Cheap flights from Manchester to Cairo from £159

The departure and arrival airports when flying to Cairo from Manchester are Manchester Airport (MAN) and Cairo International Airport (CAI). To get to Manchester Airport from the city centre is a journey of about 13 miles – just get straight onto the M6 motorway. It’s about a 20min car or taxi trip. For public transport, your best bet is to get to Manchester New Street station and take a train directly to Manchester Airport rail station. As one of the main airports serving the north of England, it’s a busy airport. In Cairo, you can hire a car or take a taxi for the roughly 20min drive to the city centre. If you’re self-driving, take the Airport Road and then the El-Orouba motorway. If you prefer to use public transport, catch the No. 356 bus from the airport, taking you directly to Cairo city centre. Cairo International, too, is a busy airport; located in Egypt’s principal tourist city, it serves as the international gateway to the rest of the country.

A third option for a flight that takes pretty much the same time as these, fly with Turkish Airlines, which makes a single stopover at Istanbul Airport (IST).
