Cached-fare history: across 5 months, Oct is the cheapest for CPH → CAI. Best time to be there: Oct–Apr.
Fares bottom out in October around $270 and peak in December near $328 — a $58 spread across the 5 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 6 hours outbound, on a 28-night trip — ticketed under Malta Air, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $270 for 3,208 km each way, that works out to about $42 per 1,000 km flown. That is about the $39 typical of medium-haul fares here. Across the 17 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Cairo, this fare ranks 11th — 2.6× the $104 we hold from Milan. For context, the middle fare among the 7 routes of similar length we watch out of Copenhagen is $142.

CPH → CAI, answered.
Is $270 a good price for Copenhagen to Cairo?
Only slightly. The seasonal median is around $300 round-trip and this fare is 10% under it, about $30. We do not call a drop notable until 20%, so this is an ordinary price for the route rather than a reason to hurry.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Copenhagen to Cairo?
Across 5 months of cached-fare history, Oct comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Cairo are Oct–Apr — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book CPH → Cairo?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 5 months of cached fares, Oct comes out lowest on this route. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Copenhagen to Cairo?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Malta Air. Nonstop options exist on many dates at higher prices — check the live search for your exact dates.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on September 1). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
