:help: Hello MENA(Salam) ,

We are planning a trip back to Egypt this upcoming New Year(Beginning of February)InshaAllah. Our family is 3(2 adults and 1 two yr.) now and I was hoping that you could suggest a resonably priced round trip ticket site. Maybe even tell who you used, so that we can shop around.

The direct flight (NY to EG)would cost and arm and 2 legs! :rofl: Egyptair was $3,500.00 !!!

I have looked on www.cheaptickets.com & www.expedia.com, it seems the average is $1,200.00 per person round trip with a couple of stops. I am way...down south(Louisiana) so I already know to expect many connection flights ! :bonk:

Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated :luv:

You find all the best secrets here :D

Thanks in advance for your help.

My suggestion...and its worked for us everytime if you have a travel agent for your workplace.

We have a Corporate Travel department and I just ask them to assist me. They have found SUPER low rates for us and then I book based on their information by myself. It's worth a shot or if you have a friend that works for a large company they might be able to assist you.

Have a blast!!! I am planning on heading back too...but not till early next year alone with the twins. Ughh...I can only imagine the trip with the twins alone with me! :lol::unsure: Hubby can't make the trip with us....he's stuck keeping up the house! :devil::dance:

Thanks in advance for your help.

I think your information could be incorrect, I was under the impression it was atleast 1 arm, 2 legs and a ear or two. :rofl: Maybe even a few fingers! Where you from in Louisiana? I just moved from from there. I lived there for about 7 years. I swear the mosquito should have been named the state bird! :blink:

Just for shitts and gigs I looked up tix prices on Egyptair.com. From NYC to CAI for two adults, one child in Feb 2010 cost $2,383.43 taxes included. Did you look on the Egyptair site? They have the cheapest prices IMO.

Now why didnt I think of that? ! :bonk:

When we went with the baby(4mos old) they charged us additional luggage charge for her, even though with all the other airlines she was free !

Thank you for your reply.

Aloha Lori......I found a great ticket roundtrip using www.flycheapabroad.com it was $592.00 tax included from Houston, TX to Cairo, EG . Our friend said it was a great flight but he did have a long layover in Amsterdam, but it was worth it ! You will find many ready to help you with your new journey, especially here in (MENA = Middle East & North Africa). I will send you a private message with my e-mail and I would be more than happy to asist you. Look forward to hearing from you.

Take Care..

If by "long layover" in Amsterdam you mean that 12-hour layover... I do not envy you. I've traveled through Amsterdam twice on my way to Egypt and it is painful even for 4-6 hours, let alone 12! Especially on the US-to-Egypt side of it, being stuck for 12 hours after you just got off a plane for 10 hours... blech.

We flew Airfrance for our last trip overseas, they had nice toys and meals for my kid. They are a little more expensive, and to be honest it was pretty equivalent to KLM, which is usually less expensive. When we booked, though, Airfrance was the cheapest. Previously I flew Northwest/KLM and for my first trip it was NW/KLM/Egyptair. That last combination was the cheapest, but it was also in December/January, which tends to be the least expensive time for Egypt...

This post is a bit dated but I reminded me of an article I read recently, I thought it could be useful to know:

Practical Traveler

10 Ways to Cut Your Travel Costs This Year

By MICHELLE HIGGINS

...

10. Study the Fine Print

Play close attention to which airline you are actually flying, particularly on international flights. With code sharing, you may book a flight to Paris on Delta, for instance, and end up traveling with Air France, a code share partner with Delta.

But while the flight may be the same, the price often is not. Sometimes the difference can be negligible — say, $609 on SAS on a January nonstop flight from Newark Airport to Stockholm versus $627 for that same flight when booked through United. Or $817 for an American flight from New York to Lima versus the $693 that same flight would cost when booked through American’s code share partner, LAN.

There are times though when the difference can be substantial, particularly when the code share partner may be a foreign carrier not well known to American travelers.

Here are some examples, based on a search on Kayak.com for flights in late January, where the round-trip fares vary greatly depending on which code share partner you book through. (Click on “details” for a breakdown of the flight’s particulars.) New York to Singapore : $1,319 on Cathay Pacific; $1,817 on American. New York to Marrakesh : $1,098 on Royal Air Maroc; $3,257 on Delta. New York to Cairo : $908 on Egypt Air; a stunning $4,650 on United.

Thanks for posting this site. I am currently looking at flights to Casablanca and this site is coming in handy! I also really like www.tripadvisor.com and www.cheapoair.com. Those are very good sites to get lower priced fares.

www.flycheapabroad.com

tickets in January are around$900 a piece.
