Cheap flights from London to Hurghada

April is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar covers every month, so you can weigh a spring break against the peak winter-sun season. Winter, from November through February, is the busiest stretch — it lines up with UK school holidays and half-term, so book well ahead if you need fixed dates. Spring and autumn sit in the middle: warm sea, quieter resorts, softer fares. Midweek departures from London usually cost less than weekend ones, and Tuesday and Wednesday flights tend to be the calmest. If your dates are flexible, let the calendar lead and pick the month rather than the day.

The airline mix here is mostly low-cost: Wizz Air UK, Wizz Air, Wizz Air Malta, Easyjet, Jet2, Norwegian, Sun Express and Ajet all fly it, which keeps fares competitive and gives you a choice of departure airports in London. Pegasus and Air France are the full-service names in the list, and their tickets are built differently, so they are worth a look if you want a longer journey on a single booking. Low-cost fares on this route usually sell as a seat plus a small cabin bag, with everything else added during booking, so compare the total rather than the headline figure. Direct flights do exist, so filter for nonstop if a stop would eat into a short break.

Hurghada has a single airport, so there is no terminal puzzle to solve — every flight from London lands at Hurghada International, a short drive from the hotel strip along the coast. Transfers are usually by taxi or a pre-booked shuttle arranged through your hotel or tour operator, and the ride into the main resort areas is brief. Expect the arrivals hall to be busy when several charter flights land at once, and keep some local currency handy for the taxi if you have not booked a transfer in advance. Check that your hotel is actually in Hurghada rather than a neighbouring resort further down the coast, because that changes the drive.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which London airport your fare uses, since the city's airports sit on different sides of town and moving between them takes time.
• Confirm what baggage is included on a low-cost ticket before you pay, because a checked bag changes the total.
• If your booking splits across two airlines, leave a generous gap in case the first leg runs late.
• Make sure your passport is valid for travel to Egypt and check the current entry rules before you fly.
• Book early for winter and school-holiday dates, when demand from the UK is at its highest.
• Compare April with the months either side if you can be flexible, since that is when fares tend to be lowest.
