You will fly with Egyptair Boeing 737 with a 3-3 configuration on both flights. If you fly on Tuesdays, Thursdays, or Saturdays, you will have a short layover in Cairo. If you fly on other days of the week, you will have a layover of almost 24 hours in Egypt, which you can take advantage of as a city break.

You can find suitable dates using our calendar above or with the help of Google Flights. We recommend booking directly on EgyptAir’s website, but you can find cheaper prices with Skyscanner. However, booking on OTAs has its downsides.
Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?
More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:
Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.
If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.
This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.
Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.
This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.
Mileage
This ticket is issued in booking class T. Here are the miles and points you can earn from this deal:
- 2,118 Award Miles + 354 PQP on United MileagePlus
- 2,118 Miles on Air Canada Aeroplan
- 2,118 Miles on Copa ConnectMiles
- 2,118 Miles on Ethiopian ShebaMiles

- 2,118 Miles on Egyptair Plus
Destination
Information & Tips for Tanzania
The United Republic of Tanzania is a country in East Africa and probably best known by tourists for the semi-autonomous region Zanzibar. But also people that are into game drives will get their money’s worth in Tanzania since it is home to 4 big national parks. And if that’s not enough, you could still climb Mount Kilimanjaro, Africas highest mountain.
Best Time to Visit
There really is no right or wrong time to visit this well-loved location. That said, the best wildlife viewing months in Tanzania are during the Dry season from late June to October. The best chance of seeing the wildebeest migration in the Serengeti is during June and July and the time to see the wildebeest calving is late January to February.
Entry & Visa
All EU passport holders are eligible for a visa on arrival. The cost of a single-entry visa is about €50 for citizens of European countries.

Information & Tips for Dar Es Salaam
Dar es Salaam, the largest city in Tanzania, is a bustling and diverse metropolis situated on the Indian Ocean coast. It serves as the country’s economic and cultural hub and offers a unique blend of coastal beauty, historical sites, and a lively urban atmosphere.
Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Dar es Salaam is during the dry season, from June to October when the weather is relatively dry and pleasant for outdoor activities. However, the city’s tropical climate means that it’s warm and humid year-round, so lightweight clothing and sunscreen are essential.
Getting There
Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR) is the primary gateway to Dar es Salaam. From the airport, you can reach the city centre by taxi, airport shuttle, or ride-sharing services. Public transportation options, including buses and the DART (Dar es Salaam Rapid Transit) system, provide convenient access to various parts of the city.
Sightseeing
Dar es Salaam offers a mix of cultural and natural attractions. The National Museum and House of Culture is a great place to explore Tanzanian history and culture, including art, artifacts, and archaeological exhibits.
