Alitalia and Egyptair - information needed

Hi all,

I will soon travel from Rome to Cairo and then Cairo to Hurghada (Sep/10). I plan to use some ZED tickets (IDZM).
Can anyone tell me how can I list myself on Alitalia and Egyptair flights?
Do I just need to call their reservation number, identify myself as staff of TAP Portugal and give them the details of the staff ticket? Or is that any other way?

I have never done this with other airline companies so all your help will be appreciated.

Regards,
Moisés Alves

Your pass bureau should have the correct local contact info for Alitalia listing. It probably is the res number. We called Egyptair to list and said we didn't need to. However I called the local number in Cairo regarding seat availability. We flew ID tickets. FYI--make sure the flight you want to Hurghada is a nonstop--they have some that connect thru and you could get bumped. It is typically quite cheap to buy a counter ticket if you can't get on. Check the dates for local holidays and be flexible--local Cairenes travel weekends starting on Friday and when it's hot, it's a very popular destination. We got caught trying to get to Luxor and it was a short holiday--and we bought a cheap one way.We used our ID90 to come back (around $30 each) We flew AF to CDG so that was AF and we listed on their website. Good luck! Have great time. Are you stopping in Cairo?
Tchau!

Hi mrs767er ,

Thank you for the info. I'll probably call Egyptair... just in case.
We'll only stay there 1 or 2 days. Most of our time will be spent in Hurghada.
