The Magic Formula To Getting A Cheap Egyptian Holiday

While there is without a doubt extremely good value to be found in the Red Sea, lots of people do get annoyed with some of the costs of holiday packages from the several United Kingdom airports. There is excellent value to be stumbled upon in the shops, pubs and restaurants in the various resorts coupled with the fabulous year round weather conditions, are just some of the reasons why Egypt is such a desirable location.

The fundamental headache is that there are simply not enough flights to The Red Sea and this allows prices to be kept more than other popular European destinations. Granted that The Red Sea does fall into a more expensive APD (Air Passenger Duty) zone than European destinations but the flight costs dictate where you will get your holiday to The Red Sea for a good price or not.

When talking about flights to Egypt, we are talking about the main tourist destinations of Sharm  and Hurghada. Both of these international airports serve various resorts and although there are flights from the United Kingdom into Cairo, Taba and Marsa Alam, the busiest international airports are Sharm  and Hurghada.

As with any flights, when seeking to get a better price, flexibility is the main factor. The Red Sea is an enormously popular place for families so school holidays, costs and availability can be restricted. Wherever possible, try and travel during term times. In the past, some of the lowest priced flight costs are in mid January with airline prices from 150GBP each. Coupled with low hotel rates, it is possible to tailor make a holiday for just with 220GBP (based on 2 sharing) but this naturally depends on the class of hotel and board basis.

The most expensive times of year are Xmas / New Year, Easter and August so if you are looking for a cheap Red Sea holiday and are flexible with your travelling dates, aim to stay clear of these busy times.
