Thanks for posting, but it looks like this is only valid for Military Personnel? 
Could definitely be useful for men and women in the service, but we should probably indicate this up front if that is the case.....

It doesn't hurt to try booking on militaryfares.com. After you fill in and submit your booking you still need to wait for them (not very long) to email you the booking ID, and your credit card will only be charged after they have booked you into the flight.

A nice fare to CAI but even if it earns ST miles, the transfer (and visa requirements) at SVO make this a stay away. Still, if you *need* to get to Egypt... (and if you're in the military, apparently...)

Not sure I'd book a ticket to Cairo right now (see news headlines), but if I wanted to go, are there any low fare airlines serving Cairo from Europe? I thought I saw some discount players start service. Not sure if the fares are super low, though, like to Morocco and Turkey. My general rule of thumb these days for anything near the Mediterranean is to see if I can get there from Europe after finding a cheapo transatlantic fare.

You don't need a transfer visa unless you intend to stay day or two.
