Can international travelers fly out of Hurghada on EgyptAir after staying in Egypt, and are these flights regular or charter?

One tip shared: to avoid issues with the Hurghada flight, travelers can route through Cairo instead — from there it's a guaranteed scheduled flight, and the return leg can also be a scheduled flight from any airport.

One recent case involves EgyptAir swapping the aircraft on this route from an Airbus to a Boeing with roughly half the seats. This has caused weeks of issues, including passengers losing booked business-class seats or being downgraded to economy.

Most recent report: some passengers had booking database issues — travel documents were not sent, and hotel bookings were missing in the system. When EgyptAir ran out of seats, travelers were moved to the next day and rebooked onto AlMasria.

According to traveler experience, EgyptAir on this route is treated as a scheduled service. It was compared not to a classic charter, but to a regular flight where a tour operator may hold a seat block.

Earlier discussion suggested that some seats may be sold as a charter block. That is why travelers asked whether they could still depart after staying in Egypt on this airline — and the discussion indicates that EgyptAir is not operating here as a pure charter.
