Chris is correct, of course. The ticket was purchased in CAI and the price was so good due to the rapidly declining Egyptian Pound (25% since the first of the year). However, remember what happened when the South African Rand crashed -- OW raised the prices. I expect it will happen in CAI if the EGP doesn't stabilize soon.

BTW, In the 6 weeks since I purchased my ticket, the price has gone down US$300, even with the dollar's decline of 5%-10% against gold, XDRs and the €!
