Cheap flights from Warsaw to Hurghada

March is the cheapest month on this route, sitting at the tail of the Egyptian high season when the sea is still warm but the winter crowds have thinned. Fares climb through the Polish summer holidays, Christmas, New Year and the February school break, so book well ahead if your dates land there. Autumn and early winter are the busiest stretch for divers and sun-seekers, and prices stay high from September through the end of the year. Midweek departures are usually gentler than weekend ones, and early-week flights tend to be quieter at both ends.

Low-cost carriers do most of the work here: Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta, Norwegian, Sun Express, Corendon Airlines, Nesma Airlines, Air Cairo and SkyUp MT all fly this market, and direct flights are available. Turkish Airlines and Lufthansa Cityline are the full-service names on the route, and they more often route you through a hub than take you straight to the coast. What is included differs sharply between the two groups, so read the baggage allowance, seat rules and change conditions on the exact fare you pick rather than assuming they match.

The route lands at the airport at Hurghada, the only one serving this stretch of the Red Sea coast. It sits outside the city itself, so plan on a taxi or a pre-booked transfer rather than a walk, and allow more time if your hotel lies further along the coast. Official taxis and hotel shuttles are the usual ways in. Drivers who approach you inside the terminal are best waved on, and it is worth agreeing the fare before you set off. Sort cash and a local SIM at the airport if you need them, since resort areas are thinner on both.
