Istanbul (IST) to Cairo (CAI)

How do you get the best deal on a flight from IST to CAI?

Hotwire has been doing this for years, which means getting that great deal on a Cairo flight is easy-peasy. You can pocket that extra cash for more than just getting from point A to point B with a little know-how.

Which days of the week are cheapest to fly?

With the right attitude and flexibility, you can fly for less. Below are the cheapest days to fly:

  • Tuesday and Wednesday—You know how most stores are not crowded midweek? Same thing here. So, get on while the getting is good.
  • Thursday and Saturday—Get a head start on that Friday crowd. This also works on your return flight. Shorten your holiday by a day and increase your savings.
  • Monday through Thursday—If you're flying internationally, deals are often available when departing these days.

What's the Saturday night stay rule?

Spending the weekend at your destination, like Cairo, usually means a more affordable ticket since most people fly during this time. Good thing to tell your boss if you have a business trip -- wink-wink.

Can you save while traveling during the off-peak season?

There's good reason that many people travel during certain times of the year -- they want to enjoy incredible weather. Summertime is when Europe, Hawaii, and Alaska are at their most popular. Florida, New Orleans, and Southern California are the most popular in springtime. Winter is prime for Mexico and the Caribbean because of its warm weather, as well as ski and snowboard destinations like the Colorado Rockies. In the fall, Northern California, the Pacific Northwest, and New England draw visitors. Flying during the off-peak seasons to certain locations can mean extra money in your wallet -- yes, please!
