Block time for Miami → Sharm El-Sheikh is about 13.39 hours non-stop on the site's cruise model. The slider's steps are anchored on typical hub dwell times, which is why the totals sit at 16.4 h and 21.4 h rather than pure multiples.
Factor the 7-hour shift into recovery plans: eastbound arrivals at Sharm El-Sheikh generally bite harder than westbound ones.

If fares into SSH spike, the airports tabulated below are the first places to check; each row shows the distance back to Sharm El-Sheikh and the flight time from Miami. From MIA, reaching CAI instead takes about 1.1 h — less airborne time than the 13.39 h non-stop, and the surface leg into Sharm El-Sheikh still has to be won back.
Companion flight-time pages exist for 3 of these alternatives (CAI first among them) — see Related calculators. Remember the destination is the point: any airport below that adds more than a couple of hours of surface time to reach Sharm El-Sheikh needs a substantial fare gap to justify.
Landing time and daily budget for Sharm El-Sheikh
A 10:00 departure works out to roughly 06:23 on the clock in Sharm El-Sheikh — the 13.39 h airborne leg plus the UTC−5 → UTC+2 shift. Hotel, meal and transit averages put a Sharm El-Sheikh day at $101 against $279 in Miami — worth weighing against any fare premium for better flight times.
A $178 per-day gap favors staying longer in Sharm El-Sheikh and moving on from Miami quickly. With 7 hours gained eastbound, the 10,818 km out to Sharm El-Sheikh ends in a serious jet-lag bill — plan a quiet first day.
