TL;DR
Yes, mixing is allowed: if you arrived on a charter flight, you can depart either on a charter or a scheduled (regular) flight from Hurghada — there's no rule requiring the same flight type both ways.
One traveler said they only fly with trusted carriers like Aeroflot and one other familiar airline, avoiding lesser-known charter operators due to service concerns.
Charter airlines essentially operate similarly to Aeroflot, except they make a refueling stop en route, which can slightly increase total travel time.
On domestic Russian flights (e.g. Aeroflot), alcohol usually isn't served onboard, unlike on international charter flights to Egypt.
Confirmed: if you arrive in Hurghada on a charter flight, you can depart on either a charter or a scheduled flight — there's no strict requirement to match the departure type to the arrival type.
One traveler insists charter flights are perfectly normal, take roughly the same travel time as scheduled flights, and they always fly charter to Hurghada.
One traveler was initially confused, assuming that arriving on a scheduled flight meant departure also had to be scheduled — but this turned out to be incorrect.
