Tell me - Pegasus on the site puts flights from 26.02.
Uv.forumchane, tell me - Pegasus on the site puts flights from 26.02. We had a paid tour to Sharm with a departure on 27.02. They wrote a refusal, but the money has not yet been returned. I really want to fly, but is it worth the risk? How will the food be there?

Pegasus is scheduling departures from Domodedovo for this Saturday, although there has been no confirmation from the Foreign Ministry yet. On the 17th there will be a meeting at the Foreign Ministry, everything will become clear. Maybe Pegasus already know?

I think it is not reasonable to take risks in the matter of your safety and the safety of your loved ones. Pegasus has a departure from 19.02, all prices are active for booking, somehow strange. But Tez.tour gives its tourists the right to choose, either cancellation of the contract and a refund, or rebooking to another country during 2011. Well done!!! They have a flight to Egypt approximately from 05.03, and it all depends on the situation in the country.

Thanks for answers!
We are from Ukraine, our flights start only on February 26th. According to the news, everything seems to be calming down in Egypt (in any case, I want to console myself with this), guides with posters invite tourists to the country.
In general, what do you think, if we still refuse and take the money, is it worth hoping for last-minute trips or price reductions in the future? After all, according to the logic of things, prices should now be small in order to attract tourists back.
For our hotel at the end of March for 4 people, the price is already almost 1000 USD more than in February (((

Wow ... I looked at the Tez Tour website - the prices for April have not changed at all from Volgograd, yet ... And if you compare prices for February and March-April, then the prices will be correspondingly higher, maybe in February, not the season. The travel agency said that the operators have not changed prices yet, they are "pre-war". Need to wait a little

Royal Rodzhana 5*, 3 adults + 1 child, departure from Donetsk.

The fact of the matter is that the price is rather high, and the quality of service and, first of all, safety is in question ..

Meanwhile, the losses of the Egyptian economy from the decline in tourist flow amount to about a billion dollars. According to the director of the tourism department of the Egyptian Embassy, Nahed Nazmi Ayad Khanna, the country's tourism ministry is ready to consider the possibility of paying compensation to operators for organizing charter flights. She recalled that such compensation is still received by operators organizing flights to the new Egyptian resort of Marsa Alam. “Egyptian hotels will also be ready to receive tourists at very low prices to restore demand,” an embassy representative told RIA Novosti.

Please note, COMPENSATIONS ARE ALREADY RECEIVED BY OPERATORS ORGANIZING FLIGHTS TO MARS ALAM,
and our maintenance for these flights is more expensive than to Hurghada. So, all the subsidies of the Egyptians will go into the pocket of TO, and not tourists (((

Our TOs are in no hurry to start charter flights, they expect to make big money. They will wait for significant discounts on hotel reservations and raise prices for tours. Because the demand for Egypt still remains high. By the way, the Russian Foreign Ministry did not call on our citizens to leave Egypt and did not announce travel bans. Not recommended - yes, and only. The Union of Insurance Companies of the Russian Federation did not recognize these events as force majeure or an insured event at all. TO did not receive money from them to compensate tourists. And about the tourists themselves, i.e. about those people on whose money all these guys are counting, while none of them thinks. It turns out that we need to think for ourselves and calculate how it is more profitable to go on vacation: on a ticket or on our own? Interesting even...

Those. You think TO are masochists. On their own initiative, they stopped the charter program and gladly suffered serious losses.
Three weeks ago, here on the forum, everyone was shouting - what a horror, tourists are being sent to the slaughter.
You alrmin77 wrote - "In Russia they put everyone in a corner, like" Do not go to Africa for children to walk!. etc.
And now TO is to blame.
And they, by the way, were threatened with the criminal community. I know how difficult it was to make the decision to stop flights. These are very serious losses.

We know what losses. To everyone who could pay twice as much, they sold Thailand and the United Arab Emirates, having previously raised their prices. Another part sold Turkey in the off-season (where few people would go in their right mind and sober memory at that time). Part of the money was frozen on deposit (How much we pay for a loan at a bank - and so they gave interest TO).
TAs are happy - less work (it's easier to sell one ticket more expensive than three cheaper ones) - the income is the same or more. And these are not my dirty insinuations - these are from the lips of representatives of the tourist industry. Only those who traded with Egypt alone suffered. A lot of those?

The Foreign Ministry may not have called on our tourists to leave Egypt and did not announce travel bans to this country. But there is another structure, which, by the way, is much closer to this topic - the Ministry of Sports and Tourism of Russia. It's written in black and white on their official website.

I quote Rostourism -
January 29:
4. Recommend to tour operators, travel agents (their associations):
- from January 29, 2011, to suspend the sending of Russian tourists to Egypt for the period of the existence of a security threat (until the situation normalizes);
January 30
2. In accordance with Part 5 of Article 7 of the Law of the Russian Federation of February 7, 1992 No. 2300-1 “On Protection of Consumer Rights”, the contractor is obliged to suspend, withdraw, or withdraw the service from production if such a service causes or may cause harm to life, health and consumer property.
Thus, the provision of services for the organization of travel of Russian tourists to Egypt in the face of a security threat, according to the Ministry of Sports and Tourism of Russia and Rostourism, is a gross violation of the legislation of the Russian Federation and entails the application of legal liability measures to the perpetrators.
01 February
In connection with the aggravation of the situation in the Arab Republic of Egypt (hereinafter referred to as Egypt), the Federal Tourism Agency re-warns tour operators and travel agents about the need to immediately stop selling tours to Egypt, as well as sending tourists on trips to this country under previously concluded agreements

Regarding TO losses:
1. If someone believes that deposits are profits and lie on TO accounts, then he is mistaken. This money paid for air transportation, hotel accommodation, staff salaries in Enigt, office rent, etc. Dozens of flights flew empty in one direction. Hotels do not refund money - there was no official closure of Egypt. Etc. etc.
2. 5% of Egyptian tourists flew to Turkey. There are no additional flights to Thailand and the UAE.
3. TA rejoice - sales have fallen ten times. And you have to pay wages and rent.
Nothing, we'll recoup in March-April. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

12.02.2011 "VESTI: In the Association of Tour Operators of Russia ... I applied to the Federal Tourism Agency and the Ministry of Sports and Tourism for an explanation of how soon it will be possible to lift restrictions on travel to Egypt ..."

In 5 days!!!:
February 17 - RIA Novosti. "... Deputy Minister of Sports, Tourism and Youth Policy of the Russian Federation Nadezhda Nazina ..." I talked with First Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Denisov. They are working on the issue...
http://www.rian.ru/tourism/20110217/335212111.html
It seems that everyone is somewhere and with someone conferring. Time passes, but there is no solution. But there are more and more vague explanations - "imitation of violent activity." The names of all these organizers are serious, but there is objectively little practical benefit from them.
