Do you want to essentially not pay extra 25%? Usually, the tour package is not divided (charter and hotel in one team). Changing the date of departure, in fact, is a re-issuance of the tour. If you booked at the same price (specified in the contract), you will redeem at the same price. For Egypt, early booking is not a good idea.

In this case, there is a scale for terminating the contract. Calculate if the losses are small (there is a gradation, the closer to the departure date, the greater the fine), that is, it makes sense to re-book. But, as practice shows, such a price appears even when such manipulations do not make sense.

Yes, you are right in February for an early tour 63 thousand UAH, taking into account a 10% discount, now without a discount 57800 UAH. This is what she won.

I did not quite understand the second half of the question, but as far as I know, any changes on your initiative after the confirmation of the tour is fraught with fines.
As I understand it, you are sorry for the overpaid 300 ye, but early booking is a lottery. If the tour went up in price by 300 ye, I think you would not be outraged))))

This is also connected with the dollar/hryvnia exchange rate, in February the exchange rate for TO was 29.5, and now for TO is 27.5
63000 UAH approximately in February 2136$, 57800 UAH today approximately 2102$. The hryvnia has strengthened and the tour has become cheaper in hryvnia, and in USD it has remained about the same

And 10% past the cash register? Even at a conditional exchange rate of 29.5, this is 2349 dollars
lisnevuch, I'm sorry, but they won't let you make up the difference, there are a lot of bad ones (s) Shut down the search engine, draw conclusions and get ready for vacation

I think that the topikaster did not quite understand or explained incorrectly. It is always necessary to look at the cost of the tour in the currency of the tour (in this case, it is dollars), since the hryvnia exchange rate can both rise and fall. If the cost fell by 300 ye in dollars (the tour was originally 2000 and became 1700), in this case we can say that the tour has fallen in price. And if there are fluctuations in the exchange rate, then on the contrary you are lucky, because I will consider your balance at the current exchange rate, and it fell well. Tk with the Republic of Belarus, the cost of the tour is fixed in foreign currency and the hryvnia is recalculated at the rate of payment.

klichko 10% is not past the cash register, but a discount. With RB, it may well be, because TO give very good commissions TA for such applications.

I once had such a story, but not because of the exchange rate (that's for sure), but in dollars the price fell by 300. I rebooked to another hotel, more expensive. There were no fees or penalties. But it was a long time ago

Everything depends on the timing. Something like this, a month before the trip without fines (and during this period you can safely close one contract and re-sign another, especially if there is one MOT). But if 3 weeks before ...%, 2 weeks before..%, 100% fine. I don't remember the scale exactly, but something like this. Once upon a time there was a promotion at TUI that if the price fell in Belarus, then they return the difference of the type, but this year it did not work (friends also burned well in Belarus). Well, RB is always a risk, there is still a risk of exchange rate fluctuations ... you can’t foresee everything, you’ll lose somewhere, you’ll arrive somewhere.

Anex is one of the toughest, if not the toughest TOs in terms of tour returns. They do not have the possibility of canceling the tour without a fine, even for a month or more. Moreover, they have a very cunning wording in the contract that the tourist is obliged to compensate them for losses from the cancellation of the tour. Under this wording, they take almost the entire advance. I also periodically try to take something from Anex in RB. My travel agent always stops me.

Now the anex is still normal. I always take Turkey in Belarus and somehow it was an excellent hotel (5 years ago) at the annex it was cheaper by 400 ye than at Pegasus. But after reading the annexation agreement, it was then prescribed without a gradation of a 100% fine, the impossibility of replacing a tourist (it was equivalent to canceling the tour and a 100% fine), and so on ... in any case, I would not see my money. And since it was booked in January at the end of May, we decided not to risk it and took it even more expensive, but through Pegasus.

