Cheap flights from Wroclaw to Cairo

October is the cheapest month on this route, so if your dates can move, build the trip around it. Fares also stay reasonable from late autumn into winter, while the summer months and the Christmas period cost more. Cairo is at its most comfortable from autumn through spring and hot in high summer, so October and the spring months work best for sightseeing. Midweek departures usually undercut the weekend, and booking ahead matters more on low-cost seats than on full-service fares.

Wizz Air is the low-cost name here, with the lightest fares and the most extras charged separately. LOT Polish Airlines is the full-service Polish carrier in the mix. Direct flights exist on the route, while Lufthansa, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Air France sell one-stop itineraries through their hubs, with Lufthansa Cityline, Air Dolomiti, Helvetic Airways and Air Baltic often flying the feeder legs. American Airlines appears on longer, multi-stop routings. On low-cost tickets expect to pay extra for checked bags and seat choice; full-service fares usually bundle more.

Cairo International is the gateway to the Egyptian capital and handles the direct flights as well as the connections. It sits outside the city to the northeast, and the drive into the centre can take a while once traffic builds, so allow slack both on the way in and on the way back to the airport. Taxis and ride-hailing apps are the usual ways into town, and many hotels arrange transfers. Agree the fare or confirm the app price before you set off, and keep small change handy. If you land late, check that your hotel reception is staffed around the clock.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check that your departure is from Strachowice, the only airport serving Wroclaw, so there is no last-minute switch.
• If you book a low-cost fare, add up the checked bag and seat fees before comparing it with a full-service ticket.
• When a connection is sold on separate tickets, leave a long gap in case the first flight is delayed.
• Confirm your passport is valid well beyond your travel dates and check the current entry rules for Egypt.
• Fly in October if you can, and book early for the Christmas and summer peaks.
• Decide whether you want a direct flight or a cheaper one-stop routing through a European hub.
