How many hours before the return flight should I arrive at the airport in Sharm?
We fly from Coral, UIA carrier. Return flight on Friday at 22:30. You will be picked up from your hotel just before dinner. I want to abandon the usual group transfer with TO and take a taxi to the airport after a hearty dinner (at the all hotel before departure). For a taxi, I’ll probably give about $ 10-15, but for this money at the airport for a family with two hungry teenagers, only a snack with fast food is possible. I did this earlier in Hurghada - everything went perfectly.
Question: how many hours before departure is it reasonable to leave the hotel (old city district) in order to be in time for everything?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

We also prefer to drive to the airport on our own in Hurghada. Registration ends in 45 minutes, starts in 3 hours. The best option is to be at the airport in 1.5-2 hours. Subject to possible baggage checks. Check with local taxi drivers, or in the Careem app, how long it will take to get to the airport from your hotel.

It’s easier with Hurghada, there is a large airport, but in Sharm how lucky - friends have recently returned, so they say the queues were just kapets, so my IMHO is no later than two hours before departure.

In charm there is a moment with control (after registration) one single door and the whole crowd there and then as lucky. It happened that there were not many people, but somehow they got .... a river of people ... it was just tryndets. It seems like you can walk nearby for money without a crowd (I was later told about such an option), but I won’t say it, maybe I didn’t see it myself. Leave, well, I would have left in 3.5 hours. 30 minutes on the road is just right and there is time left for the rest of the procedures.

She did that too. Arrived at Sharma airport in 1 hour 45 minutes. Everyone made it, but back to back. We sat at the back of the plane. We wanted to get a normal breakfast, not a misunderstanding ration. But I would not advise doing so, it is a risk. At least 2 or 2 and a half.

If the hotel has dinner at 18:30, then you can easily have time to have a leisurely dinner and take a taxi and go to the airport. In principle, dinner at 19:00 if you leave for the airport at 19:30
Keep in mind that now is Ramadan and the upcoming holiday, so the first wave of guests from all hotels is about to arrive on Friday 31 May and Saturday 1 June. If you have Friday June 7th, then this is the height of the Eid al-Fitr holiday

God, when will this redneck be eradicated, huh? Author, doesn’t it bother you that you can cut off your bracelets at 12.00? And what will your eternally hungry two teenagers do before departure? Take canned food and dry sausage with you so that you have something to feed them, otherwise you never know, God forbid, they will swell from hunger. Yes, we will not become Europe soon ....

zolyshka111, thanks for your valuable advice, I will take them into service.
At the hotel, dinner seems to be from 18:30. Based on all of the above, I think just 3-3.5 hours before departure, we can perfectly take a taxi.
Thanks to everyone for the comments and advice.

Zolyshka111 :))) I was very amused by your answer! Well, besides the fact that it’s just nice to have a normal breakfast at the hotel and drive to the airport comfortably in an air-conditioned Toyota, instead of leaving at 6 am with check-ins in other hotels and even in lured shops where guides have interest! In addition, some people, for medical reasons, need a normal hot breakfast, but imagine that there are such people too.

Marsyanchik, I'm glad that I amused you in the morning. About medical indications, this is generally bypassed, if you had a flight at two in the morning, then you would not remember about a hot breakfast. My comment was about flying at the tail of the plane.

ninank29, Of course, take it into service, the advice is free. Of course, 3 hours before departure, you can leave without problems by taxi. The main thing is to eat a hearty meal, they don’t feed you on board. And even better, collect food from the hotel in the vessels, because teenagers will want to eat on the plane, that's for sure. Life hack, collect brakes so that the hotel staff do not see, otherwise they will scold you. Have a great holiday.

So calmly dine at the hotel, the main thing is to correctly calculate the time of departure. This is generally such a scoop, to consider all goons hungry, who do not agree to walk in formation and march to the music of the tour operator ...! And by the way, I always pay for a late check-out, this means that "they can cut off bracelets at 12". I don't see it as a sensation at all.

Marsyanchik, the scoop is just to assume that if you have a late flight, then the hotel owes you everything until departure. And in general, our tourists like to buy a ticket for three kopecks, and want to relax for a whole hryvnia. And what does the tour operator have to do with the hotel?
Well, the fact that you pay for a late flight is, as they say, not tossing bags. On the forum, everyone is white and fluffy, but in fact it’s a shame for vacationers on vacation.

On the leading question, what is the best time to get to Borispol airport from the central bus station in Kyiv, tourists from Belarus, a tour from Kyiv, to Kyiv and back by bus
Perhaps this is the essence of the matter to have time to have dinner before a long journey.

Vika284, You are right - it will take us a long time to get home from Kyiv (railway or car - options are possible).And I'm not going to overeat the hotel "for free." T.K. check-out late, extending the room until the evening also includes meals during the day (IMHO).
The question was precisely in the time required for registration and other procedures at the airport of Sharma.
I heard the answers and opinions, thanks again to everyone.

"Return flight on Friday at 22:30."
Check-out from the room takes place at 12:00. Until 18:00 - 18:20 (when the transfer bus arrives) will you have to not only have dinner, but also dine on the "ball"?

Typically $40 (per room) for "late check out". For a large family, this is normal. Pay ... and go use everything to the fullest.
No, they sit down in the morning on their suitcases in the hall and scurry back and forth until night. "CEEurope" ...

The impression that everyone has forgotten how to read.
The girl has already answered that she is extending the room for her family and pays for the stay at the hotel, including lunch and dinner - there are no freebies or "balls" here. And they don’t go on a group transfer, they will go by taxi.
It is important for them to get to dinner, because after arriving in Kyiv they will still need to get to Belarus.

The most normal time to check out is 2.5 - 3 hours before departure. The taxi will drive quickly, but keep in mind that the influx of tourists is large, all luggage checks, photographing, passing checks take a lot of time. Do not spare a chocolate bar to an airport worker - you are guaranteed good places.
Have a good rest and flight!

Yes, I saw. The penultimate answer (it was not). So it will be more correct. If the transfer is individual (taxi), then they will have time to have dinner .. You have to be at the airport in 2 hours ... plus or minus 15 minutes ..
Too often there are these discussions on the "late check-out", from this and such an emotional reaction ... you have to be more tolerant (I tell myself this).

vezha2, to be honest, I have never seen (I fly a lot and in different directions) that they would stick chocolates or some other present at registration .... I'm sure that the quality of places does not depend on this at all. I had never asked about the distribution of seats before, but on the last trip, when registering, and the phrase "here is your block of seats" (we were a little late and were practically in the tail with two children), I asked and they answered me that the composition of passengers is known and the program distributes in advance passengers based on the declared number, which would be as convenient as possible. We got seats in the 7th row.

I also fly a lot, I know well that places are booked for a group from a specific tour operator and the program distributes these places. But... every rule has inclusions.

Be at the airport 2 hours before departure! The inspection was very long. Women are examined only by a woman, and she was alone, just imagine what a queue!!! After the inspection, you need to fill out the cards that are given at registration, this is also the time. We managed to drop into a burger place - a small burger, a bag of fries and 1 glass of cola at the airport - $ 11. The queue at Dutty Free is crazy. And that's it... There is no time. And we were far from the last to register.

In March of this year, we flew from Sharm. Registration of all formalities took about 2.5 hours. A very long personal search (mothers with small children strove to break in out of turn - I'm the Mother)) and stood at the last control for a long time (scanning prints). because the program "hangs" periodically.
