What time before a flight does the hotel transfer pick you up in Hurghada, and how much does it cost?

For a 23:55 flight, the transfer picked up from the hotel at 19:00 — almost 5 hours before departure. Transfer cost was $60, announced to everyone about 2 days before the flight.

On the return flight, suitcases weighing 17.5kg and 17kg went through with no overweight fee, and passengers got a chocolate bar on board.

On a night flight, most passengers slept and didn't want food, but before departure they were given a bag with juice, sandwiches, a pastry, and an orange.

Tip: bring your own tea, sugar, and cups — airport waiting-area prices are high, but staff usually pour free hot water. For a 21:00 departure, food was served about an hour after takeoff, then most passengers slept.

The group transfer from the airport to the hotel took about an hour, with the hotel being the 4th stop on the route. Guests were sent to a late breakfast right away (croissants, latte), while the room was only ready by noon; Wi-Fi had to be requested separately.

An Aeroflot flight arrived on time; guests got their all-inclusive wristbands right away at reception and were sent to breakfast while waiting for check-in.

For a 10:00 flight, the transfer picked up from the hotel at 6:30 — 3.5 hours before departure. At the airport, each passenger got a bag with 2 oranges, 2 sweet buns, and 3 plain buns.
