Departure: Athens International Airport (ATH)

Your journey starts at Athens International Airport (ATH). 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. Metro Line 3 runs from the airport to Syntagma in about 40 minutes and the X95 bus follows; a hotel on Plaka's pedestrian lanes, a ferry at Piraeus with a departure time, or a Riviera hotel is simpler by car from the terminal.

• Haqqi Tours provides a private transfer from your accommodation in Athens to Athens International Airport
• Let us know about the terminal and fast-track options at Athens International Airport
• 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

Arrival: Cairo International Airport (CAI) and getting into Cairo

Arrival is at Cairo International Airport (CAI), and the first decision is how to reach the city. 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. We provide airport transfers in Cairo with a driver at arrivals, and we also tell you honestly if the train or metro from the airport is the better choice for where you are staying.

Arriving late at night? We note it and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the flight; a delay costs you nothing.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Athens to Cairo flight

Before you compare the Athens to Cairo flight prices, compare what they carry. A fare with hand luggage only can look cheapest and end up dearer once a bag is added. Haqqi Tours can provide the fare that matches your bags: cabin bag only for a short trip, checked bag for a holiday, extra allowance for a long stay. Seat selection, meals and priority boarding are optional extras on many airlines; we tell you which are worth it.

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

Flying with children, families and groups from Athens to Cairo

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

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. Start with Coptic Cairo and the Hanging Church, Saqqara and the Step Pyramid and the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, then the Grand Egyptian Museum and Khan el-Khalili bazaar. A tip from our desk: Cairo hotels are spread over 40 km from Heliopolis to Giza - give us the hotel name and district so the driver takes the right ring-road exit.

We offer tours and transfers in Cairo as well as the flight ticket - one conversation, one plan for the whole trip.

Best time to fly from Athens to Cairo

October to April is the comfortable season; summer is very hot, and Cairo traffic is heavy in the evenings and lighter in the early morning and on Friday mornings. For the fare itself, the cheapest flights from Athens to Cairo 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 Cairo to Athens

The Cairo to Athens flight is the same route in reverse, about 2 hours. Haqqi Tours arranges 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 Athens to Cairo?

Flight prices from Athens to Cairo follow demand: book early on a quiet day and you pay a fraction of a last-minute fare in high season. The airline you choose, whether the fare includes baggage, the seat class and the time of the flight all change the total. Rather than quote a number that will be wrong tomorrow, Haqqi Tours checks the fare for the day you want to fly and sends it to you by WhatsApp before you decide.

Ask us 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 Athens to Cairo: how to pay less

• Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
