Have you ever taken tours with Joyne? I can say that it's like a roulette - lucky or not.
My opinion is one of the worst operators in Ukraine. By the way, in that thread about Turkey, I described my impressions on trips to Egypt. And it doesn’t matter this year or last, or several years ago.
Last year - Hurghada, LillyLend hotel. Departure from Zaporozhye - about 12-00, we arrived at the airport in 2 hours, UIA airline, a flight combined with Dnepropetrovsk. There are a lot of tourists, we arrived from the Dnieper, we are waiting, the flight is delayed first by two hours, then it is still unknown how much. Something It is impossible to find out, but around 19-00 they flew out, during which time at least someone from their Joint company explained something. There is no one! True, I fed UIA coffee and sandwiches. In Hurghada, at 22 with a penny, while we went through airport procedures, we got on buses, took us to hotels, at 23-00 we were there, there was no rest day. Then it turned out that Joyna's charter flies so - very early takes off from Kyiv, flies to Hurghada, unloads,

loads tourists in Zaporozhye, brings them, loads them to Hurghada, from there to Kiev. Here is such a chain to make it cheaper. Somewhere there is a failure and everything collapses, people are nervous, waiting for the plane, and there is only silence from Join, and not a sound.
As we flew back, this whole poem is described in my story about last year's vacation in LillyLend. It is in Turpravda.
In addition, replacing hotels, transfers, offering excursions at inflated prices is Joyne's style. And their cheap tours are offset by unnecessary hassle.
I understand that most likely there are no other tours from Zaporozhye, except for them. This year I refused the services of Joyne, I flew with Anex from Kharkov to Egypt. And he was satisfied.
If you have any questions, please contact me, I will answer!

It seems that people are satisfied with constantly stepping on the same rake. If in the next branch they already scolded this TO, then who in this one will praise? Unless the joins themselves.)))
If you want extreme, you can take a risk. Suddenly lucky.

oigorrrrr, yes, they fly differently ... if they fly
I will say one thing, redsishniks are specialized hotels of the join ... moreover, on an exclusive basis. I also sharpen my teeth at the spa. You can be calm about the hotel, but otherwise ... take it directly, not much in advance, read the contract, stipulate "accidents at the construction site" and keep your finger on the pulse. Good luck...you'll need it

Always spit on join. In December, we ventured to Sharm with them. Surprisingly, everything went great. This year is again full of negative reviews. Probably, I will risk only in case of a very cheap tour, like in December.

I repeat, with them - a lottery! "Lucky - no luck."
Question - what time did you have a flight from Kyiv and from Sharm? I wonder how much time they steal from the periphery due to their flight pattern. When I was considering flights by Joyne from Kyiv to Sharm this winter, the first flight was something from 6 in the morning. Maybe they didn’t have one from Kyiv?

Mass reviews will be in October-November :). When does the active season for Egypt start. In July-August, there were problems with Join to Egypt. All the same as with Turkey. Just in the summer for Egypt is not yet a massive season. There are not many reviews.
ps Now hotels in Egypt are being actively promoted from Joins in TA in the same way that they promoted Turkey from them in the summer. They actively offer info tours for travel agents. The only thing: in the 2016 season, Join made a bet on Turkey, so their direction to Egypt is much more modest. What is even more dangerous :). Well, their main carriers to Egypt are the same.
If you want to take risks, please. but it's all exclusively "lucky-not-lucky." Therefore, then there is nothing to blame on the mirror

Alex45, the departure was convenient, I always track it. We arrived at the hotel just in time for breakfast. And they had breakfast :), they didn’t bother us in the lobby :) and flew back at lunchtime, after having lunch :) it’s also nice, the hotel is a plus - the Grand Hotel.
Again, I did not expect this from joins. There was no transfer. It was unexpectedly pleasant, everything passed in one breath :) I'm afraid there will be no more such happiness :)

Yes, just as I expected!
To get to the hotel for breakfast, departure from Kyiv at 5-6 o'clock, check-in in two hours. I called a taxi to the house and everything is fine! The day of rest is not lost.
We arrive in Egypt at best in the evening, or even at night. The day is as if it had not happened. Departure from Egypt in the morning, rise and return of the room early in the morning, usually 4-5 hours, another day flew out. There are no two days in total.
Here is such a situation when departing from the periphery. In order to fly us from Kyiv, additional money for the train and an overnight stay at the airport on benches. And if there is also a hassle with a "good" tour operator, then ... you understand. But TS is from my own city, so he is interested in our conditions with Joyne, considering our TAs. And the hotel in Makadi is not bad, my son and granddaughter rested there. There is a reef, but the tides expose it, which is not very convenient.

Yes, it’s a pity to lose two days: ((There are also flights from Kyiv that you will get to the room by seven in the evening. I flew like that once, the hotel was only at TO with such a flight.

