both those flights are not on the schedule for 22 nov. talked to MS and they said totally sold out- but we’re confused .
Anyone know if that is usual? could a tour or charter group purchased all seats and then could give some back to MS closer to departure? Trying to arrange flights back to the us and need that segment at that time- thank you so much for any help!
I had exactly this problem about six months ago. Found a ASW-CAI flight late in the afternoon with MS that worked well with us heading to Abu Simbel. After getting agreement from the rest of our travelling party (about a week or so later) the flight was fully booked (five and a half months ahead of time). We waited for a few days hoping it would pop back up with availability but never did. Ended up booking on Air Cairo’s flight early afternoon, which meant a very early start to see Abu Simbel (was worth it though).
I don’t know if you can make the Air Cairo flight times work, but we found them perfectly ok. It’s a low cost airline but (I think at least partly) owned by MS. Sorry I can’t give a more concrete answer!
