Not sure if this has already been posted but there is a rule from Hurghada airport that if you are a resident and been here more than 28 days you must fly out of Egypt on a scheduled flight only. If you are on an annual tourist visa then I believe it is after 3 months you must leave on a scheduled service. Now that Astraeus and GB airways has stopped that means either scheduled via Europe from Hurghada or Egypt Air or BA from Cairo back to the UK. I don't think this rule applies to Sharm. And baksheesh doesn't work to get out on the charter flight as my friend tried
