TL;DR
If your city has no direct charters to Sharm El Sheikh, fly from a nearby larger city instead (e.g., locals from Chelyabinsk fly via Kostanay, 350 km away). In Moscow, choose Sheremetyevo airport over Vnukovo or Domodedovo — travelers report fewer delays and closures there.

As of early August, only one airline (Alrosa) flies directly from Chelyabinsk to Sharm El Sheikh, and good seats for popular dates like early December are already sold out. No other carriers currently serve this route, though travelers are hoping new charter options will appear later in the season.
