Cons of departure to Egypt at 14.00 - this is actually the loss of the first day of rest. Pros - resettlement upon arrival.
Cons of departure at 3.00 - sleepless night, earlier arrival at the hotel and possible resettlement according to the rules at 14.00. Yes, they can check in earlier if there are free rooms, and most importantly - the desire of the reception managers.
If you plan to rest without children, then definitely take a departure at 3.00.

Yes, but after all, on the last day you can stay at the hotel until the evening check-out with breakfast and dinner, and the room may not be extended.

What good is it to arrive at the place almost at 6 pm and at best be at the hotel around 8 pm?
Even if early check-in is denied, you become, for the most part, a full-fledged guest right away. With the opportunity to visit the pool, beach, bar, have breakfast.
There are especially important ones (such as Savoy or Sierra) that do not include breakfast on the first day, but you can even drink, change clothes and even take a shower in the spa, leave things in the storage room and go to the sea even in 4 Seasons. I'm not talking about simpler hotels.
At 12-30 you are guaranteed to have lunch.
Now few places in Egypt allow themselves to keep guests until 14-00 in the lobby.
At least in the previous few years, arriving at hotels by 9-10 in the morning, we always got a room right away.

Marsyanchik: are you going to specify the flight from Egypt home and consider the time at 3.00 or 14.00? Am I already confused? If back, then, of course, at 14.00. If to Egypt from home, then as I wrote in my first post.

Who told you that on the last day the number can not be renewed?
Check-out takes place at 12-00 and with the good will of the administration, you can continue to use the infrastructure and restaurants. Again, ALMOST all hotels. In some places, for lunch and drinks after 12-00 you will also have to pay.
But the extension of the number costs in different hotels 30-50 USD until 15-00 and 60-80 USD. until 18:00.
Your time in the hotel is not counted by days, but by nights.
For us, it was always ideal to have an early flight there, and return - around 14-30 or 15-30, to be picked up from the hotel around 12.

We and the child chose 4 in the morning, as he will sleep all the way). At the hotel, the bracelet was put on immediately. In addition to lunch, I think everywhere, from 10 in the morning there are snacks.
I would definitely recommend an overnight flight. Put light items and swimming trunks on top. Leave your things, change clothes and enjoy the rest. even if they check in at 14. But, now the hotels are half empty, they check in earlier.
If you write which hotel specifically - maybe someone will share their experience.

I always choose the morning when possible. So the whole day is not lost from the tour. You arrive and, in fact, immediately after filling out the paperwork, you can already use the entire infrastructure, even if you have to wait for the room (and now you don’t have to wait too much). When you leave for lunch, you get to the hotel in the evening. A whole paid day is wasted. And if the return flight is moved early, then it turns out to be a crumpled vacation. especially if the tour is for 7 nights.

If the question is about flying back, then better later. when checking out, even without an extension, in many hotels you simply rent a room, leave your suitcases in the reception room and still use the services as much as you need. Only the room is not available for you

Of course, you decide (half a day is lost), it’s hard to fly with children at night and only a taxi, but I like it.
But with the current economy in Egypt: those who arrive late (without lunch) have lunch on the day of departure, and those who arrive early do not. Believe me, if you fly out late without lunch, it's "stressful".

Marsyanchik, better in the morning! Some advantages - you will arrive earlier, the day is not lost. Yes, and check in earlier! The lack of free rooms is not about the current Egypt. And they usually pick up 4 hours before departure. Or even more if you are not near the airport.

Personally, I hate to fly at night, before any vacation it is better to get a good night's sleep. From my own experience I know that after an early morning flight on the first day of my vacation I will be just “boiled”, the whole day just falls out of life, and this one minus outweighs any pluses of an early arrival in another country.
Rest should be a pleasure, not a discomfort.

all the years we flew to rest on night flights - there were no other options ... this year we still took a day flight - but the kids are with us! it's hard for them to fly out at three in the morning...plus all those trips from home to the airport at midnight and all that. If without children, feel free to take a night flight and not worry.
and about what to do if the return flight is late, I contacted my hotel and they confirmed to me, check-out from the room at 12.00 .. extension is possible if there are free rooms for settling other clients, about having dinner and the lobby, they said we can use all services until the moment of departure from the hotel (we will have it around 17-00). so hotels go for it

About night flights with children. There were two children in our company. We took off from Boryspil at 2.45. Both children flew by plane for the first time and experienced this stress quite normally.
Regarding the use of infrastructure immediately upon arrival at the hotel.
Amwaj Blue Beach Resort - put on bracelets immediately, check-in had to wait
Aurora Cyrene - had to wait for both bracelets and settlement
By the way, in all my visits to Egypt, Aurora Cyrene was the first hotel in which the bracelet was cut off. I wanted to drink coffee in the lobby - and that's it, without a bracelet it's already paid! And no one cares that you've lived here for a week and drank coffee for free. There is no bracelet - come on, goodbye!

