The Cairo Express

We expect to step into antiquity when we travel to Egypt, but perhaps the ships of the sky would be more comfortable than the ships of the desert!  There are now a number of convenient ways to get to Cairo by air, most with a single stopover enroute.

 Here are three ways that we can look at getting airfare for our exploration of Egypt:

• Book airfare directly through Insight Vacations
  This option may be easiest but not all airlines are represented and prices may or may not be reflective of the industry's best rates. It is convenient to only pay the $350 air deposit and save the balance for final payment.  Because the tickets are not issued right away (only a reservation is held), some functions and expected services ma not be immediately available (e.g., advance seat assignments)

• Book air through AffordableTours.Com using one of our air planning partners
  Though still requiring full payment on confirmation, this option does give travelers the comfort of a "second pair of eyes" on the process and on monitoring changes in schedules prior to departure.  Sometimes our partners have extraordinarily good fares as well.  These services do carry a fee for handling but, with some savings plans, may still represent a great value.

• Book airfare entirely independently
  Whether through the airline, through a third party (like Expedia) or through a broker (like SkyLux), this option represents the greatest direct control for the traveler over the disposition and handling of flights.  
  ​
  
• NOTE:
  Regardless of which option you elect to use for securing airfare, Insight Vacations will include transfers from and to the airport 

For research purposes, we've included the SkyScanner air search tool below to give you an idea of options that may exist from your home airport. Of course, your Pied Piper is also available to give you options and input in making your flight decision.

​On the other hand, you might prefer the slightly humpy and bumpy Cairo Express!!
