London to Hurghada flights

When fares to Hurghada are lowest

Fares to Hurghada tend to be lowest outside the school holiday weeks, when demand drops and airlines release more seats at lower levels. The live fare calendar on this page shows this month's lowest fares, and each route page shows the Slashtel Fare Index, where 100 is the usual monthly fare and 85 or under is a good time to book.

Winter sun is the main draw on this route, so late autumn and early spring dates often sit below the peaks of Christmas, New Year and the half term weeks. Use the calendar to compare dates before you commit.

To book with more confidence, follow these steps:

1. Open the live fare calendar on this page and see this month's lowest fares for London to Hurghada.
2. Compare your shortlisted dates against the Slashtel Fare Index, where 100 is usual and 85 or under signals a good time to book.
3. Set a price alert so we check fares every day and email when they fall well under the usual price for your dates or under your own target.
4. Book once the index and the calendar agree, rather than waiting for a drop that may not come.

Direct flights and airlines on the route

TUI and easyJet fly London to Hurghada nonstop into Hurghada International Airport (HRG). Ryanair and Wizz Air appear in our fare checks with a stop, and some of these are self transfer routes on separate tickets, which carry risk if a flight is delayed.

Nonstop is the simple choice for Red Sea holidays, and both nonstop carriers serve the route. If you are comparing options, check whether a cheaper looking itinerary includes a stop and a change of ticket.

Self transfer means you are responsible for making the connection, and a delay on the first flight can leave you stranded. For winter sun trips with dive gear or a resort transfer waiting at HRG, a nonstop ticket removes that worry.

Busy weeks on the London to Hurghada route

Christmas and New Year, February half term, Easter and October half term are the busiest weeks on the London to Hurghada route. Fares and seats tighten in these periods, so book early or shift your dates by a week or two if your plans allow.

Half term weeks pull families towards the Red Sea for reliable sun, and the Christmas and New Year period is popular with divers and sun seekers alike. Easter moves each year, so check your dates against the school calendar before you set an alert.

If you can travel outside these weeks, you will usually find more room to manoeuvre on price. The live fare calendar on this page shows this month's lowest fares and helps you spot the quieter windows.

Arriving in Hurghada: phone, data and entry

Egypt is 2 hours ahead of the UK for most of the year, so set your watch on landing. Mobile networks include Vodafone, Orange, e& (Etisalat) and WE, with 4G coverage and 5G in some areas. Check the official rules for your passport before you fly.

A travel eSIM or a mobile top up set up before departure means you land with data ready for maps, transfers and messages. Coverage is strong in Hurghada and along the main Red Sea resort areas, with 5G in some areas rather than everywhere.

Entry requirements depend on your passport and change over time, so read the official rules for your passport before you fly and allow time to sort anything you need. Keep your accommodation details handy for arrival at Hurghada International Airport (HRG).

How to get a price alert for your dates

Set a price alert and we check fares every day and email when they fall well under the usual price for your dates or under your own target. You choose the dates and the level that works for you, and the alert does the watching.

Alerts suit this route because fares swing with school holidays and winter demand. Pick your travel window, add a target, and let the daily checks run while you plan the diving and the sunshine.

Use the Slashtel Fare Index alongside your alert. When the index reads 85 or under, it is a good time to book, and the live fare calendar on this page shows this month's lowest fares so you can see where the market sits today.
