Just treat the ferry trip as part of your holiday! If it saves you that amount of cash its worth doing...

Lets hope the hurghada flights from London continue (the old GB route) and keep our fingers crossed for them to be tied in from Manchester as well. Easyjet have announced this week new flight plans from Manchester starting 2008 but there are no exact route confirmations available yet BUT they did say that some routes from Manchester may go via Gatwick depending on demand .....interesting! FINGERS CROSSED!!!

does it say when the completion is finalised because we wrote only a few weeks ago to easyjet who said they have no plans to travel to hurghada ! Great news though if its true !!

I think it depends who you get in customer services at easy jet to what answer you receive.
We are all hoping they do keep the routes up and running especially at the easyjet prices,that would be good.

It certainly is another way to get to Hurghada.
However what might happen if we all start to use this route,maybe further flight cuts.
I think there are obvious reasons on why XL have cancelled certain routes to Hurghada from the UK.
The flights are there they are just a bit expensive compared to other destinations of the same flight time.
The ferry is certainly worth looking at especially if you could tailor a two centre holiday, that would work out quite well.

Hi the ferry leaves Sharm for Hurghada at 18.00pm Sat, Mon, Tues and Thurs. The cost was $40 250LE each way which is around £25 each see their website on international fast ferries.

Hi all

Just wanted to share a little tip I have with you all although some may already know it.

When you are booking your internal flights with Egyptair for example Sharm to Luxor when you enter the site ensure that you choose the Egypt country from the pick list in the box on the righthand corner and not UK. You will get cheaper prices. But be warned that the prices have shot up. Last June I was paying £30 return and last month paid over £60!! By picking the Egypt one you can get them for up to half the price that they are selling by picking the UK one.

Also if you just turn up at the airport eg Gatwick you may be lucky enough to get on a standby. When I was last in Gatwick XL were selling them for £99 return. This will be great for home owners abroad and if you just want to go on the of chance of getting a cheap flight. dont be too disappointed if you cant get one though. I will certainly try this as we only live 20 mins from the airport as well. Has anyone else out there tried this and been successful??
