Often called the ‘world’s greatest open-air museum’, Luxor in Egypt is more accessible than ever. The UNESCO World Heritage Site, known for its majestic temples, historic Valley of the Kings and famous stone carvings, is set to benefit from easyJet’s new direct flights from London Gatwick. After being suspended for more than a decade, these flights will resume on 11 November 2024. Services will operate every Monday and Tuesday throughout the winter.
Flights will depart London Gatwick at 9:05am and arrive in Luxor at 4:25pm. Return flights will depart Luxor at 5:15pm, arriving in the UK at 9:10pm. The flight time is approximately five hours and twenty minutes, greatly enhancing the accessibility of this ancient wonder.
EasyJet’s return fares on this new route are competitive in its ‘Standard’ fare, which includes a small cabin bag. Additional charges apply for cabin and checked baggage. The route is available for booking from its launch in November until March 2025.
In addition, easyJet has announced over 41 new routes from UK airports to leisure destinations this winter, including three brand new routes. From 14 February 2025, the airline will also start services to Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt. EasyJet now offers more seats to Egypt from the UK than any other airline, a move that is expected to shorten travel times for frequent flyers in the region.
