Cairo transfer from T1 to T2
Anyone recently did this transfer?
Will arrive by Meridiana in Y, Terminal 1. Have about 3.5h before Air France J, Terminal 2.
Any guidelines to smoothen (and fasten) the process.
Experiences and other input appreciated.

If you have checked bags you are forced into a landside transfer, unless by some miracle you get your bags tagged through.
If with hand baggage only, you can do an airside transfer, which means you escape the visa purchase. Just have with you a printout of your ticket, or itinerary, and present yourself at the transfer desk and get carried through the system
It's not a unique situation: Cairo's a major air transport hub. And while most transfers are within the STAR T3 Terminal, there are hundreds if inter-terminal connections made each day.

sorry for pumping up the old thread, anyone have experience transfer from Cairo T3 to T2? Arriving from CAN and connecting to FRA. Do I need a transit visa or I can do the transit airside? Both on Egyptair btw.

Your question is impossible to answer as written.

The question is rather simple: Can I transfer airside from T3 to T2 in CAI?
