Anyone done Alitalia to BA? I'm positioning with AZ at the end of Oct, arrive CAI 02.35, booked Novotel then on the 09.35 BA to LHR so fingers crossed no issues (seen that Novotel will come and meet at immigration)
For the return however no hotel, planning to be at mercy of transit- I arrive in CAI at 00.35 with BA, then leave with AZ at 04.30, which is the same terminal (T2). Plan is to do hand luggage only from HNL, but use the earlier 8hr layover I have at LHR to go home and dump roller so that I do CAI turn with just a small bag. Hellish 10hr transit in FCO though. Will assess my experience on this before booking hotels/pos. Flights for my May 18 trip!

I'd like to leave Cairo on July 7 or late June. Transit points, I'd like to spend a bit of time in HNL if possible (2-3 days), and then go back to Cairo after HNL. As for airline, it does not matter as long as it still gives me a business option.

Still, 4 hrs in CAI is more a routine connection than a "transit". It will amount to no more than 1 hr of really free time.
Now, 10 hrs in FCO is a different story. I am not familiar with FCO, but you do have to be prepared for it with basic comfort and entertainment items of your own.

Why is 8/10 the last date? Just curious. The BA fare IRCME, upon which the itinerary is based, does not have any such expiration. (However, this is from a quick scan at EF; I haven't tried to ticket anything with such dates.)

..And in the same vein, am arriving CAI on the BA 321 (00.35) T2 and am looking to leave next morning on the 09.10 MS service back to LHR from T3. I would rather avoid staying in a hotel for a few hours or even a day and a few hours, so is it feasible to remain in the airport during the layover? A question for PtF, the resident CAI guru.....
Is CAI really that bad??
