The Egyptian pyramids came closer to Hungary: new Wizz Air flights

The Hungarian low-cost airline is continuously expanding in the Middle East, Africa and Asia and the new flights perfectly fit into that pattern. From mid-October, Wizz Air began to serve passengers on the Budapest-Cairo and Budapest-Sharm el-Sheikh routes. Therefore, the pyramids and the Red Sea became more easily reachable for tourists, travelling from Hungary’s Budapest Airport.

According to Hello Magyar, Wizz Air operates three weekly flights to Cairo and Sharm-el-Sheikh from October. The planes take off on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at Budapest Airport. Those travelling to Cairo may check out ancient Egypt with its pyramids, sphinx and many other cultural and historical artefacts and buildings. Meanwhile, in Sharm-el-Shekih you may spend a Mediterranean holiday, even in the midst of winter, with scuba diving, surfing and bathing in the balmy waters.

Kam Jandu, the CEO of the Budapest Airport, was pleased to announce the new flights to Egypt. He underlined the significant demand for the Cairo and Sharm-el-Sheikh flights, which he expects to remain well sought-after in the winter season as well. Both flights are priced affordably. You may purchase your tickets from HUF 16,070 (EUR 42). The first Sharm el-Sheikh flight took off on 22 October, while the first plane left Budapest for Cairo today. Here is Budapest Airport’s post on that:

Wizz Air is to offer more flights to Hurghada, Abu Dhabi, Madeira, Tenerife, Alicante, Madrid and Milan. Furthermore, they will expand the number of flights to Basel and Keflavík.

We reported earlier HERE that the Hungarian Competition Authority launched a new investigation against Wizz Air following passenger complaints concerning their online ticket sales. Meanwhile, the low-cost airline might open new routes to Africa’s Rwanda soon. Read our article HERE on that.
