Cheap flights from Granada to Cairo

Book well ahead for the cheaper December dates, since the best-priced seats on this connecting route go first. January and February fall after the winter holidays and tend to be calmer, while November, March and May spread the demand across the rest of the year.

Fares on this route differ in what they include: the full-service carriers fold in more, while the low-cost option starts lean and charges for bags, seat selection and food. Iberia and Air Nostrum operate the connecting services, and Vueling Airlines adds the low-cost choice, so compare the total cost rather than the headline fare.

Arriving late in the day changes the transfer: public transport thins out and taxi queues grow, so plan the last leg before landing. Cairo International sits well outside the centre, and taxis or ride-hailing are the usual way in, with buses as the cheaper option.
