TL;DR
Travelers report that refunds for cancelled Hurghada package holidays depend on the contract and any operator deductions, so a full refund is not guaranteed. Additional compensation may be pursued in court, but the process can take a long time.
Check the tour operator’s contract before cancelling: one traveler notes that refunds may follow the contract’s stated rules rather than automatically covering the entire amount.
Do not assume a full package-holiday refund is guaranteed: one report says the tour operator or financial protection arrangement may deduct part of the amount.
If seeking compensation beyond the refund, such as for emotional distress, you may need to substantiate the claim in court; the discussion mentions up to RUB 50,000 as a possible figure, with no guarantee of success.
Legal action for an additional payment can be prolonged: contributors warn that the process may require substantial time and effort.
