Default Tips for internal flights with Egyptair and XL

Hi all

Just wanted to share a little tip I have with you all although some may already know it.

When you are booking your internal flights with Egyptair for example Sharm to Luxor when you enter the site ensure that you choose the Egypt country from the pick list in the box on the righthand corner and not UK. You will get cheaper prices. But be warned that the prices have shot up. Last June I was paying £30 return and last month paid over £60!! By picking the Egypt one you can get them for up to half the price that they are selling by picking the UK one.

Also if you just turn up at the airport eg Gatwick you may be lucky enough to get on a standby. When I was last in Gatwick XL were selling them for £99 return. This will be great for home owners abroad and if you just want to go on the of chance of getting a cheap flight. dont be too disappointed if you cant get one though. I will certainly try this as we only live 20 mins from the airport as well. Has anyone else out there tried this and been successful??

Queenie
