You are traveling to Hurghada on your own, so I would have thought about transfer to the hotel from Moscow (I found a company on the Internet that deals with transfers and ordered), otherwise - a taxi from the airport to Makadi. I won’t say the cost, in Egypt they are also bargaining for a taxi, especially at night.
If the hotel has prepared rooms, then you will be sold a room for an additional fee, if you are not ready, you will wait for the hour of check-in, in Booking you are probably informed about this.
Now about the transfer in Istanbul. If the transfer is in Ata-Turk (one airport), then we should be in time, but just enough, running everywhere. I always focus on transfers at an interval of 2-3 hours. .Although you will arrive at one airport? As for the language, don't worry, the Turks will connect a few words in Russian too.

I flew several times with Turkish (not in Hurghada), the impressions are the most pleasant. Tasty food on board, there is natural orange juice and natural coffee, this is a huge fat plus. Cutlery is either metal or high-quality plastic, I hate disposable cutlery, but they liked it. Even on short flights, you can watch movies and listen to music on monitors. They speak English, on flights from / to Russia they will also speak Russian.

Turkishi is a great airline. I fly with them often. English is spoken on any international flight by any airline. The hour is quite close. If this is your first time at Ataturk Airport, study the plan in advance

The author, pror transfer to the hotel and earlier check-in, you must independently escape from the hotel's GR. No one will do this for you, and the Booking service is also not responsible for this. A transplant within an hour is, frankly, not enough. Airlines in alliance? Baggage will be moved from the plane

With flight delays, they pah-pah! I didn’t come across, an hour in Ataturk is enough for a transplant. Faced with the cancellation of flights for various reasons, but both times the airline was as accommodating as possible and gave a choice on which flights to transfer.
Of course, no one guarantees early check-in at the hotel, unless you have agreed this with the hotel in advance. Maybe they will settle, or maybe they won’t, maybe they’ll have to pay before, or maybe they won’t.

Turkish Airlines is one of the best airlines in the world, there were no flight delays, the food on board is excellent. There was an experience of transferring in Istanbul (Kyiv-Istanbul-Bodrum) to a local flight to Bodrum in 40 minutes, it was necessary to go from the international terminal to the local one, you do not need all one terminal.
If you have all Moscow-Istanbul-Hurghada tickets, only Turkish Airlines will check you in immediately to Hurghada airport. Ataturk Airport is the base airport of Turkish Airlines, they always go towards those who flew in their air, there is a separate passage without a queue for holders of certain Turkish Airlines cards. And you have an international flight, you won’t even leave the terminal, normal transit, even enough time in duty buy something
On booking, there were some failures in check-in, the hotel transfer confused the terminal in which it was necessary to pick up. When checking in, there was a failure, one of the managers at the hotel reception did not pay attention that the payment for the hotel had already been made, and they tried to withdraw money again

If you arrive at night (for example, November 20 at 3 a.m.), and the hotel is paid from November 20, then you will definitely not be accommodated without an additional charge, because check-in is from 14:00 (standard time in many hotels in Egypt). And if the hotel is paid from November 19, and If you arrive on the night of 20, then this night has already been paid for and you will be accommodated immediately upon arrival at the hotel. Which option is yours? Turkish is my regular season, and as far as I know from this year, they flew without failures, unlike others (wim avia, victory, etc.).

If, according to booking, the day of arrival was included in the payment, then you, of course. will settle obligatory. If the beginning of the holiday - the next day - then, if there are free rooms, they will definitely settle, "pay - do not pay" will not work, you will have to pay.
If there is a transfer at the hotel, then you can contact the hotel, but knowing the "obligation" of the Egyptians (they forgot to wake me up for departure, it's good that they duplicated the alarm clock), I would not hope for them, given that it's still night.

on Turkish Airlines flights from Moscow via Istanbul to Hurghada, then you arrive at 2:45 am in Hurghada
everything is correct for you and my_contakt wrote with examples
and earlier check-in at hotels with a surcharge for early check-in is at 5 or 6 in the morning

I often fly through Istanbul and if Turkish Airlines then there is no strain with a transfer, even if it is a transfer from international to local, where is the border control, and here is international without leaving the terminal
if two different airlines, let's say Turkish Airlines and Aeroflot, one hour for a transfer is problematic

