BA to JFK business. Also similar prices with Swiss and Lufthansa.
If Cairo not your cup of tea, have a look at the BA flights ex IST to JFK

Fare rules seem to state you can do unlimited stopovers and HIP pricing doesn’t kick in but I can’t seem to price a trip with this fare with stops in LHR in either or both directions. How come?
UNLIMITED STOPOVERS PERMITTED ON THE OUTBOUND AND ON
THE INBOUND FARE COMPONENTS
LIMITED TO 2 FREE AND UNLIMITED AT USD 300.00
EACH.

Sep 14 CAI-LHR
Sep 21 LGW-JFK
Sep 28 JFK-LHR-CAI
Note the price goes up a few hundred to ~1700 USD because of UK APD.

Was about to book an ex-CAI ticket then noticed that - glad I checked. It's too long of a flight in garbage Club Europe.

OP-- Thanks for the quality post!
two questions-
If I want to credit to Alaska , how do I tell the booking class for business on BA?
Also it seems only part of it would be on BA? Am I missing something?
Thanks
BA/Alaska newbie.
I have figured out that the best deal on Alaska's mileage plan is long haul BA premium cabin.

Interesting fare because I saw that it had to be Sept 14 on outbound and Sept 28 on the return or the price skyrocketed. I guess it's a 14 day fare. I even tried return on Sept 21 thinking it might be a Wednesday thing. But to no avail.
Now the exciting thing is when these same fare will be available to west Coast non stop from London

Shouldn't require 14 days:
It's probably just an availability issue (no I availability) on the specific dates you were searching.

Sorry for the ignorant question, but why is this flight significantly more expensive if you just flip the cities and do JFK > CAI? Is that typical? Starting in Cairo is pretty wide open with ~$1,500 fares. While starting in New York is $2,100+.
