ollennka, about the "direct" flights through Antalya - you are talking about something incomprehensible here. There are no direct charters from Russia. There are two options for package tours from Russian TOs: through Cairo and through Antalya.

elena_igo The prices for October are quite possibly set according to the principle, money is needed a lot, maybe someone will buy it, but I'm not a fanatical fan of Sharma and in October I prefer Hurghada.
аватар elena_igo
In Hurghada in October 2018, they took Titanic Palace for 11 nights just at a ridiculous price of just over $ 500 for four (1 adult + 3 children) for All.
True, it was an early booking, but still. Now there are no such prices

elena_igo, ollennka is an experienced broker) and just made fun of the "direct flight" account
I did not meet extreme people making their way through Cairo. Crossed him off the list as a complete BDSM.

Yes, it’s just that people poured into Yega, even ours started flying without exception, I have a sister and family who never rested further than Crimea, and after the last years of visiting Zatoka with its crazy prices + round-trip road, they counted and bought a tour to Hurghada at the end of April 2 adults + 2 children. And so I think the majority moved.
Recently I watched a video blogger from an excursion to Luxor, crowds roam there, and this is in the off-season February, I remember, the last time I went there was in 2015, so it was almost empty of tourists and a crowd of merchants three per tourist.
Regarding prices, I agree they went up, in December for a week in the hotel they wanted to fly to, they asked 900-950 against last year's 550-600, flew to the second line for 700, which cost 500 a year ago. I generally keep quiet about expensive hotels, acquaintances just flew to the Sultan for 10 days 2b + 1r for 1800 USD, which in my case, I would have chosen a different direction for this money, I agree that it’s not all and not 5 *, maybe 2 * and on my own + food his own, but to a country more exotic ..
аватар elena_igo
Of course, for adult travelers, the country is more exotic and more interesting, and a hotel "for sleeping" is quite acceptable, but for families with small children, Turkey and Egypt on an all-inclusive basis are an undisputed favorite.
Well, that is, I would not advise you to fly with children to India, Thailand, Sri Lanka in a 2-3 * hotel for sure.
аватар ollennka
elena_igo, at least you would read the history of the answers first, and then comment. I didn't write about direct flights.
аватар elena_igo
ollennka, I apologize!) you just shouted capslock so much that it was your post that immediately caught my eye. but, everything seems to have cleared up - the world?
аватар Alex714
elena_igo I, it seems, made an amendment “in my case” (c), it’s a no brainer that it’s one torment to relax with children in distant resorts, starting from a flight, which is not easy for an adult, and flying to such a distance just for the sake of the beach is clear that it’s not worth it. I just emphasized that more than 1 kue for Egu in the winter for a week my hand will not rise, since the mythical seafood is on the hotel menu, I will eat in the city for the price difference of tours, how much the soul will require, and a normal 4 * room does not differ much from 5 *, the main thing is that there is a bed.
аватар elena_igo
Alex, why did you take my words personally? - I don’t argue with you
аватар elena_igo
Here we are talking about the fact that Egi has risen in price both strongly and unjustifiably, and in general the question arises to go or not to go. There are few alternatives, yes.
For me personally, it is the sea that is attractive, plus the situation with children with whom it is far and there is no need to drag somewhere.
Again, if we consider Egi as a resort for families with children, then the situation with unsanitary conditions, both in terms of food and in terms of cleaning, leaves much to be desired.

I, too, didn’t expect to catch Albatross (Hurghada) 12 nights from 20.04 2 + 2 (6 and 12 years old) for 1840 ye .... departure from Kyiv, and from Kharkov Albatross in Sharm is now the cheapest option 2737 for 12 nights 2+2 ...wow....from Kyiv now 2438....that's just because of the children.tk they love the red sea and ask to go to Egypt...and because 1840 is very acceptable for a quality hotel, but 2700 .... I definitely wouldn’t go already ... you can safely look at tickets to other countries, and by self-tour ... even if not ALL, but the same Montenegro - and nearby and without visas and calmly buy tickets for a chatrera (now I looked at the options from 80 euros one way for 1 person ...) Housing there is a shaft, I know the area, choose a quieter district, and go ahead.

========
And if you read even more carefully, then it says "TYPE direct flight", which means a package
I really pissed you off.)

Oh, well, they found a topic for the Svetsky srach)))

klichko, I am touched by all of you here. You take everything so seriously. And you heroically excuse someone from something ... Smile, gentlemen, smile, the site is entertaining.