Do not worry, fly from Moscow to Egypt with a large company, you will be coordinated. Moreover, I think you will not go to CRM alone either)
Hotel transfer 40 euros (do you need it?). The port of Hurghada is full of cars, the price is up to 8-10 bucks. You can write via viber to the ABS taxi +20 100 222 8294 in English ... until you wait for your luggage, the car will already be there. Recently, cars with guests from the port have been allowed into the hotel territory. Early check-in is provided for package travelers, they can open it by booking ... all hope for a child. Congrats good choice

I often fly with Turkish Airlines! Service at the highest level. The flight was delayed 1 time in Dusseldorf in Istanbul had to wait 2 days. The airline provided a transfer from and to the airport, provided a wonderful hotel, as well as breakfast, lunch and dinner. Speaking good English at the airport. The airport is very large, so an hour is very short, but you will have time. It is also necessary to take into account if you are taken to the plane by bus, then boarding the bus stops in 20 minutes. Have a good rest.

And they won't wait! She herself witnessed how an aunt from Russia was late for the docking and also could not find her bag. I don’t know what happened to her and how she went on a spree, no one will wait. Getting lost at Ataturk Airport can only be a complete moron))). Everything is clear and simple. But! He is very huge! Over 600 gates. And the queue to get out of the plane from landing to the departure hall. You need to go through the security system and have time to look at the scoreboard and understand where the landing is taking place. I advise you to run from the plane!!! It will take about 20 minutes for the security system. You'll definitely make it, but don't stop anywhere! Turks speak excellent English. And don't forget to order the fish menu for the flight! Shrimps, white, red fish will please you in flight. Also a children's menu, amazingly decorated food for children, like in the best restaurants))

Wait or not wait, the airline decides by comparing the costs of waiting for latecomers and possible compensation for them if they do not wait. They can delay the connecting flight for an hour and a half, because the next plane in this direction is only a day later, you will have to pay for the hotel. And they can fly away without waiting 30 minutes, because the next same flight is in two hours and there are places there.

The costs are paid by the airline if it is at fault. Let's say if the previous flight is delayed. And so everyone will hang out, knowing that they will be expected where they want and no responsibility. The man himself chooses the connection. Nobody forces him. Turkish Airlines is a very serious and generous airline, works well, can make concessions and wait a long time in principle. And yes, latecomers are sent on the next flight, but the hotel will be paid only if they themselves are to blame!

Tanya_78 If the "aunt from Russia" was looking for luggage, then she had more than one ticket. And here the situation is more complicated. With a single ticket, the airline handles baggage handling. And of course, I do not suggest walking around the airport if boarding for your flight has already been announced. If your first flight is late, then the second one will be a connecting one, or they will hold you with a departure, or, indeed, they will put you on the next closest one.
And something I doubt the "enormity" of Ataturk and the presence of 600 (!) Gates there. :)

Look at the map of the airport. It has two floors and is very large. I don't see the point in arguing about it. Everything will be as it will be. It is worth calling the hotline of the airlines themselves, and not listening to home analysts. Auntie was looking not for luggage, but for a bag. And yes, she could fly with another airline). And I remind you that I wrote this review for those who asked, and not for discussions of a different nature. There are other sites for this. If the review helped, well, no - do not be offended)

you Oleksii64 wrote everything correctly about the transplant,
I fly Turkish quite often, do you write about the menu in business class?
If you yourself are to blame for having bought tickets from different airlines with a connection in Istanbul, no one will pay for your hotel and the flight will not be delayed, all this is possible if this is one common ticket of one airline

I'm an adult and I don't invent anything in principle for a long time. What are you pestering?) Do I have to prove to you somehow the presence of shrimp? I can, I have a photo, only it does not want to be loaded here. I'll send it to you by mail, if you want?) I rarely take pictures of food, only when I really want to brag. Here was the same case. True, they gave three king prawns, white and red fish, lemon, sauce and fruit. On a night flight Istanbul-Hurghada. Then I kept thinking, why then do they give in business)) do not be offended, just do not write something harsh in response, otherwise I get upset). OK?
