There are no nonstop flights on this route, so the journey requires a connection. A typical one-stop itinerary takes around 16 to 20 hours, depending on layover times and routing.", "methodology": "Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.", "toolsUsed": [ "flight_schedule" ] }, "q3": { "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Cairo?", "answer": "At Cairo International Airport, taxis are the most-used option, with official white taxis and ride-hailing apps like Uber available outside the terminals. A taxi to downtown typically takes 45–75 minutes depending on traffic and costs E£150–250. The Cairo Metro Line 3 now connects the airport to the city center, offering a reliable and affordable alternative for around E£5–10. Buses, including the Cairo Transport Authority and private minibuses, are plentiful but can be crowded and confusing for first-time visitors. Car rentals are available but not recommended due to heavy congestion, while private airport shuttles or hotel transfers are the most comfortable choice.", "toolsUsed": [ "article_lookup" ], "references": [ { "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_in_Cairo", "title": "Transport in Cairo", "favicon": "https://en.wikipedia.org/static/apple-touch/wikipedia.png", "time_published": "2026-04-27T17:21:32Z" }, { "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport%20in%20Cairo", "title": "Transport in Cairo", "time_published": "2026-04-27T17:21:32Z" }, { "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Cairo_Airport", "title": "El Cairo Airport", "time_published": "2026-07-06T01:39:30Z" }, { "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El%20Cairo%20Airport", "title": "El Cairo Airport", "time_published": "2023-03-09T20:05:13Z" }, { "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cairo_Metro", "title": "Cairo Metro", "favicon": "https://en.wikipedia.org/static/apple-touch/wikipedia.png", "time_published": "2026-07-18T16:48:52Z" } ], "methodology": "Airport details are drawn from the sources listed with this answer, primarily the airport operator's official website along with airline, lounge-operator and transit-authority pages, collected by our research process and refreshed periodically.

December is also the priciest month at $523 on average.", "methodology": "Seasonal fares come from Priceline's own air booking-summary archive, analysed in-house and refreshed monthly. For each day of the year we take a representative round-trip fare, a blend of the 25th-percentile and average ticket price over the route's bookings, and smooth the series into a seasonal curve; the half-month low and high and the monthly figures quoted here are averages of that curve.

Booking about 35 days ahead yields the cheapest fares (around $369), while booking very early (180 days out) or at the last minute pushes prices above $430–$568. During summer and holiday peaks, expect the cheapest window to shift slightly earlier and baseline fares to run higher.", "methodology": "Booking-window guidance comes from the same monthly in-house analysis of Priceline's own air booking-summary archive. We aggregate the route's bookings by how many days before departure they were made, from about 180 days out to the day of travel, smooth the curve, and highlight the stretch of lead times with the lowest average fare.

RTD also runs several bus routes, including the frequent express SkyRide service from various park‑n‑rides.
