Well maybe not but it seems like a damned good deal. Just booked 3 adult flights from Gatwick to Hurghada with Thomas Cook for 2nd January, returning 6th February for 531 GBP.

Worked for us on the Gatwick end - no idea about return yet.
.
2 lots of extra leg room seats - near the front - and around row 22 I think

Just a note to all easy jet users, some passengers have been left stranded in Hurghada due to the check in closing early, very very early. Make sure you get there in PLENTY of time as actually getting thru security to check in can take an hour.

I dropped a friend off yesterday 3 hours before take off and she got through OK. Heard that others that arrived more than 2 hours before didn't get on the plane because of the chaos at security and the desk closing early!

Hi All
Just to let you know its all true about easyjet, they close the check in early, because once they have enough passengers, they won't take anymore, even though you have paid for the flights. They say it's because of the headwinds. They also say, you can pay £35 more and get the next flight out, which is the folowing week!! It's very wrong!!

Hi

Are you saying that they are trying to reduce the capacity of the plane due to headwinds? Yet still returning with empty seats ? There must be some law against this !

In my experience of returning from Hurghada headwinds are a frequent problem causing increased flying times. This is Easyjets problem not the customers ! My flight details for March have a specific checkin close time on them . If I am at the desk before this time and find that the desk is closed , I will be suing the a*** of Easyjet.

Ironically ,in the past we have turned up early and security would not let us through until 2 hours before the flight . We can't win !!

So much for cheap flights ?

And there was zero wind on Friday which is very unusual.
