Thread: open date tickets?

I am curious about getting open date tickets to Cairo.
Mainly, I'm curious about the departure date being open; if I went someplace and decided to extend the stay or something.

Has anybody done this in the past? Does it cost a lot extra?

oops. I might have said that wrong. I guess I meant the "return" date is the part that concerns me. . .

You might check with the airlines. If you have a discounted round trip, last time I heard (not sure how long ago), changing your return date cost about $150.

Depends how open it is...the first time I went to Japan I bought an open-ended ticket. At the end of a year I just emailed the travel agent with the date I wanted to return on. It was really easy.

The other option is to get an unrestricted ticket, which is totally changeable, generally for a small fee, but sometimes not.

That having been said, this ticket can be significantly higher in price to start with. I'd talk to a travel agent.

Plus the potential of having to pay any difference in fare.
