Easiest flights to Hurghada from Europe?

[ojo]

Hi! I just booked my cheap flight on the new Norse Air (fingers crossed) from Los Angeles to Berlin, looking
to get to Hurghada. Flights from Berlin don't synch up, are on awful airlines, etc., and I'm wondering where the quickest,
easiest, and cheapest jumping-off place is in Europe to get to Hurghada. Thanks!

Check with Turkish airlines, Lufthansa or Swiss.

Whatever you do, do NOT go through Cairo.

Can't say better.

We found the easiest way from JFK to Hurghada was Turkish Air with 1 stop in Istanbul, about 17 hr total travel time. But last night I got an email saying they were changing the departure time of the Hur to IST flight. They didn’t mention it would now arrive one hour AFTER the flight to JFK leaves! We are currently trying to find seats on the next flights to JFK. But in theory Turkish Air was a lot more convenient for us then anything going to/from Hurghada via Cairo. YMMV

I would think Turkish Air would have flights from Berlin to Istanbul that could link up with the Hurghada flights.

Wouldn't that be nice. They dont. Thanks, and good luck with connections.

I am willing to go to another European city to get to Hurghada, in case I didn't make that clear. That could be a fun detour. I love the speedy responses, thank you!

What's the story with the Cairo airport? Busy? Disorganized? Baggage loss?

Yes, and a lot more.

Or rather they do, but that's a huge detour.
