Very crowded flight. Staff brought refreshments regularly and the food was surprisingly good. But checking was very slow and they allowed way too many people with large suitcases on board making onboarding and off-boarding very slow and chaotic.

The gateway to Egypt’s most popular holiday resorts, Sharm El Sheikh Airport, also known as Ophira Airport, is very busy during holiday season, when budget carriers like bmi and Thomas Cook bring hundreds of thousands of holidaymakers from Europe to the resorts of Sharm El Sheikh Airport and Dahab.
The airport has gradually been modernised over the past decade, with the modern Terminal 2 building absorbing much of the old Terminal 1 building’s traffic. Although there are steady complaints about luggage theft and dirty facilities, the small airport manages to process more than seven million passengers a year, making it Egypt’s second-busiest airport, just behind Cairo.
