But aren't they (737/320) not all to big to replace an AVRO? E170/190 or canadairs are big enough for SN ...

Cairo flight,pyramids?

Hello,

As I saw, I booked a JAF flight to Sharm El Sheikh this summer with a stop in Cairo,
is there any chance you can see the pyramids during landing or take-off and then
my question off-couse;
If yes! which is the best seat for a view/pic of them?

Any suggestions anybody I ?

Thx

Ciao CX-B
