Can you fly to Hurghada on one airline and return on a different one (mixing regular and charter flights)?
Based on 2 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: 6 days ago
TL;DR
Yes, for a standard trip (under 28 days) you can freely combine a scheduled flight one way with a charter flight the other way — it's not an issue at Egyptian border control. Restrictions mainly apply to stays longer than 28 days.
What the community said
A traveler asked whether it's okay to fly into Hurghada on a scheduled Aeroflot flight from St. Petersburg and return on a Red Sea charter, since some sources online called this risky or against the rules.

Experienced travelers clarified: the rule requiring matching airlines for outbound/return flights mainly applies to stays longer than 28 days (linked to visa and charter tax formalities). For a standard 1-2 week trip, mixing a scheduled flight and a charter is fine.
