Minor

Peak winter-sun and summer charter banks drive the longest immigration and passport-control waits.Pearl Lounge access is room-specific: Gate 30 is Russian-charter restricted on the live PP page; Gate 36 is not on DragonPass; T2 Pearl is landside.A Sinai-only arrival stamp and CAI QR visa-on-arrival do not cover Hurghada.Ground transport is road-only; taxi fare disputes are the most common curb friction point. Uber pickup is a parking pin, not a guaranteed door car.
