When do direct flights to Hurghada go on sale and how far in advance should you book?

In late July Aeroflot held a two-day flash sale with discounts up to 50% on direct economy-class flights, including international destinations. Sale fares covered travel from August 20 through late March next year, and round-trip tickets were cheaper than one-way.

Even a week before a June departure, no direct Hurghada flights were left for the traveler's dates — only connecting flights were available. The situation was the same 1-2 days before departure: all direct tickets were sold out.

Ticket sales for the Hurghada summer season typically open well in advance, though exact dates vary by year — travelers advise following airline announcements closely so as not to miss the sales opening.
