Flight Deals from Orlando to Cairo from $664

Flights from Orlando to Cairo are about 6,436 miles. There is no scheduled nonstop service on this route, so the trip requires a connection.

Methodology

Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.

There are no nonstop flights from Orlando to Cairo. The shortest connecting routing is on British Airways via London Gatwick, totaling 17 hours with a 505-minute first leg, a 310-minute second leg, and a 205-minute layover. EgyptAir also connects through New York JFK, with a 157-minute JetBlue leg to New York, a 630-minute Cairo leg, and a 246-minute layover, totaling 17 hours 13 minutes.

Methodology

Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

Cairo International Airport offers several ground transportation options: metered white taxis and fixed-price limousine services outside arrivals, ride-share services like Uber and Careem, air-conditioned public buses (routes 111, 356, 362, and 799) to downtown, and car rentals from major providers. The airport shuttle bus connects to Heliopolis, Nasr City, Downtown, Giza, and other districts every 30 minutes, while the Cairo Metro's Line 3 has a planned but unbuilt extension to the airport, so you must first take a bus or taxi to a station. Ride-sharing is the most used and most reliable option for tourists, offering transparent pricing and avoiding meter disputes; taxis take about 30 minutes to the city center and cost around 80–150 EGP, while the public bus is the cheapest at roughly 0.50 EUR. The fastest and most convenient door-to-door choice is a pre-booked limousine or Uber, which handles luggage and language barriers seamlessly.

There are no nonstop red-eye flights from Orlando to Cairo, but a connecting overnight option exists: British Airways operates an overnight leg from Orlando (MCO) to London Gatwick (LGW) departing at 17:25 and arriving at 06:50, then connecting onward to Cairo on British Airways with about a 3h25m layover. The overnight leg lands at 06:50 the next morning, making this a genuine red-eye connection via London Gatwick.

Methodology

Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times and block times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes. A flight counts as a red-eye when it departs in the afternoon or evening (3 p.m. or later local time) or in the early hours before 4 a.m., and is in the air at some point between midnight and 4 a.m. local time at both its departure airport and its arrival airport. An evening flight that lands before midnight at its destination is never counted, nor is a morning departure or a daytime long-haul that reaches the next calendar date only because of time zones. Each red-eye is labelled with its timing (for example, overnight and landing the next morning, or late-night and landing after midnight). For connecting itineraries the same rule is applied to the longer leg, from one representative day's flight search.

There is no nonstop service between Orlando and Cairo, so travelers connect through a hub. British Airways offers the quickest one-stop routing via London Gatwick, while EgyptAir offers a connection via New York JFK in partnership with JetBlue. British Airways is a oneworld member and EgyptAir is in Star Alliance. These are the main connecting routings currently scheduled.

Cairo International Airport is the only major airport serving Cairo. It is about 22 km northeast of downtown, with direct access to central Cairo by taxi, ride-hailing, or bus. Most international flights to Cairo arrive here, including connections to the Pyramids and Egyptian Museum.

Orlando International Airport (MCO) sits about 10 miles southeast of downtown Orlando, and the fastest way there is a taxi or ride-share, typically 18–22 minutes. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft are the most popular choice, while LYNX public buses (routes 11, 42, 111, and 436S) are the cheapest at roughly $2 per ride. Shuttle vans and hotel shuttles offer a middle ground, and driving with on-site parking garages is straightforward for those who prefer their own vehicle.

There are no nonstop flights from Orlando to Cairo. British Airways connects via London Gatwick using a Boeing 777 family aircraft on the long leg, with an Airbus A320neo on the shorter segment. EgyptAir connects via New York JFK with an Airbus A350-900, paired with an Airbus A321neo operated by JetBlue.

Methodology

Aircraft types come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). For U.S. routes the type is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight; elsewhere it comes from the airline's filed equipment code. Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated. Types describe typical scheduled equipment and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute swaps.

There is no nonstop service from Orlando to Cairo, so the route is flown via connections. British Airways (oneworld) carries the quickest one-stop itinerary through London Gatwick, and EgyptAir (Star Alliance) connects through New York JFK on a routing operated with JetBlue, which belongs to no alliance.
