Cheap flights from Rzeszow to Cairo

November is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar runs from September through March, so the whole cool-season window is worth watching. Egyptian winter is mild, which is why December and January fill up with holiday travellers and fares climb — book those weeks well ahead. Late autumn and early spring are quieter, and midweek departures usually cost less than weekend ones. Polish school breaks and the Christmas period push prices up at both ends, so if your dates are flexible, aim for the weeks between them.

Three carriers serve this route: LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa and Lufthansa Cityline. All are full-service rather than low-cost, and none flies Rzeszow to Cairo non-stop, so every itinerary includes a change of plane and a longer travel day than the map suggests. Each airline connects through its own hub, and Lufthansa Cityline often operates the shorter regional leg under a Lufthansa flight number, which means the aircraft and cabin can change between legs. What is included differs by fare: a light ticket may leave checked baggage and seat selection out, while a flexible one bundles them in. Read the fare rules before you compare.

You land at Cairo International, the city's main gateway, which sits a short drive northeast of the centre — outside rush hour the transfer is quick, but Cairo traffic can stretch it a lot. Taxis and ride-hailing apps are the usual ways into town; agree the fare or check the app price before you get in, and take a metered or app-booked car over drivers who approach you inside the terminal. Check which terminal your flight uses, especially if you are connecting there. Keep some local currency for the ride and your first hours, and have your hotel address written down so you can show it to the driver.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check that your departure airport is Jasionka — Rzeszow has only one, so a mix-up means a long detour.
• Confirm whether both legs sit on a single ticket, because separate bookings leave you carrying the risk of a missed connection.
• Read what your fare includes for checked baggage, as a light fare on a long connecting trip can end up costing more.
• Check your passport validity and the current entry rules for Egypt before you pay.
• Compare the price calendar from September through March and aim for November if your dates are open.
• Look at total journey time, not just departure time — the cheaper connection often adds hours.
