extra 5 % for a ticket in Cairo?
hello, I'm planning to buy a one world ticket in Cairo. But I heard of someone that they charge a extra 5 % of the price of the ticket fot the services. Does anyone know if this is correct?
Thanks
Thanks

Both BA and AA (Emeco) in Cairo charge exactly the published price + taxes. By taxes I mean whatever departure, security and similar taxes are levied by the airports/airlines you are using.

There is also a tax that Egypt charges based on the price of the ticket. It's 5% but it's capped at a certain amount. I can't remember what it is but you can find the info on the Internet if you do a google search.

The 5% international transportation tax is capped at EGP300 (48) for first class and EGP100 (16) for all other classes.

I believe LHR is one of the most expensive airports in the world from which to depart.
