AEGEAN AIRLINES customer review :  31 August 2010 by T Gupta   (UK)

LHR-ATH-HER return. The seats were more comfy and planes were clean and tidy. The staff were nice and friendly. The food was extremely nice although you do not get a choice. All this was complimentary.

Istanbul to Athens - the best flight with the most courteous flight attendants I have flown in the past 20 years. Keep up the excellent service.

LHR-ATH return. Crew very friendly and efficient. Food fine - greek oriented cuisine, with complementary drinks. Seats comfortable, reasonable legroom. As we had young children, check in staff put priority labels on our bags for us. My only minor complaints would be at Heathrow, they have just 3 or so desks, and only open these a couple of hours or so before departure, so you have to queue up to check the bags in - web check in is not that straightforward - I was unable to check us all in together, but had to do it as 4 separate check ins. Also, unable to purchase a ticket online for my son as he was 1yr old at time of booking but 2yrs old when flying, and their website could not handle that. Otherwise, a very pleasant start and finish to our holiday.

Athens to Santorini. Aegean have a modern fleet of mostly A320s. The flight was short but efficient. Seats comfortable. Business lounge in Athens is small but has a great variety of food.

MUC-ATH. The seating was standard European Business with the middle seat blocked. The highlight of the flight was the meal, which was a pasta dish with shrimp, calamari and tomato sauce - simply excellent. Friendly crew and good service as well as the meal.

ATH to FRA. Nice, clean A320, polite and smiling crew. Service consisted of nice hot dish (unusual these days for short haul) and dessert, Just one round of drinks (wine and beers available free of charge), but those who asked were served a second one with a smile. Crew perhaps a bit too tolerant with passengers who did not respect the seat belt sign during taxiing. .

CDG-ATH-HER return. Very good flights. New aircraft. Hot food and entertainment.

AEGEAN AIRLINES customer review :  29 May 2010 by David Ellis   (UK)

LHR-ATH-LHR. Booked at the last minute because of the BA strike. BMI lounge excellent at T1, Swissport lounge at Athens almost as good. Modern, clean A321-200, seats 2A/C outbound & 1D/F inbound. FAs excellent. Food service rather rushed outbound with no pre-lunch drinks and no offer of champagne pre take-off. Food average quality but good to have the Greek accent. Food service and quality similar inbound and still no sign of champagne. IFE unusually provided on a 4 hr flight but consisted of just a single film on overhead drop-down LCD screens. Priority baggage return worked remarkably well both outbound and inbound, and the general efficiency of the new Athens airport was a delight. Overall, a good product.

AEGEAN AIRLINES customer review :  20 April 2010 by N Carrera   (Cyprus)

Customer support uninterested and never answer emails (despite the fact that I am a Gold card holder). Only contracted lounge in ATH if you are flying extra-Schengen. Unacceptable for the largest carrier in Greece since two of the most popular destinations are extra-Schengen: London and Larnaca. Some of the flight attendants have the nasty habit of ignoring passengers and thereby forgetting to bring drinks or meals to some. Hidden charges - this is not a no- frills airline, yet you get charged for booking your flight online (10 EUR!), there is no way around this fee, as if you buy it over the phone you pay as well, if you buy at their ticket desk as well.

Athens - Tel Aviv return. The price was fair, flight was pleasant, staff polite, cabin clean, the food very average as usual!

BRU-ATH-BRU. Both flights very nice, new aircraft, on time, decent food (hot meal), with entertainment and this on a 2.5 hour flight.

AEGEAN AIRLINES customer review :  14 January 2010 by Dimitrios Zikos   (Germany)

I have travelled many times with Aegean Airlines, from Berlin to Athens, Athens to Larnaca but also in domestic flights in Greece. In general I would say that it is a very good company, as long as everything goes well and you DONT need anything from the customer support. In that case you have to wait for hours (sometimes days) for someone to pick up the phone, quite often to tell you that she/he is not competent to respond to your question and as such your call will be forwarded. Surprisingly 9 out of 10 times nobody will pick up the forwarded call. Another malicious trick they are doing is saying that you should wait for the responsible person to call you. Something that may happen after a week or so, if you get lucky. They also have the bad habit of not informing the passengers for delays or other unexpected event that may jeopardise the trip. I missed a flight once (one of the very few that departed that day) because the advice of the Athens airport information desk (Aegean did not pick up the phone or the line was busy from 9 in the morning till midnight) to to my question if the flight will be delayed-cancelled or not, was to go at the airport four o'clock in the morning and hope that the flight will take place, otherwise ask the Aegean people there. I didn't risk it. As a result I was waiting 4 months to get the taxes from the ticket back. There are also hidden charges, as using the internet to book tickets involves a fee, the same applies though if you book the tickets by phone.

AEGEAN AIRLINES customer review :  9 January 2010 by Charlie Lewis   (USA)

I recently flew from Athens to Milan. One extra bag cost 325 Euro. I could have purchased two tickets providing for two adults with bags for each less expensive. The counter agents were disinterested and responded to each other in Greek which I do not understand. This practice is unreasonable and unacceptable.

AEGEAN AIRLINES customer review :  6 January 2010 by George Vrontos   (Greece)

ATH-IST, on a new A320 (there is a possibility of e-check-in or mobile phone check-in). personally I am not using those services. I prefer the traditional check-in line which was convenient and not crowded. The service was nice, the crew was friendly but when I asked for a newspaper the flight attendant took a note of my seat; but she never brought me the newspaper, (may be they run out of newspapers because they had lot of people in business class). In the returned flight the flight attendant noticed my seat and then she brought the newspaper to me. There was no IFF but on overhead screen you could see the map of the flight and flight information. Food was nice with selection of wine or beer. Both flights on time and about 60% full. On the return flight they had time for duty free trolley.

AEGEAN AIRLINES customer review :  4 December 2009 : by Jieyuan Shen   (China)

Self Check-in is easy for use, but unfortunately not cover most abroad airport (e.g., CDG, France). Manual Check-in is a little slow. Meal is very good even for economy class. The staff attitude and friendliness is impressive. And the flight is very comfortable.
