Do Azur Air planes take off on time or with a delay?
I read a lot of negative reviews about Azur Air. We fly with them next week from Boryspil to Hurghada. With a small child. Honestly, the desire to fly was completely gone.
Who flew with them recently? Is everything really so terrible and never flies on time? We have a flight at 4 am, I really don’t want to spend 8-10 hours waiting for the flight. Thank you in advance

It's like luck. I flew them 2 times, once I sat at the airport for 10 hours, the other time everything was on schedule. No charter carrier ever gives a 100% guarantee that the plane will depart on schedule.

You do not get upset ahead of time. It happens differently, as luck would have it. In 2015, I flew from Boryspil - everything was just on "Hurray"! Even, quite unexpectedly, fed! From Hurghada - the flight was delayed by 2.5-3 hours. Last year - from Boryspil the flight was delayed for 3 hours, from Hurghada they took off on time. True, no longer fed. But this is a charter, anything is possible. Again, flights are weather related. Rest assured that everything will be fine and don't worry! Have a good rest and pleasant flights!

Azuras are the clearest among charters. Boryspil did not let out half a day on the 10th of January, flights were absorbed until night. We had a flight at 4 am on the 11th, they were also afraid to be pushed back, but everything was clear, we flew out only 10 minutes later because the wings were defrosted. Don't forget, winter is coming! Delayed flights are the norm, especially for charters. Azuir air ze best on egy, steward pilots on top

We flew with Azur to Hurghada in November 2016. In the future, if there is an alternative, we will not contact them.
We deliberately postponed the day of departure from Kyiv in order to fly out of Hurghada at 19-30 on the way back. The return charter on the last day was changed to 8 am, i.e. 1 day of rest was deliberately stolen. It was not only our opinion, but the whole bus that went to the airport in Hurghada.
And you - good luck, do not wind yourself up before the rest in vain, you may be lucky!

charter up to 24 hours +/- can change the time and nothing will happen to them, this is written in the contract

mishonok, the right to change the departure time within a day - is always prescribed for all charter air carriers. How far they move depends solely on the carrier. The "least" number of punctures - I wrote above from someone. Then MAU. Yanair, Bravo - most often they use this right. In general, over the past year, all carriers have sinned with this (and in all directions).

It doesn't scare me if I warn in advance about the transfer of the flight. It scares me to sit with a one-year-old child for 10 hours at the airport ...

Just how many have never flown have never had any delays or transfers of flights. And then I looked at the reviews with dates - very often people are pickled at the airport. Someone was taken from Sharm through Turkey !!!! There, as I understand it, they changed the plane and drove people around the airport without the opportunity to eat and buy food ...

You know the saying - "to be afraid of wolves - do not go into the forest!". There is nothing to know in advance. But if you and a one-year-old child are not afraid to fly to Egypt in January (as you know, children need at least a week to acclimatize, and such a sharp change in weather in winter is a rather big risk for a child, and children under 3 years old are not recommended to change the climate at all) then flight delays are not to be feared! And troubles can happen with any, even the most reliable carrier. Don't think about it and everything will be fine.

This is not guaranteed. Of all the carriers, Rosa and Azur have the minimum amount of time for delays. The rest had cases and to the maximum within the permitted.
Are you flying from Lviv or via Kyiv? There were no special troubles with Lviv flights.

Take with you sandwiches prices in Boryspil restaurants. I flew by this company in November, they were delayed for 3 hours, the tour operator did not warn that now no one feeds on the plane for free. Brutek on the plane 3 euros.

In November, they flew from Lvov, now from Boryspil. I hope for good luck and that we are lucky!!!
No, I am not afraid! I am a mother of three children, and we have been traveling with everyone since the year. Problems were only once - in a 3-year-old child with acclimatization in the Crimea!!! My husband's vacation is just now, but his conscience does not allow him to go without a younger one))) the elders rested in November)
In any case, this unforgettable sea air will benefit him.
My friends always ask me why Egypt? There are so many different countries. And I love this country, I have a good rest there. The sea is amazing...

galja20, I'm wildly sorry, but in Egypt, neither the smell of the sea, nor the sea air, and even more so the breeze, is felt at all. I adore the sea and sea air, precisely for its salty "taste", but for me it was an unpleasant surprise that the Red Sea does not smell at all, like the Black Sea, for example. I won’t say that this is bad, it’s just a fact (((True, this is all offset by the hot smell of the desert.
on sites about air carriers, 80% of reviews are left by hysterics who think that since they bought a tour on an airplane, they should perform a belly dance from the check-in counter to the exit from the airport, including border guards and customs officers)))
Need to be filtered. Everyone has delays and postponement of flights, even expensive companies like KLM or British Airways. When planning a trip, you need to remember this and be prepared for such a development of the situation, regardless of which carrier you use.

Yes, you are right about the smell. Apparently, this is due to the proximity of the desert. I also love the smell of the sea. It is especially acute in winter. Enjoyed it somehow in January Evpatoria. But Egypt is something special and the sea is incredible!

vichka591, you know, be that as it may, but I miss the Crimea, the sea, its nature more and more sharply (((Let everything not be as cool as in Egypt, but it draws to the Crimea ((((Okay, this is a digression from the topic .
Crimea had its own charm, Egi had its own))) I really like it when you get off the plane and such a "blow" in the face of hot desert air, super!

galja20, nuances periodically arise with Ktev flights. But hope that everything will be ok. From Lviv, it’s really more trouble-free to fly in terms of transferring flights. Even when all Turkish flights were "stormy" in the summer, Lviv had the smallest number of troubles. And in Egypt has not yet been observed. In November it was, but due to weather conditions, when one or two flights were delayed due to the then cyclonic snowfall. At least now everything is going according to schedule - both to Hurghada and Sharm and back
purpurpur, for me personally, no Egi can be compared with the South Coast. For cheap prices, yes. For diving enthusiasts, yes, but everything else, no. I have 16 times, in any situation and wherever I rest, I still come to the Crimea at least for a week. And in reality, such air as on the South Coast can only be felt on the Ligurian coast in Italy.

And I'm glad that the Crimeans)) in childhood it was cool, then nostalgia smoothed out ... but as soon as all the seas and oceans were discovered, Crimea became shamefully shameful. I still went under the guise of a company, but the pleasure is below average, I won’t drink so much (c) Egypt royal compensation for a black lake in an owl dump. The mass of fellow tribesmen went abroad for the first time at a modest price, the enthusiasm is going wild. Everyone you know is glad that the gluttonous cesspool of rats has returned to their rotten haven of urya!

Well, I don’t feel any nostalgia for Crimea (((and I wouldn’t take children there now - no conditions, prices are space. A hotel on the beach with good food, sun loungers, more or less decent is very expensive. And I won’t say anything about the service at all .. ..I love to RELAX comfortably!!!!

Charter flights may change schedules for their own internal reasons. The time change does not depend on the airline.
Azur Air changes departure times a little more often than other airlines. Perhaps because it flies more often.
Windrose has the fewest transfers and delays.
You can select an airline at the time of booking.

In December, we flew out 2 hours later, but we were warned and we happily stayed at the hotel. Today, too, delayed for a couple of hours. I always check flights around Boryspil. Our flight is lit up at one in the morning, so it was also supposed to take off at about nine. Last year, finally, they gave us a whole day. So far, we are lucky with the Azuras!
