Lots of other ways to get to SSH, although TUI with RUI do block book the best hotels I know alot who go via Istanbul and book the hotel direct. If I go with TUI it is only a means to get from A to B, I hardly interact with local reps at all and book my own local transfer at a fraction of the cost. The holiday for me is the Hotel & resort. Not the airline but I do use full board only hotels now and no longer travel with kids. Not as if Egypt is great for kids anyhow. It is far too hot in summer.
The last time we took kids I remember the local pool guys/entertainment team saying in June- August they did nothing between 11-3 as everyone was back in room avoiding sun!
This probably puts off Jet2 holidays.
