Egypt Air--prices
I am having a hard time and getting error message with Egypt air, but I priced the trip on Expedia, so I know it's there.
Here's what I'm looking at on Expedia...
Depart Cairo on 4/27 at 5:25am
Arrive Abu Simbel around 7:45
Depart Abu Simbel on 4/28 around 10:45
Arrive Aswan
Depart Luxor on 5/4 around 11:45
Arrive Cairo
Expedia gives me a price of $400 USD per person. Is that about right?
What do I need to do to complete this with Egypt Air?

The price just for air tickets sounds right, but I know if working thru a tour operator, they can often get the total package - air from CAI, visiting at Abu Simbel, air back to ASW and then air LUX/CAI - (including transfers to/fr airports) for less.
Check around.

I keyed in your itinerary both to Expedia and to Egypt Air, and I came up with the same flights/prices you did. (By the way, those prices sound right.) However, when I took the next step toward booking online, neither Expedia nor Egypt Air could proceed. I got error messages, too. In my experience, the problem is that you (probably) are trying to book these flights online from the U.S.A. My understanding is that individuals in the U.S.A. cannot book certain foreign flights online unless at least one of the trip segments includes a U.S. airport. Why not just do things the old-fashioned way? Call Egypt Air on the telephone or go through a travel agent. Also, since it looks like you have a nice amount of time in your schedule, you might consider taking the train between Cairo and Luxor. Be sure to book the sleeping compartment. I've done that several times, and it really adds another layer of experience to your time in Egypt.
