Hmm, Ethiad to Duesseldorf 79.000 compared to Qatar FRA close to 100.000 is worth it. Thanks!

But be carefull. Etihad has taken over Air Berlin. You might end up in an AB aircraft for the AbuDhabi/Duesseldorf leg.

Gosh, am I grateful for that warning! I think the crew would have had to forcefully restrain and handcuff me, if I had ended up on an
AirBerlin flight. Was about to book. Thanks a million and more!

Actually Egypt Air comes in at around 1.800 € ( approx. 72.000 Baht) on the german booking engine that I now often use.

flug.idealo.de

Worth a try if you know german or have a german speaking friend, neighbor or acquaintance.
This engine gives you the prices of several booking sites, highlighting the cheapest.

Good luck !!!

A friend of mine has flown with them in economy and he said that the legs BKK/CAI/BKK were OK.. New terminal in Cairo OK.
Onward from CAI older planes.
He said good value, but I have to tell you he's a bit of a cheapskate, and my guess is few passengers on board so he could stretch out.

Anyway good-luck.

I would not fly Egypt air anymore as You do not get what you pay for
Put a few bucks on top of that fare and go for the irreproachable Turkish Airways
