Are charter flights on package tours to Sharm El Sheikh reliable, or do they get delayed and cancelled often?

Travel agents do not control aircraft assignments or departure times; charter schedules depend on the airline. A schedule change should therefore not automatically be attributed to the travel agent or tour operator.

Airlines are legally allowed to reschedule charter flights with about 24 hours' notice — there was a case where a return flight was pushed nearly a full day later. Package tour travelers got a hotel provided for the extra night, while independent (non-package) travelers had to find and pay for their own accommodation.

In July there were real cases of a charter flight cancellation on the Novosibirsk - Shymkent - Sharm El Sheikh route (tour by One Click Travel). The July 17 departure was cancelled, with rebooking offered for July 21 or 24 — travelers chose July 21 and lost one hotel night. Tip: if your dates aren't flexible, think twice before booking a tour with connecting charter flights.

When booking directly through Biblio Globus, the system often shows inconvenient departure/arrival times by default. This is intentional — it's designed to make travelers pay extra for 'flight specification', which then unlocks a choice of 5-7 more convenient flight options.
