It is difficult to find a cheaper tourist destination than the resorts of Egypt. And if you buy a last minute ticket to Egypt, then a trip for two to the country of pyramids, mummies and the most beautiful sea in the world will cost you less than a trip to a boarding house in a neighboring city.
Instructions
Step 1
Decide on a destination if you prefer a specific resort in Egypt. The most popular resorts are Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh. It is easiest to buy a last-minute ticket there at a “tasty” price. Sharm el-Sheikh may be slightly more expensive than Hurghada, because the hotels there are mostly newer and more fashionable.
Step 2
Look at the websites of tour operators how much the usual vouchers to your preferred resort cost. The most popular tour operators are Pegas Turistik, Teztour and Coral Travel. Please note that the price will vary depending on the number of stars in the hotel and the service system. If a voucher, bought a month before the trip, costs 30,000 rubles, then a last-minute ticket to the same hotel can be bought for 15,000 rubles. Sometimes hotels hold promotions and reduce the cost of accommodation, which also significantly affects the final cost of the tour.
Step 3
Start tracking prices for your tour of the week two weeks before your estimated departure date. Often the price drops gradually. Two days or a day before departure, it will reach its minimum mark. But there is a danger that someone will be more agile than you and will redeem the burning ticket faster. Therefore, if you want to get to a certain hotel, you should not risk and wait for the last day.
Step 4
Look on the websites of travel agencies in your city for "last minute deals" if you want to go to rest no later than tomorrow. Travel agencies buy tours from operators. And if for some reason the client abandoned the trip a couple of days before departure, it is more profitable for them to sell the ticket at a reduced price than to lose all the money. But you will no longer be able to choose from the many options. The main thing is to have time to buy a ticket before you are overtaken by other people who want to relax at a cheaper price.
Step 5
Register on sites that specialize only in last minute deals, for example "Chiptrip". Several times a day there appears information about last minute vouchers to any country in the world, including Egypt. But such companies have one significant drawback: their offices are located in Moscow or St. Petersburg, and to book a tour, you need to drive up to the office in person, with money and documents. If you live several thousand kilometers from Moscow, it will be difficult to do this.
