We want to try to fly on our own - a question about departures
Hello! We decided on an independent trip, and, accordingly, we ourselves will have to buy a ticket for a charter. Tell me, how about the flight: you have to constantly monitor - is there a transfer? Is the "game" worth the nerves? The problem is not in the final amount - I just want to take two different hotels in one trip ...
Thank you all in advance

package tours to Turkey and Egypt will always be cheaper than booking a charter and a hotel on your own.
Why not take 2 different hotels under one charter through TA?

AllOverTheWorld, tried - they say there is no such service. except with the payment of charters "back and forth" and an independent move to a second hotel

all over the world,
about "more expensive": I punched Sultan Garden (ultra-everything) on Booking, with a charter from Kyiv and back - it turned out not more expensive. even a little cheaper

From any TO you can buy a tour to two or more hotels at least 7 hotels for 7 nights, but the price will be calculated according to daily prices and as a result such a tour will be higher in price than buying a standard tour.
Services of an individual transfer moving from one hotel to another can also be provided by any MOT, cheaper if it is Sharm - taxi
In Turkey, on self-booking, there are options when it is cheaper, but a package tour is cheaper during the season. It is cheaper to buy a package tour to Egypt

change TA
in general, somehow it was not only a change of hotels, but also the number of vacationers changed
To be honest, I'm sorry, I can't believe it's cheaper.
Because on booking prices in Egi without tax, add another + 15% (just checked) and without uall, for the month of May the cheapest room for breakfast!!! for a week $ 460 and a ticket for a charter for this time for one 245 € what is the benefit, it’s not clear ......

any self-respecting hotel will provide you with a transfer, and even a penny taxi ...
From experience, your TA did not want to bother (call TO, look for the best options)

Instead of tickets, try looking for a tour to the cheapest hotel in the region of the hotel you have chosen for these dates. Usually it turns out cheaper than tickets. People buy a tour, use only tickets and insurance from it. Transfer too. On the spot they warn that they will not live in the hotel, but back with a group. I observed this. They say they really save on tickets like that.

A couple of times we went on our own, booked tickets and a hotel separately, there were no transfers of the flight. Before departure, we directly went to the site and clarified just in case, for our own peace of mind. And at a cost, it’s already lucky, there are promotional offers, well, very profitable ones. Again, you yourself choose in time what is more convenient for you ... It all depends on whether you are ready to bother additionally, because it is much easier to order in a travel agency.

all over the world,
we are beginners in independence., all the time we only ride in packages. and then we read the neighboring branch and became thoughtful ... we are studying the issue theoretically.
and most of all, the current constant transfers are frightening.

No one will insure you against flight transfers. The only thing is that the tour operator is obliged to warn you and the responsibility is kind of like on it. But if you buy on your own ..., they didn’t just encounter transfers, but it seems like when they bought they called us back, they clarified it. Perhaps they will also warn you during the transfer. This is a question for those who have had this situation ...

so how do transfers depend on the fact that you book a charter on your own?;) package flights and independent ones still fly on the same flight;) or do you want with a regular change through Cairo?) then it’s right foot left ear;)
The charter departure time can be monitored on the air carrier's website and on the airport's online scoreboard.
I am for independent tourism with 2 hands, but I don’t understand what’s the point of bothering with a package bag to Yegi and Turkey (flying hotel) ...

YaSlavnaYa if you want to travel for the first time on your own, start with Turkey, Greece, Spain, Bulgaria, Italy, then Egypt. It is better to get the first experience of independent travel not in Egypt.
Now all airlines that operate on charters have flight delays. And even for you, an example of not a charter, my regular flight was delayed by Lufthansa for 40 minutes and not due to weather conditions

AllOverTheWorld (and how do transfers depend on the fact that you book a charter yourself?;)
at the hotel, according to the package, I know that the "nannies" will be found, built in pairs, put on a bus and dropped off in Sharm El Sheikh 3-4-5 hours before departure. and before that, I can easily sculpt Easter cakes or sour in a bar.
and if you do it yourself, you need to keep your finger on the pulse so that you really don’t have to fly through Cairo. that is, the day of departure will be, let's say, a little nervous. that's exactly what's annoying )))))
(what's the fun in independently bothering with a packet bag to Yegi and Turkey) - a joke in independence. how will I decide to go to Tai or Bali, if I haven’t tried it in my almost native SHES (13th trip)))) before that?

when we buy tickets for the regular season on the website of a particular airline, we are "tracked" by SMS almost until we get off the plane. on charters, probably, there is no such thing? do they care?

In my opinion, you are making an elephant out of a fly.
The answer to your question: with independent tourism, everything will have to be monitored independently, regardless of whether it is a charter or a regular flight.

For regular there is an option for an additional fee (penny) SMS alerts, I always order them. On charters - a friend flies to Turkey on charters, because it’s cheaper and the TA employee (where she buys these tickets) at her request notifies her of the changes, but if there is no such person (necessary), then it may make sense to call TO (from which the charter is) and clarify this question. By delays .. And THAT does not always notify about this. We were taken from hotels in Phuket to the airport in November, and we sat there safely for 12 hours ... So anything happens. But in my opinion, there are countries in which you should not bother with independent travel and Egypt is one of them.

"package tours to Turkey and Egypt will always be cheaper than booking a charter and a hotel on your own ..." - but a charter and an apartment somewhere in Hadab will definitely be cheaper = renting a 3-room apartment with all amenities and furniture costs about $ 350-400 $ / month - there are definitely 4-6 seats there ;)

renting an apartment for a month or more is always cheaper than a hotel in Turkey and Egypt, but this is an apartment and not a hotel with even minimal meals already included. If you are planning an independent trip for the first time, it is better to start with hotels
