Can you enter Egypt on a charter flight and leave on a scheduled flight (or vice versa)?

A different view from the same July 2026: if you arrive on a scheduled flight, you can leave on any flight as long as you stay within the permitted period. The participant added a nuance: sometimes a block of seats on a scheduled flight is bought up and sold as a charter, yet the flight itself remains scheduled; you can tell which it is by the flight number and letter code.

On practice (July 2026): according to one participant, the rule exists, but if you do not change your arrival and departure airport, nobody checks. This is one participant's experience, so check the conditions with the carrier before buying tickets.

How the options differ in practice (July–August 2026): participants consider the national carrier's scheduled flights more reliable — the schedule can shift, but, in their words, scheduled flights are let out of the airport first, ahead of charters. Charter tickets, as one participant wrote in August, are sent a day before departure and may show a different time, with no compensation for that change, since it is not treated as a delay. Participants also noted that a direct flight can be either charter or scheduled — it is not a separate flight type.

The strict view (July 2026): one participant wrote that if you arrive on a scheduled flight, you cannot leave on a charter regardless of the length of stay. Whether a flight counts as scheduled or charter, in their words, is judged by the flight number, not by the airline. This is one participant's view, not an official clarification.