I agree with ollennka.
After night flights, I am none.)) The first day passes in half-asleep. And if the flight is not from your hometown, it’s generally very difficult. And a late return flight is also bad. Another sleepless night. The last time we did that. The whole holiday is in vain. It may be beneficial, but for me it was stressful. Do not want anymore. )))

We have just returned from Egypt. Our road has been long. We thought about flying out of Kharkov, but there were flights only at 13.00 or 15.00, we started watching departures from Kyiv, there was time for 2.55. All the same, we chose Kyiv, since it was more important for me not to waste a day, we flew with a 3-year-old child. While we were driving to Kyiv, we slept a little, on the way to the airport the child was sleeping, and everyone quickly fell asleep on the plane) we were at the hotel at 9 o’clock, we were immediately put on bracelets and sent for a walk around the territory, before the trip, I wrote to the hotel administration by mail, asked earlier check-in) so while we walked a little by the sea, had breakfast and settled us at 10-11) and it was also more convenient to fly back through Kyiv, we left the hotel at about 17.00, the room was handed over at 12, if you would like to extend it, then in 2 hours +25$, 4 hours+40$. In my opinion it is very expensive. But we took things to the storage room and went to the sea, then to the pools and for lunch. Before leaving, at the reception we were given a key to another room and allowed to use it for half an hour.

My opinion is 1,000,000 times better than an early flight, because you count the nights, not the days that you can spend in the sun)
It was given to us very easily and simply, and the child did not act up a bit, even though it was the first flight. Now all the hotels in Egypt are meeting tourists.

arrival in Sharm should be in the morning, and departure at night. In this case, you get the opportunity to spend more time at sea. Early check-in can be agreed upon when booking a hotel at a travel agency or on your own. Departure at 3 nights to Sharm is a great luck, here from Kharkov there is always a moronic flight at 16

So if it's about an extra day of rest, maybe just take one more day of the tour? After all, moving Kharkiv - Kyiv in both directions is also a whole day of light plus a certain amount of money ...

These are all evening rides. We left Kharkov at 19.00. And when they flew back, then from the plane immediately to the night train, we slept. Zero discomfort. And for the price, flying from Kyiv is cheaper than from Kharkov, even taking into account all the costs of the road in both directions. But we flew like this, only because of the longer time in hotels.

yes, you can take one more day but also pay more per day at the hotel. Moving at night or in the evening to Kyiv, if it is Kyiv on a bus or train that gives you the opportunity to relax (sleep) during the trip, you won’t go on foot. In general, who has some health and attitude to sleep, one sleepless night does not bother me

I flew out with a child at 4 in the morning, at 7.30, at 18, at 14.30. Of course, 4 am is not the best option, but he slept with me on the plane, and upon arrival at the hotel they immediately gave a room and we slept with him for another 2 hours. but already by lunchtime they calmly relaxed and sunbathed. But the flight at 18 is the most unfortunate - at the hotel at midnight, the day of rest is paid, but you miss them. . Yes, and 14.30 is not far gone, the day is leaving. and this despite the fact that they flew not for 7 nights, but for 14. is it all the same, does it make sense to pay and skip? a couple flew with us for 7 nights. and the flight back was supposed to be in the evening. and rescheduled for the morning. as a result, they only had 5 days on vacation: 1 day arrived only at midnight, the last night also flew out, because they were already taken to the airport (well, the day could still be spent at sea, but it didn’t work out

We fly from Cherkasy. In recent years, we choose ONLY an early departure from Kyiv, and we select the return one later from Yeh. Sometimes you have to take not 7-8 nights, but 9-10 - to capture all the paid time. It turns out, based on 1 day cheaper, and you want to stay at sea longer. These trips are normal for adults, they didn’t fly with children .. In one hotel they knew that they wouldn’t feed until 12 noon (and we stopped at 8-9 in the morning). SIMPLY got supplies from the house (cutlets there, etc.) and had a wonderful bite near the pool in the bathing accessories - and did not stand in the "sic" position in front of the reception. As a result, they settled not from 14-oo, but earlier, but they approached us and invited us to the settlement .... We look after food on the way back in advance (if you fly without dinner) just a couple of chops (or something similar) in a box + bun + fruit .. WEIGHT WEIGHT IS NOT OBSERVED even once ...

Definitely an early flight. And from there, of course, the maximum possible late. This time we were transferred from Egypt from 19-00 to 2 nights and everyone was happy, despite the sleepless night.

about food (on the last day), stock up on boxes so that the food is not lost. I take dry ice in special boxes. the return flight was delayed for 6 hours. I have a husband (always hungry) + 2 children. So I got so much food from the hotel on the road that we ate at home for two days (pizza, kebab.) flew back on December 30 at night. and we didn’t have to think about what to feed everyone in the morning, while we still treated our friends at the hotel at the airport)) BOXES help out a lot, and in that direction, we arrived at 7 in the morning, they fed us only at lunchtime, we went to the sea and ate our supplies. coffee was asked to take the framed)))

The author, if you are flying from your city, even with children, an early departure is better, if not, only during the day. Departure from rest is also better during the day IMHO.

You can arrange with a travel agency so that the departure is early and back late, there may be an additional charge of +20 dollars, but you get a good rest. In the morning we arrived, changed clothes and went straight to the beach, took everything valuable with us, and left the rest at the reception. Also, if you fly away later at 12, you rent a room at the reception with valuable things with you and calmly relax on the beach until departure. Big stupidity to pay 15-50 bucks for a renewal

Early departure is a priority. We, like baldina.mari, were traveling from Kharkov through Kyiv, a child of 5 years old. The train was at 7 pm, we slept, at 4 am we boarded a bus to Boryspil, we also took a nap there. At 6 check in. We arrived back to Borispol at 6 pm, at 9 pm by train, in the morning in Kharkov. At that time, the difference in money was noticeable between flights from Kharkov and Kyiv, 200 dollars for sure, + if from Kharkov, then 2 days are lost. Who advises to take more days, then the choice is either 7 or 14 nights. The only thing that bothered me was the theoretical possibility of rescheduling the flight
