Cached-fare history: across 7 months, Dec is the cheapest for LA → CAI. Best time to be there: Oct–Apr.
Fares bottom out in December around $639 and peak in April near $1,022 — a $383 spread across the 7 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 16 hours outbound, on a 13-night trip — ticketed under Royal Air Maroc, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $639 for 12,201 km each way, that works out to about $26 per 1,000 km flown. That is well under the $40 that ultra-long-haul fares on this board typically run. Across the 13 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Cairo, this fare ranks 5th — 1.7× the $378 we hold from Chicago. That puts it in the cheaper half of the 50 routes of similar length we watch out of Los Angeles, where the middle fare is $712.

Across 7 months of cached-fare history, Dec 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 LA → 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We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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 7 months of cached fares, Dec comes out lowest on this route. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Los Angeles to Cairo?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Royal Air Maroc. 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.
