Tourists from Kaliningrad will have a greater choice to relax in summer in warm countries. At the beginning of the year, it was announced that charters to Antalya, Turkey, would resume in the spring, and recently it became known that flights from Khrabrovo to Egypt would soon appear.
Charters to Sharm el Sheikh were delivered by the tour operator Coral Travel, flights will be operated once every 10 days on the liners of the Egyptian carrier AlMasria (the airline has 6 aircraft at its disposal: A320 and A330, as well as 737 Boeing). The first flight will take place on April 3, the journey time is about 5 hours. The price of an all-inclusive holiday in a three-star hotel for two starts from 118,281 rubles for 10 nights. For the “four” you will have to pay in April from 124,377 rubles (Sharm Bride Aqua Resort & Spa) to 140,634 rubles (Sharm Reef).
Meanwhile, the main intrigue is whether there will be enough tourists in the 500,000-strong Kaliningrad to download two programs at once – Egyptian and Turkish. Flights to Antalya, as previously reported, will begin on April 26, three tour operators – Pegas, Coral Travel and Anex – have taken blocks on Southwind charters. The frequency of flights is 5 times a week. Kaliningrad has not had the most successful experience with Egypt. In December 2022, Pegas Touristik launched charters on the Red Sea coast on Southwind Airlines aircraft. However, only one flight took place, after which the program was curtailed, as explained by the general director of the tour operator Anna Podgornaya, due to low demand.
Perhaps the frequency of loading Egypt will help – only two or three flights a month. It is possible that prices will play a role – holidays in Turkey are more expensive. For example, in May, tours to Kemer Paradise 3* with departure from Kaliningrad will cost 115-130 thousand rubles for two for 7 nights, for a week at the four-star Aska Bayview Resort in Alanya you will have to pay 120-135 thousand rubles. In Egypt, for similar amounts, you can relax for 3 days more. “It’s great that the Egyptian flight was delivered, positive news, but there is no 100 percent certainty that it will load,” commented TourDom.ru the head of the Kaliningrad travel agency “Anyuta” Altynbek Kozhakhmetov. – The run-up time is small, it would be better if this program began to be announced in December-January.” However, the fact that tours are sold for April and May, a time when Turkey is not so popular with tourists, may play in Egypt’s favor.
We recently wrote that the average check for tours to Egypt in the spring months is 163-192 thousand rubles. (with departure from Moscow). However, more economical options can be found. If you choose the beginning of the first spring month, then an all-inclusive tour to the “five” for a week can actually be purchased for 111 300 rubles for two.
