What adds time on arrival day
On arrival day the drive is only part of the journey. Passport control and baggage reclaim can take a while at busy times, so allow extra time before you plan anything for the afternoon.
We monitor your flight automatically. The first 60 minutes of airport waiting are complimentary.
Keep your phone charged for landing and your flight number to hand. Once you have your bags, read your meeting instructions again before you walk out of the arrivals hall.
If your flight is delayed
Flight delays of up to 3 hours can normally be accommodated automatically. For delays beyond 3 hours, continued service depends on operational capacity, and a different driver or vehicle may be assigned.
Finding your driver at Hurghada Airport
Meet & Greet is included with every airport transfer. The driver or representative normally waits outside the terminal exit holding a name sign with your name. Follow the exact meeting instructions in your booking confirmation and voucher.
If you cannot locate the driver, a 24/7 emergency line and WhatsApp support are available. The contact details are in the meeting instructions. We also have a customer support desk at Terminal 1 of Hurghada Airport, open 24 hours a day.
Before you land, save your meeting instructions somewhere you can open them without a mobile signal. When you walk out, look for your own name on the sign and stay near the terminal exit until you see it.
Why a private, fixed-price transfer suits a short drive
All transfers are 100% private. The vehicle is not shared with other passengers. After a flight, that means your group travels together to your hotel.
The route price is fixed and confirmed before booking. There are no meters and no negotiation.
Short drives still reward planning. Knowing the price before you travel lets you budget for the transfer and spend your first evening at the resort, not sorting out a fare at the kerb. Keep your group's luggage count in mind too.
Booking your Makadi Bay pickup
Have your details ready before you start. Booking needs the pickup, destination, travel date and time, plus the lead passenger's name, email and phone number. A flight number is required for a pickup from Hurghada Airport.
Check each detail against your flight booking before you submit it. A wrong date, time or spelling of a name is easy to miss, and it is quicker to catch it before you travel.
