Our travel advice is kept under constant review. Our security experts take account of many factors in providing advice on whether it is safe to fly to certain destinations and the Government has not yet concluded that it is right to lift the restrictions on direct UK flights to and from Sharm el-Sheikh. We look forward to achieving the return of flights once the situation allows. The advice against all but essential travel applies only to air travel to and from Sharm el Sheikh; it does not apply to the resort itself.
