CAI-USA-EZE-USA-CAI J ~2000-2400 4.3cpm AA/BA
Great deals out of Cairo recently. Thought to check South America through OW much like last year's Euro-SCL-Euro fare (which I flew). This one will net you 40k+ eqms depending on connections in the US. Can route through about all east coast AA hubs and also DFW. Best routing I've found has been:
CAI-LHR-JFK-DFW-EZE-DFW-LHR-CAI
$2052
24558 flown miles
BA flight numbers between LHR and CAI, AA numbers on the rest
Comes out to 46919 eqms and about 4.37 cpm, if my math is correct
If you book through travel portal, could get 4911 eqd, for an eqd multplier of 2.4
Example itin over Memorial day weekend. One night in JFK required.

Lots of other points avail in every continent for similar price but can't find a way to make a stop in SA more than a day or so.

Be aware:
1) Laptop ban on flights from CAI
2) On AA itineraries to/from CAI, expect to be stopped at the airport on your flight to the US (both from europe and south america) and to have CBP take you for a "chat" both times you arrive in the US. I've done it before so I speak from experience

Sorry to hear this. I'd previously heard that any travel that included IST resulted in a spate of SSSS, but hadn't heard of problems with CAI. You're saying that itineraries that include CAI, when you land in the US, CBP does a secondary interview with you when clearing immigration? Did you also get SSSS on your onward BP? Or for subsequent trips?
