Published alerts

Typical operations snapshot — editorial, not live news. File dated Sep 19, 2026.

Minor

Peak winter-sun and summer charter banks drive the longest immigration and passport-control waits.

Pearl Lounge access is terminal-specific, and Terminal 2 has separate landside and airside rooms — wrong-hall boarding passes are refused. Live DragonPass is airside-only.

A Sinai-only arrival stamp does not cover Cairo, Hurghada, or the rest of Egypt.

Ground transport is road-only; taxi fare disputes are the most common curb friction point. Ride-hail is not a dependable terminal-door pickup.
