Cheapest flight from London to Cairo: how to pay less

Finding cheap flights from London to Cairo is timing plus flexibility. Here is how Haqqi Tours finds the lowest fare on the route:

• 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

• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares

You choose, we book, and the electronic ticket arrives in the same chat.

Airlines flying from London to Cairo

On the flight from London to Cairo you can choose between British Airways and EgyptAir. A full-service airline generally includes a checked bag, a meal and a flexible ticket; a low-cost fare is cheaper at the start and adds those items one by one. We provide both and tell you the total for the way you actually travel.

• British Airways - London to Cairo
• EgyptAir - London to Cairo

Departure: London Heathrow (LHR)

London Heathrow (LHR) is where the London 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.

• 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 e-ticket - names must match exactly
• Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
• Haqqi Tours can provide a private transfer from your hotel in London to London Heathrow

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 hotel 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 London to Cairo departure that leaves a safe connection.

Baggage, seats and classes on the London to Cairo flight

Baggage is the item that most often changes the real cost of a flight from London to Cairo. Full-service fares normally 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 carrier; 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 London to Cairo

Travelling with children? Put the ages on the form: infants and children have different fares and different baggage allowances, and we apply both. Groups - a company, a school, a wedding party - are booked together so everyone sits in the same section and one confirmation covers the whole party. Haqqi Tours also provides the minivans and Sprinters that carry a group between the airport and the hotel at both ends.

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 the Grand Egyptian Museum, Khan el-Khalili bazaar and the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir, then the Citadel of Saladin and Muhammad Ali Mosque and Al-Azhar and Al-Muizz Street. 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 London to Cairo

Flights from London to Cairo run all year, several a day. 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. 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 Cairo to London

We book the return leg from Cairo to London 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. Tell us the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.

How much is a flight from London to Cairo?

The cost of a flight from London to Cairo depends on the date, the time of day, the airline, the fare class and how far ahead you book. Airlines sell seats in tiers that rise as the plane fills, so the same seat can cost several times more on a holiday weekend than on a quiet Tuesday. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price on this page: we check the live fares for your exact date across every airline on the route and send you the real cost by WhatsApp, with the options side by side.

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.
