Can travelers leave Egypt for Russia or Turkey on a charter flight after an extended stay in Sharm El Sheikh?

For departure after an extended stay, the recommendation is to use a scheduled flight, since travelers report that boarding can be denied on a charter. If a flight’s status is unclear, booking through a ticket agent is suggested.

For Turkey, the discussions say there are no charter departures from Egypt; flights operate as scheduled services, so the charter-versus-scheduled issue should not arise.

For Russia, the scheduled-flight options named are Nesma, Red Sea, Al Masria, EgyptAir and Aeroflot. Check the actual operating status, as some booking sites may label a scheduled flight with charter inventory as a charter.
