When To Book & Cheapest Months

April and May are the cheapest months for flights to Egypt, with average roundtrip prices at €229 and €235. Book 6-8 weeks ahead to secure these rates—prices rise 12% if you wait until 3 weeks before departure. December and January are 25% more expensive due to holiday demand, averaging €375 roundtrip. Avoid June and July for peak heat (average 38°C/100°F) unless you prioritize low prices over weather.

Watch Out For These Flight Traps

Wizz Air charges €34 for carry-on bags on flights from London, a fee not visible during initial booking. I learned this the hard way in April 2024 when my checked bag cost an extra €42 at the airport. Also, EgyptAir’s "basic economy" fares exclude seat selection—book at least 48 hours before departure to choose a seat. Never book on the day of travel; last-minute fares are 35% higher than advance bookings.

What Are The Cheapest Airport Options?

Cairo International (CAI) is the main hub, but Hurghada International (HBE) offers 20% cheaper flights for Red Sea destinations. Flights from London to HBE average €195 roundtrip in April, compared to €229 to CAI. However, transfers from HBE to Sharm take 45 minutes (€12 via taxi) versus 40 minutes from CAI to Cairo (€15 taxi). Always confirm your destination airport code when booking—some sites list CAI for Hurghada.

Q: What’s the cheapest airline for flights to Sharm?

Wizz Air (W6) offers the lowest fares to Sharm, with one-way flights at €158 from London in April. EgyptAir (MS) averages €210, while easyJet (U2) charges €245 for a premium economy seat with extra legroom.

Q: How much does baggage cost on EgyptAir?

EgyptAir includes 23kg of checked baggage in economy, but charges €20 for each additional kilogram over 23kg. Carry-on bags are free, but you’ll pay €15 for a second carry-on at check-in. In 2024, 37% of passengers paid extra fees for baggage beyond the free allowance.

Q: Is it cheaper to fly to Cairo or Hurghada?

Flights to Hurghada International (HBE) are 22% cheaper than Cairo (CAI) in April. A London to HBE roundtrip costs €195 average, versus €229 to CAI. However, HBE has fewer direct flights—only 4 weekly from London versus 12 to CAI. For Red Sea resorts like Sharm, HBE is the smart choice for budget travelers.

Local Logistics: Airport Transfers & Transport

Cairo International (CAI) is 30km from downtown Cairo, with taxi fares averaging €15-€20 (30-45 minutes). Hurghada International (HBE) is 20km from Sharm, with fixed-rate taxis at €12. Avoid airport taxis that quote €25+—stick to official counters. For Cairo, the metro line 2 connects CAI to the city center for €0.50 (40 minutes). In Sharm, Uber is cheaper than taxis at €7 for a 10km ride.
