I think AF are the exception, so they may be worth a look. But the flight time is typically closer to four hours and one way tickets from CAI on BA, can often be had for less than 100 GBP. Take whatever suits, but I'd still be incined to go for a non-stop over a connecting flight that might nearly double the journey time. I have had to use Egyptair for some odd destinations and find them not too bad.
LH, IS, LX and AZ may be using shorthaul aircraft to CAI but they haven’t switched to BOB on this route unlike BA.
