EgyptAir is currently offering exceptionally low Business Class fares from Budapest to Johannesburg via Cairo. This is one of the cheapest Business Class fares currently available between Europe and South Africa.
The main compromise is the onboard product: the long-haul flight between Cairo and Johannesburg is operated by an Airbus A330 featuring, angled-flat rather than fully lie-flat seats. If your priority is price over the latest Business Class seat, this remains an excellent value.

Any chance of a long stopover in Cairo for same price or similar ?
Egyptair’s angled biz seats will be better than BA etc…. European business class they use to Cairo & Jordan.

No, the first leg should be in Business class as well, however in an A320neo with recliner seats only
