hi all.
have now booked the flights to cairo after having searched for hours onthe net to find decent times with no long stopover delays (the thomas cook flights flew at 4pm GMT to athens and then didn't actually get to cairo until *am cairo time) this would have meant adding a day onto the holiday to make it worth actually forking out to go. our flights are now with swiss airlines (cairo? yes i know nowhere near switzerland!). we fly at 6.45am 2 march GMT and stop in zurixh for 45 mins and then fly straight to cairo, landing at 2.45pm cairo time. this way we get half on sunday (get settled, monday, tuesday, wednesday and half on thursday cosa we don't fly out until 4pm cairo time. get back late thursday night and will trVLE THOUGH the night to get home, fall into bed and then collect charlie early friday am.
we found our flights on a website that caters for travellers under 26 and you get your flights at reduced rates if you hold a youth card (which costs £6 from the same company).
