UPDATE – Egyptair Flights (10 Aug 2019)
Egypt air appears to be making quite a few changes to flights already booked by some of my Oct/Nov guests. I am guessing some flights have been oversold. If you intend flying Cairo to Luxor I advise early booking of flights.
TIP – How to Get the BEST PRICES
I quote the cheapest price for dates I don’t yet have bookings for. As the dates fill up the price goes up. So the earlier you confirm a booking with me the cheaper the price.
TIP – DEC/JAN – Don’t be disappointed!
It’s bitterly disappointing to research a trip, only to find you can’t book it.
Dec and Jan every year all over Egypt can sell out 6 months in advance. Especially for cruises (not enough boats now), the better hotels and internal FLIGHTS. Your options for flights are Egypt Air and Nile Air. When they sell out, that’s it, your only other option Cairo to Luxor is by overnight train and it too can sell out. I hear from people every year who don’t realise this and can’t complete their bookings for Dec and Jan.
TIP – NILE CRUISE ALTERNATIVE
If you can’t get availability on a GOOD Nile Cruise boat Nov – Jan, Alexandria is an interesting alternative option.
A GOOD quality Nile Cruise Boat is essential for your enjoyment and comfort. Remember it’s not like you can “jump ship” after the boat leaves Luxor! Imagine being “stuck” for 4 nights somewhere you don’t want to be…ugh! Speaking from experience because I did actually “jump ship” in Edfu with my guests many years ago – but it was only possible because I knew the manager on another boat and they had spare cabins. Our booked boat looked lovely, very sophisticated but the food was all “french cuisine” translated as “not much of it” and my guests needed some potatoes and meat!
