New york -> cairo airline options
Hello
I am a member of the press and I have to fly from NYC to Cairo tonight.
As AA is not flying direct, any suggestions as to what flight/airline i should connect that has less chances to get cancelled due to the unrest?
any tips will be much appreciated

I believe Delta may fly a JFK-Cairo nonstop.

If my company was sending me into Cairo right now, a G650 would be a must have...and it would need to stay on the ground waiting to evacuate me.

Prob the best bet is RJ from NYC-AMM-CAI. AMM close proximity and recently increased frequency of flights should allow for quicker exit when needed.
Egyptair may be direct, however keep in mind they are not flying during the curfew hours.

BA offers some good connection opportunities as well.
That being said, DL nonstop and RJ one-stop arrive CAI at 4:25 p.m.+1 and 7:00 p.m.+1 respectively.
Egyptair arrives 12:15 +1 in the afternoon...
You might want to take these variables into consideration.
I also don't know what the schedules are with the current situation in Egypt.

RJ gets you into AMM, a short hop from CAI.
A quick search uisng the OneWorld flight tool seems to show 4 flights per day between CAI and AMM...
LHR-CAI is once a day and I would prefer RJ over BA due to the increase in frequency, plus AMM is a short hop away.
