Does Egypt Air Have Sales?

I am looking to travel from jfk-cai in June o/w. Right now, the fare is about $950. Is this about right, or will it go down if I wait?

Thanks!

I've just seen your thread in the other European forum. So you want to fly JFK-CAI, ATH-JFK. Why don't you just buy a single open-jaw ticket??

Thanks for your advice, I thought of that, but the non-stop pairing seems to be about $3700. I think it's cheaper to buy two one-ways, but am just trying to figure out if now's the right time to buy them.

Any thoughts?

Do you have to fly non-stop? Neither Egyptair nor OA would be anywhere near the top of my "preferred airlines" list. If I were you, and especially if having to fly in the back, I'd much rather fly a decent airline and transfer somewhere in N./C. Europe...

In fact, a search on ITAsoftware for random dates in June shows a $1467 all-in fare going with CSA via PRG and returning on a nonstop DL flight.
My advice: bite their hand off!!
