October is the best month to visit Egypt IMHO.
How the elections will end, I think, no one knows for sure. I would also really like to know this.

there may be an earthquake before October. And we have a revolution. And all that... That no one can know. I would book in advance, and you can cancel the tour 21 days before departure with almost every tour operator without penalty.

Why even buy in advance? Are you planning a specific hotel and it may then be on the STOP?
There are always vouchers before departure, well, you can a week in advance, and buy in advance and then think about how to refuse, assign work to the agency, what's the point?
There are no cheap tickets in advance, so what's the point?
The time will come, buy a ticket and go to rest.
I believe that nothing will change, as people traveled, they will continue to travel to the Red Sea, regardless of the authorities.

And we are going at the end of October, but I see no reason to buy a tour in advance!
2 weeks before the vacation, it is enough to buy vouchers and then with a 15% discount

There are no problems with hotels now. All are half empty.
The people are still partially afraid to fly to us. So listen to the experts.

Every year we go to Egypt in October
great period!
warm, the sea is also warm, excursions are also normal
we never buy in advance, it makes no sense to overpay
there is always something to choose from, and the prices are reasonable

there are no problems with hotels, but there definitely can be with departures. Arrive 2 weeks before departure, and there are no seats on the flights. Especially in October, the most popular month. High season. It happens so often now. Tour operators have reduced the number of charters. Yes, and the most popular and best-priced hotels can also be in the foot and you have to choose from what is. And the price is unlikely to change. So what's the point in waiting and taking risks?

"Tour operators have reduced the number of charters."
The charter program has not yet been planned for October, it will be launched in September.
And you already know in advance what you have reduced. Always, in any period of the week there are tickets, not in one MOT, but in another.
If you are sure that you will definitely go and want a specific hotel that is in demand, then run and book.
And if you are indifferent to the name of the hotel, then you can always choose the right one.

I would just monitor the situation. Maybe something burning would snatch. And now it's October - too much can change, and the prices are not quite ice!

Thank you for your answers. I always choose hotels very carefully, so I don’t really want to choose from what I have. Especially since the first trip to Egypt, everything must go perfectly and there was a desire to return again.

oresta52 if there are tours, then there are places on the flights, then the charter has already been redeemed. Not a single TO agrees for a charter a month before the tour. It's not realistic, it's too short. I don't know much about how a charter is redeemed. But on our site here there is one very strong theorist by the nickname HotLine. He knows for sure. I would like to hear his opinion on this matter.

Now there is already a SPO for the fall, and there are places.
But their number (seats on the plane) and the number of flights are regulated before the start of the season. It all depends on the demand for tours in a particular direction. If the demand is high, more planes will be launched (there will be more burning ones), if the demand is not very good, there will be fewer flights and there will be consistently high prices.
And with HotLine we work in the same area.
For the price that you buy a tour now, you can buy a better hotel later.

I am also a travel agent, but I know for sure that the number of last-minute tours absolutely does not depend on the number of flights, but only on the number of tour operator errors when he did not calculate and bought more places than he sold. And when he sees that he will not sell, he lowers the price. Recently, TO began to track demand very closely and therefore there are no last-minute tours, as before. And it happens that there are no places for flights in 2 weeks. TO are afraid of a puncture and buy out only such a number of seats that they will definitely sell in advance.

Buying seats on their charter plane? How is it?
Or maybe they buy the whole flight? and then they can’t fill the plane, from this Burning ...

TO does not own the airline, it does not have aircraft, it buys seats from airlines. Sometimes the whole plane, sometimes not the whole. Often, TOs cooperate on one flight and buy the entire flight together. But once again I repeat: I do not know all the details of this scheme.

Have you seen the prices in Anexa on 13.06 in Hurghada?
Why were they like this? Because flight QU4421 was filled only with this MOT.
And flights to Egypt like PS4415 fill up together, each with its own block of seats, filling them with expensive tours.
And Anex, I think, did not lose by filling the plane with its tourists, moreover, throwing off the prices of part of the tickets.

and there are seats for flights only on the 18th. Those. even in the low season there are no places for a week. And what about in high? This only confirms my opinion that you need to book a tour in advance.

You will not see those SPOs now, Jardin was on 2 + 1 on 14n. for 1750. Sunrise Mamluk for 14n. for 2+1 for 1950 c.u.
I booked on June 7, and on June 7 in the morning there were already other prices.
You, probably, did not work on June 7, that you did not see these prices?

In the low season, there are a lot of people who want to go to Egypt, but the flights were moved to Turkey.
Therefore, few flights are sorted out in advance, and when in the season (since September), each MOT will launch their own flights (and not a block of seats), there will be enough seats for everyone and Last-minute ones too.

I doubt about burning ones. A hot tour is like it was 3 years ago Hilton Long Beach for 3 for 7 nights for 600 dollars. Or 4 matches for 2 for 420 dollars. Now tour operators are not such fools as to work at a loss.

This is not a loss when an almost full plane is filled at good (expensive) prices and the last 15-20 tickets are given away with big discounts or even for free (the plane has to fly anyway, and it’s not profitable to carry empty seats). The tourist pays for the hotel.

And now in the high season there are such prices!
And for 500 and 600 for a week for two, you just have to catch them!

oresta52, speaks truly. Although I am not a travel agent, I came to the same conclusions empirically :))) Those who book in advance, those who "pay" for the tickets of those who catch the "low" price. Of course, this will not work 100%, but there are chances. You just need to "graze" the situation and trust your "feel".
PS. I have already managed to catch the lowest price twice. And once giving the "command - Book!" Arriving at the travel agency after 3 hours the price was $300
And three times the price was almost the lowest.
When we went for the first time and booked in advance, yes, we paid in full.

Let me disagree that it is unprofitable to buy in advance. We have been to Egypt since May 21 and bought a ticket on April 4. 3 weeks before departure, prices soared by 20% of the cost of the tour for early booking, and 2 weeks later, plane tickets ran out. A day later, the hotel stood at a stop and did not even hit the burning ones. Although the occupancy of the hotel was only 55%. Now TOs are reinsured and do not buy many places, so there are simply no last-minute tours to good hotels.
