So, i was hearing these prices about Egypt airfares and I was thinking it sounded crazy. I work at a travel agency and I looked up some Egypt airfares for Dec 20-Jan14 and I came up with about $2200. Sometimes its better to check with an agency, so maybe you guys can end up in Egypt for the holidays!

Byron is 31 years old....He was born in Bogota Colombia and came to the US when he was 5 years old.....he grew up in Queens New York.....He is a Residential Manager in Manhattan New York where he lives also....He is suffering during this awful, stressfull K1 fiance visa process..he met his wife to be in Feb 2007 when he returned to Colombia for the first time since he was 10 years old....He has returned 4 times to Colombia to be with her and flew her to Panama once also.....He is spending a lot of his savings and is rnning low!!!!! :wacko: .....He pras for his approval along with everyone else's approvals also!!!!!!!!!!!!! He would give anything to have Leidy and Daniel here decorating a Christmas tree together!!!!!!!!!

Forgot one thing......He loves knowing how to play wih the new fonts, colors etc.......... :yes:

And HE likes to refer to himself in the 3rd person, singular :lol:

Ok, so now some of what I read now makes sense. A fiery latin male, living in New Your City (excuse me, Queens)?!?!?!! No wonder you are feeling such stress. I can't imagine what will happen when that Latina (Columbian females are latinas, aren't they?) joins you there. :D It will be some hot times in the old town tonight (or that night).

I've owned apt buildings before, but I can't imagine what being a residential manager up there is like. I'm sure you must get lots of calls from your tenants day in and day out. Fix this, repair that, where is my hot water?, how come the sidewalk isn't shovelled?, when are you going to do something about all these roaches? I'll bet you've got thousands of stories. Any you care to share while we wait? :whistle:

Well $2200 is still WAYYYYYYYYYY to much for me. I have two more trips planned. One in January...and one to go bring him home. I just noticed on that day I searched, that airfare was one of them...that WAS expedia.com LOL And it may have been the days I chose. Who knows..yes..Agencies can save money, I've heard that....but I prefer to fly only Egypt Air for many reasons...(Larger seats for my larger butt to start) :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

LOL Welllllllllllllllllllllllllll, I flew Air France and had HORRIBLE experiences with them...the airport is HORRIBLE. I hate all the transfers.....I fly Jet Blue from Washington DC to JFK...sit for hours..then fly again..sit for hours...fly again...bear in mind guys..Im a single WOMAN jet setting around the world....but more importantly...Egypt air is a DIRECT flight, no changes, no layovers and doesn't leave Cairo at 3:30 AM. But at a more reasonable hour of 10:30 AM. Bigger seats...great flights...friendly service...yeah...guess im a bit Brand happy on that one... :whistle: :whistle:

I believe this price has changed. but if you tweak the dates a little, you'll eventually the find the right fare for you. Remember that its cheaper to fly in the middle of the week. Monday, tuesday, Wednesday, thursday. Its also cheapest to fly on the actual holiday. 12/25 12/26 01/01. Good luck!
