Google Egypt Air. Go through their website or their office in Lagos, Abuja or Kano.

Or Download 'Cheap flight' application on play store. It allows you to compare flight tickets, then you can book your flight online or through their offices.

Thanks. I will try this

Egypt Air allow One-Way ticket, going by the experience of a friend on Nairaland. You need to ask them at their office before you book your flight. Their fare is relatively cheaper. Enjoy your flight.

How do I book Egypt Air? I need a cheap flight to Istanbul in two weeks time. Please help

We need to first understand the business model of agents like Wakanow or TravelStart. I used the word agents because that's what they actually are...middlemen. they get tickets from airlines and hype the price by $100 or more as profits.

I still believe that the best place to get the best price is directly from the airlines. Wakanow and TravelStart are two sides of d same coin and they always match each other's price.

The catch is, u need to have the flight money ready. Secondly u need to be able to identify when d airline offers u a good deal n grab it.

1. Don't visit the airlines website prior for the purpose of mere checking.
2. Check only when u are ready to pay.
3. Use Wakanow n the rest to have an idea of the price.
4. Visit their website. Some will hit u with a ridiculously low price the first time u search. If u miss it, it's gone.
5. Keep checking the flight for up to 5 days at different times. You will mostly likely be offered a price drop.

No need to clear your cookies. You actually want the airlines to know that u are seriously considering them, that way they want to lower d ticket. That's how I search

I know almost everyone out there will tell u to go incognito while searching. Na, not me. I want them to know I am around.

I once missed a deal like this on Turkish airlines n I could have saved $250. Last time I used Ethiopian air, I saved 45k naira. Wakanow n TravelStart colluded between themselves n lined me up for slaughter, but I don wise.

I am currently searching for a cheap flight to Istanbul. Hope I can do it on . my own with your suggestions
