TL;DR
When departing from Hurghada, you can usually pre-book airport assistance for a wheelchair user or passenger with limited mobility, and bringing your own food on the plane is generally allowed. If your flight is rescheduled, first contact your tour operator or check the airline’s website; on package tours, extra accommodation may be covered if the departure is moved later.
If your flight from Hurghada is rescheduled, the fastest step is to contact the tour operator you booked with. You should also confirm the updated departure time on the airline’s official website. If a package-tour flight is moved, for example to Moscow, the extra hotel stay before departure is often handled by the tour operator.
Passengers commonly bring their own food when flying out of Egypt and on flights to Russia. This is especially useful if your hotel transfer from Hurghada leaves very early, if you expect a long wait at the airport, or if your airline only serves water and no full meal onboard.
For a wheelchair user or anyone with limited mobility, you can pre-arrange airport assistance. Staff typically meet the passenger at the terminal or check-in, help through the airport process, and escort them to the aircraft or transfer; it can also make it easier to get a more suitable seat.
