Hi, am looking for direct flights to Hurghada from London at Easter .... found some at £500-600. Easyjet don't seem to be booking flights after March 31st. Are they planning to fly there? when will they release their flights? any ideas? I might have to fly to Sharm and transfer by Egyptair. Groan!

Easyjet have only announced there winter schedule to Hurghada up to the 31st March. We will all know in December about the summer flights - fingers crossed!

There's a problem with their website at the moment...logo changing or something! when I bought in advance it was £20, when I bought only one week ahead it was £26. Did it all on line, flight took 20 mins, better that 12 hours on the bus for £8.50! the ferry is £26 for foreigners but it had broken down and wasn't working for a long while. These were August prices. Keep trying!

thanks Leila - was that return or each way. If the worst comes to the worst - then we will be flying to sharm, as they appear more frequent (and cheaper) than Hurghada.

Ooops sorry,one way! one of the problems is that flights are not every day. My connection home was tiring as I arrived in Sharm from Hurghada at 10.30am and my Easyjet flight to Gatwick wasn't until 9.30pm. Still, the cafe wasn't expensive, the book was good and I had been over there for almost a month so a day at the airport wasn't too bad.

Hi Leila,
I thought 4 hours waiting for a connecting flight was bad enough, but 11 hours!!
Thats a long time, poor you. Was you on your own?

There are many of us that regularly need to go to Hurghada and therefore spend time looking for cheap flights.

The average price for non-school holiday dates for me is about £280 from Gatwick on a Friday.

I've noted that there are sometimes a few lower cost flights around on some dates but these are difficult to find.

It would be great if any members who find a good deal for ANY date could add to this thread so that other may see if they can benefit.

Thanks

I have two favourites and Freedom Direct always comes up best with prices, I have a tendancy to get a package deal as my apartment is not quite ready so I chose a hotel close. I have watched the site a lot recently and there was plenty of deals in January for under £280 each person. The other good company is Ebookers
Heathrow Minicabs London Heathrow Airport Taxi Tel: 02085740868 has a lot of information about Egypt airlines and address for Egypt Consulate
