Well, I guess cheap is all relative. I'm not looking for a 200$ flight half way across the world. But I was surprised at the going prices to Cairo from my home, 3000$ seems like a lot of money... And the difference between 3000 and 2000$ is huge, I just thought I would see if anyone knew of any cheaper alternatives than the standard Expedia.ca/Travelocity.ca/etc.

Thanks for your help Maleficient, I appreciate it a lot.

I did find what looks like the same flight that is being sold on Opodo on a site called "ebookers.com" for the same price (about 950GBP). And unlike Opodo, this site seems to be able to mail the tickets overseas (although quite pricey, 30GBP).
Plus the flight is entirely non-refundable, which is a bit worrisome.

For now I'll keep looking and I may have to do something similar to what your suggesting Mal... two different bookings.
