Brisbane to Cairo

[MAX_1]

In October, I am looking at Brisbane to Cairo to join a Tour Of Egyptfor 12 days.Then Cairo to Dubai for a conference of 7 days.Then Dubai to Brisbane.
Two bussiness class seats are to be booked.
Can anyone suggest which other airlines apart from Emirates (about $8500 per fare) could be used?
Thanks.

Have you looked at the middle eastern airline which is a member of oneworld? Royal Jordanian - perhaps a OW around the world fare would get you there?

It could easily be done with only OW airlines - could use a combination of QF, BA, RJ and CX.

BNE-SIN/HKG-LHR-CAI-AMM-DXB-HKG-BNE

Etihad (if you dare)?

I've done this flight on Qantas (BNE-SYD-BOM) and the Royal Jordanian (BOM-Amman-CAI). However there is an about a 7 hour stopover in BOM which is never nice.

As you are including a DXB sector, this will mean you will probably have to purchase the CAI (or AMM)-DXB sector as a separate ticket and backtrack thru CAI (or AMM) to catch your flight back to BOM.

Alternatively MAS (using an Egypt air codeshare) and SIN both fly to CAI. Unfortunately neither fly via DXB (MAS did fly via DXB when it was on MAS metal - too bad)

Anyhooooo, if it was me, I would fly Emirates (or Etihad) all the way.

If you want to keep it *Alliance then I'd fly:
SQ to DXB and then Egyptair to CAI.
OR
TG to DXB (or BKK) and the Egypt Air to connect from DXB, You can also fly TG all the way to CAI from BKK on a Egyptair Codeshare.
OR
SA PER/SYD-JNB-CAI (surprisingly good connection) and then Egyptair-DXB. Has a long backtrack home though.

If you want to fly One World then CX (or JAL) to DXB and then RJ to CAI.
RJ also fly brom HKG and BKK too AnM amd CAI.

KISS: Emirates.
