Egypt Trip Through Thomas Cook

Hi all,

I%26#39;ve got a friend heading out to Paphos in a couple of weeks. He has pre-booked the day trip to Egypt through Thomas Cook. Was wondering what flight this would be, is it a scheduled flight from Paphos to Cairo, or is it a special charter.

Also, what are the times of flight out from Paphos and the return from Cairo.

Regards...

Sunmagic.

Hi, thanks for the responses above. I have already seen the recent posts relating to Egypt from Paphos on here (I had done a search), which don%26#39;t really answer the question I asked.

On the Air Cairo website, it has no information relating to flights, in fact the website doesn%26#39;t have much info on there apart from a list of board members.

I have also already looked at the Paphos airport website, which only links to flightstats.com which is live flight stats - doesn%26#39;t provide me with details for forthcoming trip which is on Fri 15th August.

On the Cairo airport website (see links below) that again is only live flight stats, and I haven%26#39;t seen any flights arriving or departing from Paphos.

So, my original question is still open; is this a scheduled flight from Paphos to Cairo and what are the times of this flights%26#39; departure from Paphos and arrival back into Paphos. Has anyone recently been to Paphos with Thomas Cook who could answer.

Regards...

Note: The above program is indicative. Due to several factors (e.g. traffic, weather, local holidays etc) slight changes might occur.

It%26#39;s a pity your friend has already booked when we were in Paphos in June the First Choice rep was offering us this trip for 358 euros, Horizon Travel who had an office across the road from our hotel were offering the same trip for 225 euros!!

We decided that it would be too hurried to cram it all in to one day so didn%26#39;t go. I therefore can%26#39;t advise on that aspect but hope you find the above useful.

Thanks Indysassy,

that looks like it could be the same company offering the tour. He was advised at the time of booking the trip (through Thomas Cook) it was either Tuesday or Friday, he opted for Fri 15th - the day before he is due to fly home to Manchester.

I will send him a copy of the itinerary, that could prove useful to him.

Once again, thank you.
