Departure: Cairo International Airport (CAI)

Flights from Cairo to Luxor leave from Cairo International Airport (CAI), serving Cairo - cairo is the largest city in Africa and the Arab world, spread along both banks of the Nile with the Giza pyramids on its western edge; Cairo International Airport (CAI) lies about 20 km north-east of Tahrir Square in Heliopolis, and the new Sphinx Airport serves the Giza side. Plan to be at the airport about two hours before an international departure and ninety minutes before a domestic one; earlier at peak times. Online check-in opens 24 to 48 hours before and we send the link with your ticket. Getting to the airport: Cairo Metro Line 3 reaches the airport area with a monorail and shuttle link under way, but the walk with bags and the changes to Downtown or Giza make it a poor start after a long flight; the pre-booked car goes straight through the airport road.

• Arrive about 2 hours before an international departure, 90 minutes before a domestic one
• Online check-in opens 24-48 hours before; we send the link and the booking reference
• Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the electronic ticket - names must match exactly
• Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book

Arrival: Luxor International Airport (LXR) and getting into Luxor

The flight lands at Luxor International Airport (LXR). Luxor is the world's greatest open-air museum: Karnak and Luxor temples on the east bank, the Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut's temple on the west. From arrivals you have taxis, metro, tram or bus and, if you book it with us, a Haqqi Tours driver waiting with your name. For a family with bags, a pre-booked airport transfer is the easiest way to finish the Cairo to Luxor journey: fixed price, flight tracked, straight to the hotel door.

Many travellers continue from Luxor to somewhere else. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Cairo to Luxor flight

On board, the Cairo to Luxor flight is about 1 hour 5 minutes: economy is perfectly comfortable, and business class adds a bigger seat, a meal and lounge access for those who want it. Baggage rules differ by airline and fare; children and infants have their own allowances. Let us know who is flying and what you are carrying and we choose accordingly.

• Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
• Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy
• Cabin bag on every fare; checked bag included on full-service fares, optional on low-cost ones
• Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you

Flying with children, families and groups from Cairo to Luxor

Three things to know about the flight from Cairo to Luxor with children: infants under two fly on a lap, children get their own seat and typically a lower fare, and a folding pushchair goes free. Groups get seats together and, on many airlines, a group rate. Tell us the numbers and we handle the rest, including the transfer with enough room for everyone.

Things to do in Luxor when you land

Karnak temple, the Valley of the Kings, Luxor temple at night and a balloon flight over the west bank are what most passengers come to Luxor for. Luxor is the world's greatest open-air museum: Karnak and Luxor temples on the east bank, the Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut's temple on the west.

Haqqi Tours offers guided tours, tickets, airport transfers and private drivers in Luxor; ask when you book the flight and we send the options.

Best time to fly from Cairo to Luxor

Flights from Cairo to Luxor run all year, 10+ a day. High season in Luxor follows the holidays and the big events. If you can travel outside those weeks the same seat costs less and the airports are quieter. Whatever the month, early booking is the single biggest saving.

Return flight from Luxor to Cairo

The Luxor to Cairo flight is the same route in reverse, about 1 hour 5 minutes. Haqqi Tours provides the return ticket in the same conversation; if you are not yet sure of the return date, we can book a flexible outbound or wait, and explain which is cheaper.

How much is a flight from Cairo to Luxor?

"How much is the Cairo to Luxor flight?" is the question we get most, and the honest answer is that it moves every day. Low fares open months ahead and disappear as seats sell; peak seasons, school holidays and the most convenient departure times cost more; a fare with a checked bag and a flexible ticket cost more than a hand-luggage-only seat. Haqqi Tours can provide the current cost for the date you travel quickly of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.

The figure we send is the total: ticket, taxes and the baggage included in that fare. If a departure two hours earlier is cheaper, or a different airline includes a suitcase for the same money, we say so, because the cheapest Cairo to Luxor flight is often not the one at the top of a search.

Cheapest flight from Cairo to Luxor: how to pay less

A cheap Cairo to Luxor flight ticket is rarely luck. It is the right airline, the right day and the right fare class - which is what we verify for you:

• Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
• Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
• Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day
• Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we check
• Ask about infant and child fares and about group bookings for four or more
• Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays

Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which departure is the cheapest flight from Cairo to Luxor that day and what a slightly different day would cost.
