Sharm el-Sheikh airport admits passengers about 3 hours before departure, but a shared hotel transfer may collect guests 4 hours ahead because it makes stops at multiple hotels. In this example, Sierra was among the first pickups.

If checkout is at 12:00, the transfer bus may arrive 3 hours before departure — for example, for a 9:30–10:30 flight, pickup would be at 6:30–7:30. The previous day remains a full day.
Departure ~9:30–10:30 → pickup at 6:30–7:30
Pickup time depends on the hotel route and can differ even for the same flight. For example, a 16:15 departure had a 12:00 pickup one day and a 12:30 pickup the next day.
Flight 16:15 → pickup at 12:00–12:30
A 23:00 departure from Sharm el-Sheikh arrives around 04:00 the next morning — the night is spent in the air. Worth factoring in when planning your hotel checkout and transfer timing.
Departure 23:00 → arrival 04:00
Return flight times can change — tour operators send notifications. For instance, a St. Petersburg flight was rescheduled from 08:00 to 11:30, which directly affects the hotel pickup time.
Flight rescheduled: 08:00 → 11:30