"in February for an early tour 63 thousand UAH, taking into account a 10% discount, now without a discount 57800 UAH"
--------------------
When converting with access to equal amounts, the xperd lost 10%. The gross price in February was 63000+6300=69300:29.5=2349 USD. At the moment 57800 UAH = 2101 dollars. The difference is 248 dollars, and maybe more, because in February the dollar began to sag
I will subscribe, the price of the tour is formed in foreign currency and there is no need to litter the brains with hryvnias. It is the Russians who are ordered to count everything in rubles, but we are not

If it was a 10% discount as an advertisement for Anex for early booking, then this tour was worth it
As usual, on the site of Anex or another operator, there is the original price that is crossed out and next to the% discount for the tour and the new discount price for RB - in fact, the discount price is the real price of the tour. And discounts, crossed out prices or discounted prices are just a marketing ploy.

He was subscribed to TUI shares.
In January, a message from TUI comes to the E-mail.
I would not have paid attention, but then immediately after the message, the phone rings and the girl from the TUI starts praising the shares. Said I'd take a look and call back.
I looked at the message, and there are discounts on tours to Egypt in May. g. 10%.
I took a choice of 2 hotels and looked at another MOT. There, prices without discounts are the same as prices with a 10% discount on the TUI website.
I call TUI back and ask the same question as our author of the question, "what if the price goes down?".
And I get an answer - if in the future the price of the tour decreases, there will be no change. But if the price rises, there will be no change either.
Conclusion: there was no real discount. They tried to get into just a tour, like the author of the question.
So, lisnevuch need to pay extra and go to rest.
And the price of the tour has not changed.
Vika284 counted correctly. The hryvnia has just strengthened. But that's another story.

I repeat once again, the Republic of Belarus in Egypt is pure divorce. In the summer in Egypt, it’s not the season, as in the same Turkey, you can easily sell the most lousy hotels there, but in the summer you need to strain to Egypt in order to send a flow of tourists TO and TA, so they come up with pseudo-auctions of unprecedented generosity since winter. How many times I looked at myself and my friends asked for advice, often, not always of course, especially if the hotel is not the kind where tours sell one MOT, it’s profitable to buy in just two weeks - ten days, and if everything is taken to the hotel in a row, then it’s generally calm for five days before departure. IMHO, of course, I will not argue and say that this is the truth, I speak from my personal experience.
Regarding Aneks, but of course he became quite insolent. With their flight delays.

Do not be fooled by the TO numbers crossed out from the lantern. These sweet %% do not cancel the well-deserved TA discount from the real tour amount

There are hotels in Egypt that make sense to take ahead of time
============
To do this, you need to know the pricing policy seasonally, both hotels and maintenance. And this is many years of experience, not everyone has it. And it’s not a fact that the price will not drop closer to departure. And with the Turkish there is already a lottery in the Republic of Belarus, although it used to work ironically. If it still makes sense to stake out for the holidays, then spring and autumn are sold differently. The price dances on demand, and it is unpredictable. And children's hotels, and even on vacation, always fly away like hot cakes

Many thanks to EVERYONE who participated in the discussion of this topic.
I am a tourist with extensive experience, I monitor all prices every day in TO, I chose a good hotel, not very cheap and decent. I will come to the agency specifically with the amount to be paid. I calculate the course and everything else. The tour was purchased in January.
But this year, after monitoring all the hotels in Egypt, such a picture. Decent hotels that were expensive have dropped in price, while budget hotels such as Sunrise Garden or Sunrise Mamluk, Sunrise Makadi have raised $2700 from $1900. That is, TO is not at a loss, but the tourist has flown.
Good luck with your choice and early booking.
Sincerely, tourist.

Zolyshka111, The concept is not expensive for everyone. For example, I don’t see any reason to go for 7 nights at all, so I look from 12 nights, well, the composition is 2 + 2 where one of the children is already considered in some places as an adult, maybe 12 years old. And departure from Kharkov. This is where I come from. And to catch a price on it last year of 1800 ye at the end of April - it was very good, because its average cost for my parameters was about 2400 and no less, but by the flight 2600. This year they also caught a good price for it, but it appeared literally in the evening at these tours and by the middle of the next day the price returned again ... but we managed to buy. I will add that I do not risk flying with annexes and joins with children. But for the Albatros Aqua Park hotel in Hurghada, the situation is different (we also booked it this year for the end of April). They just fell in price by 300 ye (not the course). Initially, for thuja 12 nights 2 + 2 cost 915 ye, and as a result I bought it for 1605 ye.
