Without knowing the city where the flights come from, one can only assume that the flights were redirected to Sharm el-Sheikh due to the rise in the cost of visas, tour operators are afraid of falling demand for Hurghada.

Ollennka, if visas rise in price, then only from 1.07.17. And that's the question. Author, I think that March is preferable to Sharm: it is less windy and the sea is warmer because of the corals. From Kyiv (Borispol airport) flights fly to both Sharm and Hurghada.

Maybe your tours have already been sold out, fearing that with a visa of 60 USD. they won’t get to Hurghada soon, or they’ll go to celebrate everything on March 8 ... We have flights from Kyiv, but not enough from 6.03, if anything, I can pick up something ;-)

And it seems that from March 1 they published an increase in the cost of a visa. But if since July, then some other factors need to be looked for)

Today, for example, according to the plan from Borispol airport, Kyiv: 7 flights to Sharm, 3 to Hurghada.

Nusia. They didn't sell out, that's for sure. :) Windy season is coming to an end in Egypt. Prices are rising every year. This is true for both April and May. My personal belief is that Sharm in March is preferable to Hurghada. There are always more flights to Sharm than Hurghada at this time.

Sorry, I didn't write from Kyiv. I watched the Sunrise Royal Makadi hotel. I want it in April, but I'm monitoring now. I’ll just buy 2 days before departure, so I’m worried.

This is not only the situation with Sunrise, there are no other hotels in Hurghada.

Marsyanchik, do not take risks 2 days before departure. Or fundamentally do not stop at one hotel.

I’m in Moscow and I can’t buy a tour in advance. :( paying with the help of friends is also not an option. Therefore, I need everything to work. Last year I bought it a day before departure in June, everything went wonderfully.

Marsyanchik, wait more from Kyiv to buy. Maybe soon charters to Egypt from the Russian Federation will be opened. And normally take off from Moscow. Everything goes to this.

serna7081, yes, I also prefer Sharm at this time, so in early February I had the choice to fly with a company to Hurghada or together with a child to Sharm - and I still chose Sharm, and did not regret it - they went in jackets in the evening, and we in blouses). Somehow in April we were in Desert Rose - it was blowing away on the beach ...

Marsyanchik last year it was somehow easier with departures, we also bought a tour 3 days before departure, and this year for a week in February there were only a day flight there and a morning flight back, I monitored for three weeks - I waited for the weather to be warmer ;-) Therefore, do not risk it, but take a tour at least a week in advance.

First, demand determines supply. So now there is little demand for Hurghada, so there is no need to drive half-empty flights. Secondly, from March 21-27, the flight program for Egypt always changes under the summer booking regime. Therefore, 11-18 is such a transitional period. ps from Lviv until March 23 there is a "winter regime" of charters to Hurghada - 3 times a week. And after 23 there will be changes

Here I look at flights from Kiev - there are places for departure - the Wind Rose has free places for 8, and 13, 15, and 20 and 22. MAU has 10, 16, and 18. Anex has almost no available for upcoming dates

The author demonstrates the unclouded radiance of pure reason.
Indeed, it is logical. If there are seats for flights only on the 11th and 18th, this means that they simply do not fly to Hurghada on other days. None. Nowhere.
And about visas for 60 dollars. It's been a week since everyone knows that nothing is getting more expensive. At least until June. Yes, and about June, except for Russian-language travel forums, no official Egyptian persons have yet been distributed.
Yes.

What "yes"? The author has already explained several posts ago that she is looking at flights for a specific hotel.

Thanks to all! I'm really interested in Makadi hotels for them and I'm looking at departures (probably the search only returns certain operators). As if everything is clear to me, the topic has been exhausted :)
