I booked a flight to Cairo on Lufthansa, which has constantly been cancelling flights and rescheduling me. I do not have the option of flying directly to Hurghada except on a Sunday and my boat leaves on a Saturday.
I assume I need an expensive COVID test to leave the states, even if I am only at the Cairo airport to change planes and fly to Hurghada where I wouldn't need one, since I can't book my last leg through Lufthansa. Anyone know any way around this?
Am I better off waiting until I am in Cairo to buy a ticket to Hurghada? EgyptAir is not known for refunds or flexibility, and in the unlikely event Lufthansa actually gets me to Cairo, it probably won't be on time. But if I wait until I arrive, am I risking being charged more or having flights booked?
The boat operator did give me the option of land transportation, but wants more money than the cost of an airline ticket.
