When do flight prices to Hurghada usually drop before departure, and can package trips combine a scheduled outbound flight with a charter return?

According to the latest traveler observations, the usual price-drop pattern applies mainly when departure is within 30 days, which is when better Hurghada fares are more likely to appear.

Tour operators do sometimes sell mixed-flight packages, for example outbound on Aeroflot and return on an AlMasria charter, so this kind of combination is possible.

Based on traveler reports, the most noticeable airfare drops usually happen about 3–6 weeks before departure. Many people watch that window to rebook or buy flights at a lower price.

If you have already picked a flight, short delays are described as fairly normal, typically around 15–30 minutes. Longer delays appear to be less common and linked to specific operational issues.