We flew in June 2016 with Join Up although their correct name is Zhloben Up!!! Departure from Egypt was postponed earlier for 18 hours!!! we were robbed of a day and night of rest. I had a photo session scheduled for the morning, and an excursion for the evening! In short, I will not fly with them anymore - this is a fact! By the way, their guides are rednecks and bred!!! Never!, even for the most ridiculous money I will not fly with these rednecks!

But I already paid for the ticket and received confirmation of the transfer of money to the hotel. You still have to take the risk.

Well, good luck to you, the hotel is not bad, let's hope that John does not spoil your holiday.
My advice to you. Upon arrival, everyone will rush to the guides of the host country for immigration cards and will breed tourists for money for filling them out, and you calmly go to the bank windows, redeem and paste visas on you. After that, go to the guides (the crowd will subside) and calmly ask for cards, they are filled in block letters according to the cells from passports. Everything is very simple, it's not worth the money. There is no need to rush after them, the bus will not leave without you.

Thanks for the info. But we are flying to Egypt for the seventh time and we have known these subtleties for a long time.
We usually do that.
Maybe someone else will need your information.

Once again, good luck, and, fellow countryman, you may or may not know. Not far from Makadi in the direction of Soma Bay along the coast there is a coral reserve Sharm - el - Naga, a beautiful reef, starts from knee-deep depth, different fish, not frightened by crowds of tourists. If I have a rest in Hurghada, and I take hotels where there are reefs, I still take an excursion to this reserve (a day trip with lunch). Recommend.

And further. A little earlier, the photo shows buoys limiting the reefs, the second photo is the shore of the reserve. Look for excursions from good local companies oriented to Western tourists. My wife and I were from Ukraine alone, the rest from Western Europe. But there should be such firms in Makadi.

We flew on 22,09,16 from Kyiv. The flight was chosen 1.5 months earlier - departure at 01.30 am from Kyiv, back (11 nights) at 18.30. They specially took such a time that even if they were late there was a reserve of "free" hours. In fact = there = normal, they added 1 hour back, plus special loading of their luggage with their own hands, as a result, the flight was delayed by another 40 minutes. They repeatedly apologized for the inconvenience on the speakerphone. Tea, coffee - as much as you like, the rest - your own from home or hotel. The hotel was selected according to maintenance, but for us the choice was not difficult - there is a limit on the amount, and we do not deny ourselves anything (or we persuade ourselves that we didn’t really want to ...) There was no fear of maintenance ...

And from Lviv the situation is VERY sad - departure at 17:00. at the hotel at 21 o'clock, back - from the hotel at 23-24 o'clock - departure from Hurghada somewhere at 3-4 o'clock in the morning. And this is for money for 11 nights ... It was very insulting for them - not to finish the walk, not to finish drinking, not to swim ....

That's what I'm talking about! Flights are convenient for the people of Kiev, and the periphery is losing time with their flights. Dilemma - either pay extra when getting to Kyiv, or don't finish your walk, overpaying travel agencies for unused days.

John Up is the worst tour operator ever. We bought a New Year's tour to Thailand, arrived almost three days later!!! They lived like homeless people at the Dubai airport. The luggage arrived on the fourth day, I even had to pay for the delivery of the luggage. Now they are completely frozen, and do not get in touch. The guide was seen once, barely got a call. We were looking for luggage. There was no help or assistance. They refused to reimburse us. I recommend bypassing Join Up on the tenth road!

Very "convenient flight program for the TPG operator." for residents of the regions, I checked, I don’t see any amenities. Yes, a free transfer from Zaporozhye through the Dnieper to Krivoy Rog, 5 hours on terrible Ukrainian roads, we almost missed the flight. We waited an hour for late tourists in the Dnieper (for those, it is convenient, for us it is not; indignant, they forced the TPG to send a bus to Krivoy Rog). Departure at 14-00. Return from Sharm early in the morning. Again 5 hours from Krivoy Rog. We arrived in Zaporozhye at 19-00. Very "convenient" The same loss of 2 days.

Of course, it’s convenient for the residents of Krivoy Rog, the airport is nearby. I won’t repeat the experiment. Zaporozhye or the Dnieper, where it’s half an hour away from me, but no one guarantees departures on time. So the lottery remains!

Emotions and words are simply not enough ... 12.05.2018 at 02:35 YE5019, moved to 12.05.2018 at 18:26 .... not thinking that most of the customers who do not live in Kiev, but are from other cities. .... already on the way .... If you are planning a trip, bypass the tour operator Join Up on the tenth road. All they can promise and give to the client is the transfer of flights three times a day and spoiled vacation, taken away two days of your vacation on the road, which you will spend on suitcases at airports. Will there be a flight tomorrow at 18:26 .... we don't even know ... what to expect from these pigs
