Hi everyone,

Just read on another forum about Easyjet Flights from Gatwick to Hurghada. Looks like they start November - just did a test on a random November date and it came it at around 120 return including baggage - brilliant news!!!

Manchester is my local airport but with these prices its well worth travelling to Gatwick!

Thanks for the heads up . Managed to book 10 days from 27th Feb for £125 PP including luggage .Half the price of the flights I have booked for September !

These are the cheapest fares I have seen in 4 years . Snap em up !!!

I've done it too! and in the February HALF TERM!!!!!!!!! what a stroke of luck - thanks to whoever put this up - GREAT!!!!!!
What I am miffed about is I contacted easyjet themselves and they said no flights - must have been only 2 weeks ago. I was then advised to go on their emailing list - which I did - but no emails from them saying this route had started up again! Still I am pleased at these prices - paid less than £200 return. fantastic!

Hi - can anyone help me on an easyjet question please. Have just booked us on some cheap flights and have paid for the hold luggage - 20kgs - but what about hand luggage is it part of the hold luggage allowance? or is it extra?

also - on the print out page 2 - it says 'each hold bag is charged at £10 per bag at the airport? do we have to pay again for the luggage? a very confused individual.

Hi

You are allowed 1 piece of hand luggage each which must fit into the baggage sizer at the check in desk . I dont think the weight is important but 10 Kilos is the usual limit . This is in addition to the 20 Kilo checked in allowance.

The £10 charge for hold luggage only applies if you have not pre paid for your luggage when you booked .

cheers Crombiestone - now looking forward to it!

I am assuming Easy Jet is charter as it has four numbers in the flight number? It allows you to book HRG - LGW - HRG but I can't leave on a charter flight from Hurghada due to their silly rule about only leaving scheduled if you have been in Egypt more than a month Guess I won't bother then and stay here So cheap though.

Hi Georgina

I thought Easyjet flights were scheduled ? Not sure about the four digits in the flight number . Is this Easyjet specific ? I have flown scheduled BA when the flight numbers had four digits in them.

GB Air who Easyjet took over from were scheduled flights .

The site allows one way flight bookings out of Hurghada , which I know doesn't guarantee anything but its worth checking with them .
