Flights

[lyndsay552]

I don't seem to be able to find any flights under £200 each for the next six months. Even getting them under £300 is a struggle.

Has anyone managed to come across any deals recently?

Much appreciated

Where from Lyndsay?

I have renamed the thread from Low cost flights to Hurghada to Egypt so we can include Sharm. Cairo, Luxor etc.

 

[lyndsay552]

It doesn't matter where we fly from, as we always need the connecting flight from NI.

One way from Gatwick is £72.99 with easyjet 25th April

Also returns here Hurghada Flights, Cheap Flights to Hurghada , Egypt Air Fares at £174.98 - various dates in Nov, Dec 08 and Jan 09.

Have Xl stopped flying to Hurghada after 25th April as this route is not on their summer schedule.

 

[lyndsay552]

Thanks for that. Seems that all the summer flights are silly prices.

Olympic holidays are showing flights to Hurghada with EASYJET next year,dont know if it has been posted before anywhere before because this is the first time ive seen it on the web.

 

[lyndsay552]

We booked flights through Olympic this year but that was before Easyjet took over the route. It was about half the price going through Olympic than booking directly with BA. Lets hope its the same next year!!

I cant seem to find any flights with olympic for next year - nor with easyjet!
AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG?

Sorry my up cock,it was for 2008. *holds head in shame*

I've been round in circles all afternoon and the summer schedule flights are rediculous prices. Just got to wait and see if they come down in price.

We need to go over the end of aug, beginning of sept for the completion of Oasis.

hi lyndsey - do you think they will be ready then? - here's hoping!

 

[lyndsay552]

Oasis? Hope so, they seem to be coming on well. When you see how advanced they are compared to other developments, who say they'll be completing within 2 months!!

We're over at the end of April, so I'll keep everyone up to date.

Try Thomsonfly dot com they are coming out £96 each way from gatwick to marsa alam (I think they also fly to Sharm and Luxor) - this was based on late april/early may

 

[lyndsay552]

Thats who we booked with to fly 25th april. Prices for sept are about £300 each!!

Cheap flights to Hurghada from Northwest

 

[lovesquadsue]

No probs! At least we are all looking out for deals!
Does anyone know how you would go about getting a flight from Hurghada (or Egypt in general) back to UK just one way? Was thinking about maybe booking an outbound only then arranging a return while over there.....

Flights to Egypt from Spain

Living in Spain I have always thought that the cheapest way to get to Hurghada was by flying first from Malaga to Gatwick, then taking the cheapest charter going! This still requires an overnight stop in Gatwick the night before the flight and on the night we get back. Taking the return flight from Spain at about 150€, two nights in Gatwick at about the same price, plus the cheapest charters at between 300-400€, this still adds up to 600-700€.

Imagine my surprise when I found that I can fly from Malaga to Madrid for about 100€ return and then Air Egypt or Iberia to Cairo for 368€ return and an onward flight to either Hurghada or Sharm for another 100€ return.

Although the cost is the same this can all be done in a day and is using schedule flights with prices pretty much the same year round. I have always been surprised how many Spanish people are going to Egypt on holidays but these prices and ease of travel could well be the reason.
