TL;DR
Travelers recommend booking a scheduled flight after a longer stay in Egypt, as boarding on a charter may be refused. Egypt–Turkey flights are generally scheduled services, while options to Russia mentioned include Nesma, Red Sea, Al Masria, EgyptAir and Aeroflot.
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.
