Is it possible to book earlier in Egypt for October
The question is more for employees of travel agencies. Can you please tell me if it is now possible to book a tour to Egypt for mid-October? And if so, where?

Unfortunately, there are no prices for October yet. There are only some hotels calculated for September
Somewhere in a month they will appear
That year I booked a hotel for myself at the end of July for October, as a result, they saved $ 150 for 2, since then the price went up

You can even make reservations for the end of the year. But at daily prices (the price of the tour consists of components - the cost of the flight, the cost of the transfer, the cost per day of accommodation). With this calculation, the highest price of the tour is obtained. Usually sales are carried out according to SPO - special price offer, special offers, SPO. So far, only one operator has special offers - Pegasus.

I do not advise you to book now in October Prices will appear in just a couple of weeks, but they will be VERY high. In mid-September, you can easily buy a tour for October for $ 500 cheaper.

trespass, are you sure it will be $500 cheaper? I doubt it very much, and look at that year and remember how much the tour for September-October cost?
children's vacation + great weather (the peak of the season is warm and no winds) ...
That year, in the summer, I myself monitored all the prices every day and as a result, everything went up in price ... This year, there will be no changes, there will be the highest prices and they will go down only in November

2 Mariya25: if you are a travel agent, then I understand your desire to sell the tour as early as possible. I myself got tired of my elbows in January 2008, having bought a tour in December more expensive for $ 500 for three for 10 days. Now I won't make that mistake again. Moreover, I now have a new agent, a very decent and honest person.

trespass, it's really just inappropriate to hint at someone's dishonesty here ... no one argues that your agent is the best, of course
in fact, thank God I have enough of my own clients to still look for and lure someone through the site)))
Do not compare what happened in December 2008, when the crisis banged + course + underload flights and in general prices changed 3 times a day and what is happening in the high season.
It's up to you, by and large, I don't care at all, the main thing for me is that my tourists are happy.
sorting out some kind of relationship on the site and insulting people (and as a manager you insulted me) is at least stupid

What does December 2008 and the crisis have to do with it? I do not understand..
And about dishonesty, I'm not hinting :-) I'm saying bluntly: early booking is beneficial to dishonest travel agents. I can even explain why: when booking a tour for a month or more, the tourist pays the price for the entire tour WITHOUT a special offer from the tour operator. Those. the full cost of the tour, a little overpriced. The travel agent, taking this money, redeems the tour in TWO weeks. Do I explain clearly? :-) In two weeks, the travel agent buys the tour at a price with a special offer, saving up to 500 (or maybe more) dollars on this. He (the travel agent) generously gives a discount to the poor tourist as much as FIVE percent, which often amounts to a maximum of one and a half hundred dollars, but earns much more on it. Can you clarify the technical side of the issue? :-)
And overbooking often happens precisely because the travel agent did not transfer the money to the operator, and he, in turn, to the hotel on time, but delayed them, expecting prices to fall.
I traveled three times through fifa from Venus Tur, which on the third time set me up in this way, and because of her greed, I ended up on the street in a foreign country (on an island without an embassy) at three in the morning. So don't tell me about travel agent angels :-)

answer.. ok....
Quote: "The travel agent, taking this money, redeems the tour in TWO weeks. Do I explain clearly? :-)"
Don't you think that few people work this way? after all, if you didn’t book the tour on time, then the places left, the hotel stopped .... what do you think about the agent at such a moment? sorry, in the ass .. no one will substitute himself like that (of course, there are people who are out of their minds, who then don’t care what a tourist says when he suddenly has no tour after 2 weeks)
Then telling a tourist that his flight was canceled or the hotel was burned down is not cool .... there are very few of them .... it's just dishonorable and risky
Quote 2: "And overbooking often happens precisely because the travel agent did not transfer money to the operator, and he, in turn, to the hotel on time, but delayed them, expecting prices to fall."
What is overbooking: this is when more rooms are booked than there are in the hotel.
Occurs due to the fault of an operator who did not follow the STOPs in a hotel or a hotel where the reception did not count the numbers correctly
There is some truth in your words, of course, there are different people, but I sincerely hope that there are few of them
You have to treat people the way you want them to treat you. This is my personal opinion.
In any situation, you should remain human

These, of course, are beautiful words, you won’t say anything :-) But your words, compared to my real experience of communicating with "nice people", are an empty phrase. We tourists should stick together and warn each other about all the more or less unpleasant things that can happen to us. After all, once abroad, no one will come to our aid, except ourselves. And the more complex the problem, the more difficult it is to get through to the travel agent who sent us on this journey.
Therefore, I hope that at least a dozen tourists will read my words and draw appropriate conclusions from them.

Ok, let these words be an empty sound
Everyone has their own opinion. You need to be able to choose a travel agent. That's it.

trespass - you think very badly about the tourism manager and about travel agencies in general
and this opinion was most likely formed from experience
the question arises - WHY DID YOU CHANGE THE AGENT SO LATE??????
change it earlier - the sun would shine brighter :)

And why did I have to change his agent if I visited five countries and everything was fine? And where is the guarantee that another agent would not do the same? Are you an agent too? I understand..:-)

2 Mariya25: nonsense, I got my agent through an acquaintance, but even this does not guarantee a relaxing holiday. And see for yourself: most agents advise you to take a tour in advance. WHY? You yourself wrote that prices are falling (in the question about Hurghada), and they are falling. So why force a person to buy in advance? After talking with agents here, I probably refuse their services altogether. You girls are unprofessional, oh so unprofessional :-(

trespass - you are inconsistent in your answers :)
a few posts ago they wrote that NOW YOU HAVE A GOOD AGENT!!!!
then they wrote horror stories about the fact that they take money from tourists, but they don’t book a tour, but they wait for good prices and earn money on it
from this I concluded that your past agent did something unnatural to you and after that you see everything in a black light
and was glad that you finally have a GOOD agent, and asked - why did you endure the bad for so long ???
and now you ask why it was changed??????
and professionalism is determined in practice, and not in chatter on the forum ...
HAVE A GREAT REST!
