Sharm? Really would of thought Wizz would leave Egypt alone for the tour operators. Seat only to Egypt must be low take up. I hope it works for them.
I'd forgotten that TUI was showing Sharm again for next winter.It's surprising but it's quite possible that the route is operating so tour operators can use it for their packages and offer it from Cardiff in the winter as TUI will most likely drop it again.
There was a post on another website saying that Wizz doesn't deal with travel agents. I have no idea whether that is correct.
Nevertheless, at the moment there are three Sharm flights per week from CWL advertised at present for next winter - two Wizz and one TUI. There is only one from BRS next winter, a weekly TUI.
easyJet's Egyptian airport from BRS is Hurghada at normally 2 x weekly in winter and weekly in summer, with TUI also having a weekly flight advertised year-round.
It remains to be seen whether Egypt will be split, either by design or circumstance, with the Severnside airports concentrating on different Egyptian airports. If easyJet did decide on a BRS Sharm route (the airline's only UK routes to Sharm at present are from Gatwick and Manchester) it would almost certainly be in response to Wizz from CWL.
