Arrival: Sharm El Sheikh International Airport (SSH) and getting into Sharm El Sheikh

Sharm El Sheikh sits at the southern tip of Sinai where the Gulf of Aqaba meets the Red Sea, with the airport (SSH) about 10 km from Naama Bay and 18 km from the old town, the reefs of Ras Mohammed to the south and the bays of Nabq and Shark's Bay stretching north. We provide airport transfers in Sharm El Sheikh with a driver at arrivals, and we also tell you honestly if the train or metro from the airport is the better choice for where you are staying.

Arriving late at night? We note it and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the flight; a delay costs you nothing.

Best time to fly from Istanbul to Sharm El Sheikh

Flights from Istanbul to Sharm El Sheikh run all year, 2-4 a day. Warm all year with hot summers; the airport is busiest in the European winter and around Eid holidays, when the Naama Bay road is slow in the evening. If you can travel outside those weeks the same seat costs less and the airports are quieter. Whatever the month, early booking is the single biggest saving.

How much is a flight from Istanbul to Sharm El Sheikh?

"How much is the Istanbul to Sharm El Sheikh flight?" is the question we get most, and the honest answer is that it moves every day. Low fares open months ahead and disappear as seats sell; peak seasons, school holidays and the most convenient departure times cost more; a fare with a checked bag and a flexible ticket cost more than a hand-luggage-only seat. Haqqi Tours can provide the current cost for the date you travel within minutes of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.

What the price we send includes: the ticket in the fare class you chose, the taxes and airport charges, the baggage that fare carries, and our service - comparing the airlines, booking, sending the electronic ticket and helping if the flight changes. We tell you clearly if a bag or a seat costs extra on that fare.

• Ask about infant and child fares and about group bookings for four or more
• Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays
• Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are typically cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which frequently carry the lowest fares

When you complete the form, mention if you can move your dates. We scan the fares around them and send the cheapest Istanbul to Sharm El Sheikh flight first, then the alternatives.
