What to wear and pack for a flight to Hurghada (in-flight comfort tips)

Many passengers complain about uncomfortable seats and little legroom on Hurghada flights, so it's worth choosing a seat with extra legroom in advance.

On board, usually only water is offered, with no other drinks or food — it's a good idea to bring your own snacks.

A handy trick is to change clothes in the plane's restroom about an hour before landing: swap warm pants and sneakers for shorts and flip-flops to step off the plane ready for the heat.

On a May flight to Hurghada, the cabin was so cold that a child needed two pairs of socks and a fleece jacket — pack warm layers even in summer.

On a return flight from Hurghada, passengers were once kept on board for an hour with no air conditioning — it got so stuffy some nearly fainted; bring water and a hand fan just in case.
