The cost of flights to Egypt are "sky high" due to a squeeze on capacity following travel disruption faced at UK airports.

The rule change means tourists can now visit without proof of vaccination or evidence of a negative test or recovery certificate

This was the message from Red Sea Holidays managing director Andrew Grant, who told TTG aviation delays were beginning to have a knock-on effect for those looking to book getaways later in the year.

"The prices are sky high for this summer," he said. "Our focus, however, has always been to serve the best interest of our customer. We tried to get as many bookings as we could without passing cost increases on to clients due to the lack of capacity, and we’ve managed to do that.

"We went into this summer with really good bookings levels, and we have managed to secure some capacity, but overall capacity to Egypt at the moment is quite tight."
