Turkey and Egypt look cheap - until the wrong week.Peak school weeks can double the package on the same hotel.The dodge is simple once you see the pattern.The pattern
Why these two destinations swing harder than Spain.
- Long-haul-feel flights + all-inclusive demand = capacity is tight in school weeks, and prices react instantly.
- The £295-£379 headline fares live in May, June, late September and October - warm sea included.
- Winter sun in Egypt: January/February are the value months, not Christmas week.
The dodge in practice
Two minutes before you book.
- Shift ±1 week around your dates and watch the swing - if it halves, you found the school-week surcharge.
- Check Antalya AND Hurghada for the same week - they often alternate as the cheaper option.
- Fixed on a school week? Book early and take a flexible rate if it is cheap - late deals rarely appear for these weeks.
