Is it cheaper to book a Hurghada package holiday and hotel well in advance or last minute?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 5 days ago
TL;DR
Based on traveler reports, Hurghada package holidays are often cheaper when booked well in advance: prices tend to rise closer to departure, while cheaper room categories and charter seats sell out. In high season, your preferred hotel may disappear entirely.

One summer example: in April, the same July package for the same hotel cost 4800$, and later it went up to 5100$. This suggests prices can rise rather than drop as departure gets closer.

There is also an example of booking from autumn for summer: a June package booked in October only became more expensive later. One week before departure, it was about 150k more expensive because cheaper room categories and charter seats were no longer available.

For a November trip, early booking also worked well: the package was bought for 220, and later the same offer was already 250. Travelers note that by high season the price may stay at that level or rise further, and the hotel you want may sell out completely.
