We booked through Red Sea Flights for a recent trip to Sharm and were flown out by Astraeus. I had heard from them before as my hubby is an Iron Maiden fan and the lead singer is a pilot for the company (no he didn't fly us)

We booked the flights and hotel through imperial Travel buit will book direct with red sea and med hotels next time. The flight was £260. The plane was a 737 so the leg room wasn't as good as could be but I was comfortable and it was a 5 1/2 hr flight. There is no option to upgrade

The flight outward was on time and the plane was spotless. The staff were very efficient and the food edible, we were served a chicken pasta bake with vegetable which was piping hot. As it was the first time I or my daughter had flown the captain advising us of where we were was fascinating

On our return we were held on the runway for 30 minutes. As a new security measure following the Naama Bay bombings, immigration hold back 4 outward passengers until all the passengers that were flown out by the airline that day have cleared immigration. That way if they refuse entry we would be there to take them back. The pilot kept us informed and kept the AC as cool as he could. He even came out for a chat. Luckily for the 4 held back they were allowed to board and we set off over 30 minutes late; however we were only 10 minute late into Manchester. The flight was excellent and I am please to say our luggage arrived at both ends safe and sound! The food was a welcome roast chicken dinner.
