Flights to Eygpt?

Hiya, anyone any suggestions on where to look for cheap flights to Eygpt?

I am flying to Hurghada and can go from any London airport or Manchester. Dates need to be from roughly 23rd to 30th October.

I've had a look on SkyScanner but its telling me the prices are unavailable... I'll try again later, but can anyone suggest where else I should be looking?

Thanks

Pete

    I doubt if your going to get cheap flights for the dates you want as its half term holidays.

    Had a look the other day at flights from Mancester to Egypt, was coming out quite expensive for September, not sure about October. Was looking on www.thomsonfly.com

    I am sure Thomson were coming out at over £400pp for the dates they want.

    Yeah it is half-time which is a pain, but is unavoidable :(

    It's looking like I'll have to transfer somewhere in Europe (Brussels probably) and get another flight to Eygpt from there which seems to make things even more expensive!

    Why don't you just go for a late deal on teletext? Even if you didn't wanna stay in a hotel, I've seen some cheap deals for a week under £400. Just use it for the flight :)
  • Hi PeteW,

    You can fly to Hurghada from Manchester or Gatwick with MyTravel, Thomsonfly and Excel. Direct links to airlines from:
