This has been around for a while. Also works to a few other cites in Japan, for ex Sapporo/CTS and OSAKA/KIX via Seoul with AZ or KE.

You can force a stopover in ICN for 24 hours if booking via ITA Matrix/Powertools.
I belive the KE flight ICN-CTS/KIX etc have to be booked under AZ code, but correct me if i'm wrong. :-)

Would love to try this but getting to Cairo from Norway is to expensive...

Indeed, longhaul J on the A330/B777 is really nice with AZ. Especially great meals and wine.
