Hi all

Thought I would pass on my tips for internal flights in Egypt.

Book online in the UK with Egyptair. Once in the site choose Egypt as the country and not your country of residence as you will get cheaper prices.

The earlier you book the cheaper the prices are eg you can get a return flight from Sharm to Hurghada including all taxes etc for under £25 return. You need to have a muck around with the dates. This will be worth while if the flights from UK to Sharm are alot cheaper than flying to Hurghada. The direct flight from Sharm to Hurg is only 40 mins.

You can book with either visa or mastercard. Use the cc number as each passengers ID number or their own individual passport number.

You will then get an E Ticket to print off and take to check in. I normally get to check in a little under an hour although can be done in half an hour but I never like to chance it.

The website ( FAQ section ) states that the person whose cc it is needs to be in the travelling party and you need to take the cc with you. I have never been asked to show it at check in but again wouldnt like to chance it.

Sharm to Luxor or Cairo is about 50 mins and again if you enter different dates you can get some really cheap fares.

Happy travels
