pay an additional $185 in addition to your winning bid. So it is possible to pay about $890 for a round trip flight from Los Angeles to Cairo, Egypt if you aren't flying during the high season. Cheers, J.
