Hurghada International Airport in a nutshell
The popular airport for Red Sea holidaymakers is the second busiest in Egypt after Cairo and one of the largest in Africa.
Charter flights from Europe account for the vast majority of traffic, supplemented by domestic flights to Cairo and a few connections to the Middle East.
The Egyptian charter company Air Cairo has its main base at the airport.

does anyone know... supposedly there are already more favourable departure times from Prague for Egypt with a travel agency than at 1 am? But then a week's holiday in the resort is basically shortened by 2 days. Somehow I only found Smartwings at 1am on the airport pages... Does anyone have any experience?
Yes, Skyline is casting for Blue style. For example, today 12:50.
I don't mind, but dragging a kid to the airport at 1am is an insult
There is no reason why leave should be cut short. A plane doesn't travel in time :) so it always arrives at the same time 7 days later, no matter what time of day it arrives.
In my opinion, it's a much better time when you arrive at the ready rooms and you don't have to wait until 14hrs from 8am to be assigned a room. Likewise, you don't have to check out at 4am, but like a normal person after breakfast :)

Hi, I fly from Hurghada with wizzair.com. Is it possible to have a normal on line mobile check in without going to the counter (I only have carry on) or having a printed ticket? I didn't find on the wizz www that this airport is in the exceptions regarding online check in (like Agadir or Marrakech). Thanks for your experience regarding the departure process.
check in online, but you have to go to the counter to get your boarding pass
Thank you for your reply. And another question: do they check the carry on size at the counter?
