EgyptAir connects Bucharest with Cairo a few times a week, popular with Egyptian residents and visitors; the schedule changes by season, so we finalise the departure days before booking.
Departure: Henri Coandă International Airport (Otopeni) (OTP)
Henri Coandă International Airport (Otopeni) (OTP) is where the Bucharest to Cairo flight begins. Terminals, gates and closing times are in the confirmation we send, with a note on the airport's security and passport checks. Arrive with a proper margin; low-cost carriers in particular close bag drop strictly on time.
- Arrive about 2 hours before an international departure, 90 minutes before a domestic one

- Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the e-ticket - names must match exactly
- Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
Arrival: Cairo International Airport (CAI) and getting into Cairo
You arrive at Cairo International Airport (CAI). 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. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your accommodation in Cairo, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.
Onward flights or trains from Cairo the same day can be added to the booking; let us know and we choose a Bucharest to Cairo departure that leaves a safe connection.
Baggage, seats and classes on the Bucharest to Cairo flight
On board, the Bucharest to Cairo flight is about 3 hours 20 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. Tell us who is flying and what you are carrying and we choose accordingly.
- 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
- Cabin bag on every fare; checked bag included on full-service fares, optional on low-cost ones
Flying with children, families and groups from Bucharest to Cairo
Families fly the Bucharest to Cairo route with us every week. Infants under two travel on a lap at a small fare; children have a seat and a child fare where the airline offers one; pushchairs are checked free at the gate on most airlines. We seat the family together, order children's meals where they exist and choose a departure time that suits nap and bedtime. For groups, we book the seats in one reservation and ask the carrier for a group fare where the numbers justify it.
Things to do in Cairo when you land
Saqqara and the Step Pyramid, the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, the Grand Egyptian Museum, Khan el-Khalili bazaar and the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir are what most passengers come to Cairo for. 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. Eat koshari from a downtown counter, ful and ta'ameya for breakfast and grilled kofta and kebab in Khan el-Khalili while you are there.
Haqqi Tours can provide guided tours, tickets, airport transfers and private drivers in Cairo; ask when you book the flight and we send the options.
Best time to fly from Bucharest 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 Bucharest 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 Bucharest
Coming back? Say so on the form. A return flight ticket from Cairo to Bucharest booked with the outbound is often cheaper than two separate bookings, and it keeps the trip on one WhatsApp thread with one point of contact.
How much is a flight from Bucharest to Cairo?
Flight prices from Bucharest 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 in the WhatsApp chat before you decide.
What the price we send includes: the ticket in the fare class you chose, the taxes and airport charges, the baggage that fare carries, and our service - comparing the airlines, booking, sending the e-ticket and helping if the flight changes. We tell you clearly if a bag or a seat costs extra on that fare.
Cheapest flight from Bucharest to Cairo: how to pay less
The cheapest flight from Bucharest to Cairo is normally booked early, flown mid-week and chosen with the baggage you actually need. These are the rules our booking desk applies on every booking:
- 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
- Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are usually cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
When you complete the form, mention if you can move your dates. We scan the fares around them and send the cheapest Bucharest to Cairo flight first, then the alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.

Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children two and over need a seat and generally pay a child fare. Give the ages on the form and we apply the right fares and seat the family together.
Can Haqqi Tours arrange airport transfers?
Yes - a private car from your accommodation to Henri Coandă International Airport (Otopeni) and a driver waiting at Cairo International Airport, with flight tracking, on the same confirmation as the ticket.
How much is a flight from Bucharest to Cairo?
Fares change daily with demand. We do not print prices because they would be wrong tomorrow; send the form and we reply with the real cost of the Bucharest to Cairo flight for your date, with the baggage included spelled out.
Where do I land in Cairo?
Cairo International Airport (CAI). Taxis and metro, tram or bus leave from arrivals, and Haqqi Tours can have a driver waiting with your name.
Can I change or cancel my flight ticket?
It depends on the carrier and the fare class - flexible tickets can be changed, the cheapest generally cannot. We spell out the conditions before you confirm and handle any change for you afterwards.
What if my flight is delayed or cancelled?
The carrier must rebook you and may owe assistance or compensation under the rules that apply; our WhatsApp desk guides you through it. A transfer booked with us tracks the flight, so the driver waits.
How do I book flights from Bucharest to Cairo?
Fill in the short form on this page with the date you travel, one-way or return, the number of adults and children and the class. Haqqi Tours messages you on WhatsApp with the flights, the baggage included and the cost; you confirm, we book and send the electronic ticket.
Can I choose my seat?
On most airlines, yes - free at check-in or for a small fee at booking. Tell us your preference by WhatsApp and we add it.
Can I book the Bucharest to Cairo flight for a group?
Certainly. Give the number of travellers on the form; we book everyone together in one reservation and, when the numbers justify it, ask the carrier for a group fare.
What is the cheapest flight from Bucharest to Cairo?
Generally an early-booked mid-week departure on the carrier with the lowest fare that day, with only the baggage you need. Let us know if your dates are flexible and we find the cheapest Bucharest to Cairo flight across the days you can travel.
Is baggage included in the Bucharest to Cairo flight ticket?
Not always. Full-service fares generally include a checked bag; low-cost and basic fares include hand luggage only. We state exactly what each fare includes before you book and add a bag where it is cheaper to do so at booking.
Do I need to print the e-ticket?
No - the electronic ticket and the booking reference on your phone are enough for check-in. We send both and remind you to carry the passport or ID used for booking.
Can I add extra baggage or sports equipment?
Yes - extra bags, skis, golf clubs and bicycles can be added at booking on most airlines, at a lower rate than at the airport. Tell us what you are carrying.
Which airlines fly from Bucharest to Cairo?
EgyptAir. We compare their fares, timings and baggage for your dates and send the ones that make sense.
What is the difference between economy and business class?
Business class means a much larger seat, a meal, lounge access, priority boarding and normally a more flexible ticket; economy is the practical choice for a 3 hours 20 minutes flight. We send the cost of both.
