Airlines flying from Cairo to New York

EgyptAir flies the Cairo to New York route, non-stop. They differ in baggage rules, seat pitch, meals and the airports they use as much as in price, so the cheapest fare is not always the best value. Haqqi Tours lays the options out plainly: which fare includes a checked bag, which airline flies at the time you want, and which is the better choice for a family or a business trip.

Departure: Cairo International Airport (CAI)

Your journey starts at Cairo International Airport (CAI). We tell you the terminal for your airline, when check-in and bag drop close, and whether the airport has fast-track security worth booking. 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.

• Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
• Haqqi Tours arranges a private transfer from your accommodation in Cairo to Cairo International Airport
• Ask us about the terminal and fast-track options at Cairo International Airport
• Arrive about 2 hours before an international departure, 90 minutes before a domestic one

Arrival: New York JFK or Newark (JFK / EWR) and getting into New York

The flight lands at New York JFK or Newark (JFK / EWR). New York City is served by three airports: John F. Kennedy (JFK) in Queens about 25 km from Midtown Manhattan, LaGuardia (LGA) about 15 km away, and Newark (EWR) across the Hudson in New Jersey about 25 km from Midtown, with the bridges, tunnels and expressways between them among the busiest roads in America. 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 New York journey: fixed price, flight tracked, straight to the hotel door.

Onward flights or trains from New York the same day can be added to the booking; let us know and we choose a Cairo to New York departure that leaves a safe connection.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Cairo to New York flight

Baggage is the item that most often changes the real cost of a flight from Cairo to New York. Full-service fares generally include a checked bag and a cabin bag; low-cost fares start with a small cabin bag and add the rest. We tell you the allowance of the fare we send, and whether adding a suitcase at booking is cheaper than at the airport (it almost always is). Seats can be selected on most airlines for a fee or free at check-in; in economy and business the differences are space, meals and flexibility.

• 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
• Seat selection free or paid depending on the airline; families seated together on request
• Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare

Flying with children, families and groups from Cairo to New York

Three things to know about the flight from Cairo to New York with children: infants under two fly on a lap, children get their own seat and normally 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 New York when you land

Times Square, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Bridge, the 9/11 Memorial and One World Observatory and the High Line and Hudson Yards are what most travellers come to New York for. New York City is served by three airports: John F. Kennedy (JFK) in Queens about 25 km from Midtown Manhattan, LaGuardia (LGA) about 15 km away, and Newark (EWR) across the Hudson in New Jersey about 25 km from Midtown, with the bridges, tunnels and expressways between them among the busiest roads in America. Eat dim sum in Chinatown, a halal-cart platter in Midtown and cheesecake for dessert while you are there.

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

Best time to fly from Cairo to New York

Spring and autumn are the pleasant seasons, summer is hot and humid, and winter cold with occasional snow; the Van Wyck Expressway from JFK and the tunnels into Manhattan are slowest on weekday evenings. For the fare itself, the cheapest flights from Cairo to New York are found outside school holidays and major events, on mid-week days, booked early. Peak weeks sell out first and cost most; shoulder months give the best mix of weather, availability and price.

Return flight from New York to Cairo

We book the return leg from New York to Cairo just as easily, usually on the same ticket. Booking both directions together lets us compare a return fare against two singles - on some airlines the return is much cheaper, on others two one-ways with different carriers win. Let us know the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.

How much is a flight from Cairo to New York?

"How much is the Cairo to New York 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 provides the current cost for your date within minutes of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.

Just ask for two or three options and we send the cost of each - for example the cheapest fare with hand luggage only, the same flight with a checked bag, and the best-timed departure of the day - so the comparison is in front of you before you book.

Cheapest flight from Cairo to New York: how to pay less

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

• Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we verify
• 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
• Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are typically cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares
• Tell us if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot

When you complete the form, mention if you can move your dates. We scan the fares around them and send the cheapest Cairo to New York flight first, then the alternatives.
