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!
Given that you already have plans to use this fare again for another trip and it allows stopovers, you should have just started your next one when you arrive in CAI. Saves needing positioning flights every time, you just start the next one and have a stopover in LON. You have to pay UK APD of £150 though, but it's worth it to save having to go to CAI at the start of the next trip. You can avoid this by complicated routings via DUB if you wish.

What are you trying to achieve? Please be more specific and I can help you. Give me preferred dates and routings, preferred airlines/aircraft and transit points.

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.

I don't mind anything else in regards to airline, transit points, etc...

Thank you so much!

Call BA, or use a Travel Agent, to book. Feed the agent the exact flight numbers and dates. They are very used to this.

Yeah, as we travel around we realize that every place is not AMS or SIN.

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.

You cannot get your exact dates, based on I class availability, but this is close enough - the last LHR-CAI would be on the 10th Aug, but you could move your LAX-LHR to give you more time in London if you wanted.

I found one for £1,221 the other day and could barely believe it.

Now I can't remember exactly how I did it, lol.

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.)

Hmm...maybe scratch that request. Have now read the Skytrax CAI airport reviews which have absolutely and universally panned the place. So the prospect of doing a wee-hours turnaround there after 4 days of longhauls -and with the final leg back to LHR by MS in Y has well and truly lost its attraction. I could do with the TPs and do need the BA leg to make the 4 eligible flights but on reflection perhaps not that badly.

Is CAI really that bad??
