TL;DR
To maximize beach time in Hurghada, look for an overnight flight arriving around 6–7 am or a morning departure around 10–11 am. For the return, an evening flight lets you keep most of your final resort day.
On some dates, only overnight flights may still be available, which can be less convenient when traveling with children. Check for daytime or morning alternatives before booking.
If airline choice matters, monitor Aeroflot’s Hurghada schedule: additional flights were expected to be added.
A practical option is an overnight departure, allowing you to sleep on the plane and arrive in Hurghada around 6–7 am. This can leave most of arrival day free for the resort.
As an alternative to flying overnight, departures at roughly 10–11 am were considered more comfortable for travelers who prefer not to take a night flight.
To avoid losing resort time, choose a flight arriving in the morning and an evening return flight. This schedule can leave nearly the entire final day free by the sea.
