Default Flying times are part of the issue I think.

I think there are obvious reasons on why XL have cancelled certain routes to Hurghada from the UK.
The flights are there they are just a bit expensive compared to other destinations of the same flight time.
The ferry is certainly worth looking at especially if you could tailor a two centre holiday, that would work out quite well.

We were delayed for 30 hours last week due to an engine problem. Due to needing to fly for over 5 hours each way it made impossible to get another plane with crew the same day.

This sort of operational issue causes UK flights to be less profitable since they are higher risk. Must have cost Thomas Cook thousands since a plane load of people had a to stay overnight at a 5 star resort on All Inclusive.
