I also hate that this service has to lie-flat option with BA. However, I still travel to CAI on these services occasionally because I have to go there anyway and TATL tickets ex-CAI are still super good value and allow stopovers and are flexible for changes.
Next weekend I start a CAI-LHR-ATL // DEN-ORD-LHR // MUC-LHR-CAI. This is all J with GUF to F for around GBP 1,100.
Being flexible I tend to finish one ticket and start the next over a weekend in Cairo which is more than covered by the savings on the ticket.
