tl;dr version:
For example, Egypt Air has good deals now from JFK to CAI with travel dates in June, but if I return in August the cost is high.

I'm PHL and prefer to depart from here but JFK/Newark are options. IAD is a little more difficult to get to. I want to fly to AMM or CAI and depart from either or TLV. My aim is to depart PHL around June 3 and begin the return flight on August 2 or 3.
ITA Matrix is one of the best options for searching for flights. Consider search airports nearby on either end, may find cheaper options available. The expense is more related to the time of year rather than the duration of the trip.
