	Cairo International Airport : Departure Tip Rating:

Cairo International Airport :
Departure

by pangtidor

Cairo International Airport is still under construction.When I went to Cairo in February 2007, the old one was used while waiting the construction. You have to go to the airport at least 2.5-3 hours before your departure time. You have to anticipate the traffic hours and busy streets in Cairo. If you stay in the hotel, ASK THE HOTEL`S RECEPTION TO ARRANGE THE TAXI FOR YOU.I may say, you have to ask for the fare first. The old airport is small with only one functional gate to the checking in desk. If you want to go to the toilet, you better use the toilets in duty free area, not in the waiting room area before the checking in desk. Airport tax usually will be included when you buy your plane tickets. The old airport has few boarding gates. I hope the new airport will be much better than the old one.

Yes, wireless internet is available in the old Cairo International Airport. You may surf on internet while waiting for your flight or eating in the airport cafes. Well, if you come to Cairo as a tourist, your laptop will just limit your time to enjoy your Cairo magical trip.

Outside the airport.

We flew with Egypt Air and were really lucky when they put me and my son in business class,lots of leg room. we also had nice food on the plane. and free papers to read.Don't be alarmed when you come out from the airport, we have never seen so many armed police before but we found out that there are different police for different things,there is the normal police,traffic police and tourist police.

First Steps in Egypt!

by saraheg77

When you arrive at Cairo International Airport, you'll most likely have to take a tram to the actual terminal. This gives you an excellent opportunity to take a picture of your first steps in Egypt! So, have your camera ready when you get off the plane!

	Airplane: Hong Kong - Cairo Tip Rating:

I took Gulf Air from Hong Kong to Cairo. 10 hours from Hong Kong to Abu Dhabi (stop over Bangkok). Sleep one nite in Abu Dhabi, then catch another flight to Cairo, another 3.5 hour.

Have not been flying with Gulf air for 9 years, suprisingly they have improved a lot in the service. They now provide different languages speaking crews on flight. And the BEST part was that they put me to BUSINESS CLASS!!! That make my 10 hours so much easier!!!

	Airplane: Have US dollars with you Tip Rating:

By bzh on January 17, 2003

Cairo Page by bzh

For citizens of the European Union, and probably quite a few other countries in the world, you don't really need a visa to enter Egypt. However, you need to buy visa stamps when you arrive at the airport. It will cost you 15 US dollars and they will only accept that currency, not the Egyptain pound. The British Foreign Office web site claims they also accept British pounds but my own experience is that it is not necessarilly the case and anyway it is much easier if you have USD.

So, make sure you have some US cash with you. Taxis from the airport might even ask you to pay in US dollars to get you to the town.

	Airplane: Gulf Air from Singapore to CaIro Tip Rating:

Updated By Sambawalk on May 13, 2006

I flew Gulf air from Singapore to Bahrain (8 hours) with stopover and then from Bahrain to Cairo (3 hours) for this trip to Egypt.

Gulf air is the second after, Emirates airlines, from Middle East that I have flown. I found the services is minimal in the Economy class and the food on board are quite undesirable. I flew Emirates twice before (one Syria and the other to Morocco) and I found meals served in Emirates airlines are much better. The seating are smaller in Gulf air, in my opinion. No wet towel is served throughout the whole flight. All passengers have to use dirty hands to touch the bread (which is dry and cold). The meals are simple and tasteless. Look at the meal pics and see if that is the kind of in-flight meal you want. Sigh. This is not the airline I want to fly again unless I have no choice. Rating for food and general services: Poor

just your little desert
airstrip...

by morgane1692

To and from Cairo, oh I'd definitely recommend the aerial route, unless you find yourself a nice little cruise across the Med from Europe to Alexandria, and then a comfortable ground-transit down from there...but be verrrry careful when your BA flight is taxiing around the Cairo airport tarmac here before dropping you off back in London and you get that urge to take photos out the window...shhhhh! *they* don't like it when you do that...soooo, just dont tell *them* you're doing it...

	Airplane: Maerskair Tip Rating:

by travelife

In many ways, Egypt travel becomes cheaper with a package deal which includes airfare plus internal transport plus hotel with breakfast while travelling in two. But now a days, cheap airline also operating to Cairo on a regular basis which can offer a price as low as one-third of the regular full price when booking online. Maerskair from Copenhagen have special deals in January and I paid only DKK 900 for a return ticket including taxes and charges.

Thai Airways plane

by CandS

We took an aeroplane from London to Cairo via Frankfurt. It took around 1.5 hours from London to Frankfurt then 3.5 hours from Frankfurt to Cairo. We flew Lufthansa...of our 11 flights they were probably lower on the scale than the others (although we had what looked like a brand new plane to Cairo).

We flew out of Cairo to Bangkok via Dubai... It took around 3.5 hours to Dubai flying with Singapore Airlines (the best airline in my opinion) and about 6.5 hours to fly Dubai to Bangkok with Thai Airways.
