Thanks for suggesting 2 hours when checking bags. We flew a budget airline from Santorini to Rome in June and check in was quite slow. There were only 3 agents working and we waited over 45 minutes to check our bags, then had to go to another area to check our backpacks since they had straps. Security was quite quick however.
SkyScanner is great! We planned our flight from LAX to ATH via LHR on British Airways using points. We had to file for UK261 due to flight cancelled from LHR to ATH. Luckily we planned on 2 days prior to our cruise to arrive at Athens. Because of the flight cancellation, we lost 1 day and still had 1 day to tour Athens. MSC cruise was wonderful with a port stop at Mykonos. Great trip !
Thank you for the information in the video, especially about Skyscanner. Hope to get back to Greece in 2025 🤞. Ελπίζω να έχετε μια ευτυχισμένη νέα χρονιά 🇬🇷🇺🇸
Aegean has been quite good for me over the years. Solid pricing and great treatment of Star Golds. That said, the 2-3 hours at ATH I don't agree with. Airlines publish minimum connection times for a reason - they have tested this repeatedly and know it will usually work out. Now, I agree with those times, even longer, if you are on a separate ticket.
Hello, I watched most of your vidoes cause we planning to visit athens this summer andI would like to ask any recommendations of hiking trails around athens. Thank you
If I land in Athens at 10 AM (assuming I will have to grab my bags from baggage claim and have to go back inside through security) and have a separate flight to Milos at 1:30 PM, is that enough time to grab our luggage from claim and make it back inside for the separate flight? First time visiting and looking forward to it!
We’re flying Mykonos to Zakynthos on sky express. We have a 45 minute layover. Is that enough time? Also do they weigh the personal item? Another thing, it is very hard to find a carry on that small from USA. Will 21.5 x 14 x 9 inches be okay? Thank you!!
- 45min seems super tight. If the first flight has a 15min delay, you're missing your connection. I would try to find a flight with a 1h15 layover at least. - It's very rare to have your personal item weighed, but it has already happened to me and I had to pay 40€ extra because I was a few kilos above the limit. So be careful. - Regarding the size of your bag : the rule is that it needs to fit under the seat in front of you. I believe the dimensions you wrote would fit under a seat, but you should double check that :-) Hope this helps !

I'm taking Volatea from Athens to Crete soon. Do I need to print out a physical boarding pass, or is a mobile e-boarding pass on my phone is acceptable?
I'm flying from Zurich to Athens, have a 2 hour wait, then taking a direct flight from Athens to Santorini. Do I have to go thru Immigration when landing in Athens?

Sebastian. A very happy Christmas & have a wonderful New Year. I hope we meet for a cognac in 2024 in Santorini. Thank you for all your advice.

With a semi private to private sunset cruise?

No need to print :-)
Good night from PAPUA NEW GUINEA. Happy new year 2024. May God bless you.

No you don't. Switzerland is in the Schengen area, so no passport control.
Whats your take on volotea to fly from Greece within europe
Similar to Ryanair. Cheap but flying hours are usually pretty bad (very early or very late)
I prefer google flights.
