Egyptair First JFK-CAI?

Anyone ever experienced this? It's dirt cheap - USD1700 or so.

After MS990 they may have a lot of empty seats.

Please remember that EGYPTAIR is a DRY airline.

No wonder they can sell seats for half the price of the others.

I acknowledge the object of FT is to get the most for least (including the drinks (where relevant / ethical / possible / legal)), but I am still puzzled why EgyptAir is a valid thread in the OW forum (unless it means you can transfer to a non dry airline somewhere on their route network)......

Perhaps becasue CAI is the least expensive place to buy a OWE today and to do that one needs to get there -- in many cases from the U.S.

Thanks guys for setting me straight. Not meaning to hijack the thread, but curiosity got the better of me.

Egypt Air used to sell really cheap FC tix between SIN and SYD. Seating is substandard compared to other premium FCs (probably no better than a good "business first" type seat.
