We started an OWE in CAI for obvious reasons, and I didn't have quite enough miles available to get from LAX to CAI 'for free' n a premium cabin - although for those of us without a million miles in the account, there's still a cost of using miles - in a premium cabin. Paying almost anyone for the trip would have eliminated the savings, so we asked here about using Egyptair, who offer a USD1500 fare JFK-CAI in F.

In case anyone wants to follow in our footsteps/contrails, here's our opinion: "it was worth $1500".

The equipment is a 777, seats are okay old-style leather, enough recline to get some sleep if you're not too picky. The nearest thing I can compare it to is KLM biz class across the Atlantic. MS F was way better than KL D. I don't have any experience with BA J/C/D but don't doubt that it's worlds better, but more than twice the price.