Why such conclusions? I read from the phone, banal sclerosis didn’t let me enter passwords.
Many thanks for the answers. I agree with the theory about demand, there have been enough propositions in recent years, now more people have fallen, and taking the opportunity, they raised prices. I scrolled through Google news on this topic - they say that in comparison with 2017, in 2018, Russians have increased by 54%. Another article caught my eye that the Egyptian minister seems to be going to build a wall around Sharm :)
For myself and my husband, we concluded that for now we’ll get greedy for Egypt :) we’ll collect coins and next winter we’ll dump them for 3 weeks in Sri Lanka, not in a package
аватар klichko
in comparison with 2017, in 2018 there were 54% more Russians
============
Out of more than 8 million 145 thousand. 1.5%. Hooray, comrades
Sharm was captured by the Ukrainians. In Hurgadinsk, the explosive growth of the euro tourist. Self-respecting hotels are racing to invest in high-value renovations and greatly increase public catering. In such hotels, you don’t have to wait for a case.

Yes, there are many Germans and British in Hurghada.
As a resident of Samoturov, I would very much like to hope that hotels really invest not only in reconstruction.
For the sake of the colorful sea, we give Egypt advances of trust again and again.
But you can't get the words out of the song - the British also die in Steigenberger Aqua Magic in August and January... maybe a drop on the barrel, but it's painfully strange circumstances.
That's just the plus of a package tour - under such emergency circumstances, TO evacuate their tourists.

allsafat Iberotel Palace Hotel 14 and Iberotel Palace Hotel 18 are already two different hotels, and are not a matter of special pride, but this is my personal opinion. As for the rooms, believe me that in 90% of hotels the rooms are of the standard category, and the other, the type of an improved category, in each hotel they are called differently, BUT they differ ONLY IN THE TERRITORIAL LOCATION. a small number of hotels make a description according to the principle: category, footage, the presence of other features. In these hotels, the rooms really differ. In other hotels, the category is increased due to the proximity to the sea + slippers and bathrobes can be provided in these rooms, and the minibar cola + fanta is updated free of charge + sprite every 3 days.

Regarding the price increase, last year in February, after a vacation, I went to my travel agent to drink tea and she told me then that we won’t fly so cheap. I didn’t specify the details, but her forecast came true.
аватар dmark
Wait, it's more profitable to buy hot tours like in tenths. Early booking has become more expensive.
аватар allsafat
alla.neshcheretnaya, I have long preferred Hurghada, as I am a terrible lazy person, and I prefer hotels where from the room 50m to the sea and 50m to the restaurant and normal service, although I do fine without disposable slippers and a bathrobe in the room. By the way, it costs me less than Iber or Jazz Phanara, even taking into account the absence of the magic words "sinai only" from which more than 50% of our tourists blow their minds and they are ready to go even to the barn, but without a visa. Well, I don’t like to walk to the sea 500-600m + along the pontoon 150-300m and assume that this is the first line.
аватар dmark
For several years they have been accustomed to early booking formed a stereotype. Buy in a few days.
аватар alla.neshcheretnaya
allsafat, I am also a fan of Hurghada, and all these years I have been resting there, I fly to Sharm recently. I just prefer different hotels, but in Hurghada they have already ended for me, at least for today. Many and better times were not of interest, and many simply lost their appeal after the events of 1515.
I think that now it is very difficult to choose a hotel that does not meet some overestimated requirements, but simply with normal service. Plus, the price must match, this is also an important factor.
аватар alla.neshcheretnaya
Regarding early booking. If you have several hotels as a priority and the rest time is not strictly framed, but there is a departure for at least + - 3 - 5 days, then this will work for a burning tour. They are still present: understaffing flight, a canceled tour is justified, additional loading of the hotel on already purchased rooms under special agreements between the tour operator and the hotel, etc. This is of course a lottery, but with a sufficient number of prizes. In this case, you need to rely not only on a travel agent, but also spend your time and track prices on the sites daily.

In the season in Egypt, I believe, mid-April-mid-May and mid-September, the end of October, there are no last-minute tours to good hotels, they usually increase in price or end up in the STOP. Within four years, prices for hotels of the same chain grow by 200- 400 dollars for half a year. In October 2016, about 800 for two, and for April 2019, 1500, and even then early booking, they caught such a price only now, and have been monitoring since December 2019.

RB if more than two people are flying and specific hotels and dates are considered, and a specific city of departure. This is my case, because the family is large, there is a clear period (of course, it can be shifted up or down by 10 days), but as practice has shown, there is a hotel, but there are no seats on the plane for all of us ... but I always catch in Belarus excellent price and if burning and happens, then the price is not much lower. Yes, and burning when it comes to the season (end of April-May) is not enough for everyone.
