"Very poor customer service"
Dionysia Sdrali (Belgium)
✅ Trip Verified | Very poor customer service. I am travelling with a baby paid to be in the front rows and when I wanted to add an extra seat for my daughter everything started. They asked me if I want the same seats, I said yes and they put me and the 5 month old baby in different seats. I asked that obviously we need to be together. Then they moved me in to row 19. Then they couldn’t find me on the flight, they couldn’t give me a seat with the excuse that it’s not for the baby when it was before. Then they asked me to send an email somewhere else if I wanted to take back my money and when I insisted that’s crazy they said ok we will refund you and send you an email, nothing received. They really don’t know what they are doing there.

"Poor customer service"
R Pace (United States)
✅ Trip Verified | Party of 4, 2 couples traveling together, last minute 1 hour before our seats changed. I upgraded everyone to row 11, now one is in 11, 3 are in 26th row. We were told the plane changed and we can't honor your seat selection. Poor customer service. We were not the only party where the seats changed. When I called customer service he stated well this happens occasionally

"inconsiderate and extremely incompetent"
Tex Keeble (Australia)
Not Verified | This is one of the worst experiences I’ve ever dealt with through the use of an airline. It was the most frustrating, time-consuming and displeasing experience imaginable when attempting to travel via plane. No matter what, never use Aegean Airlines under any circumstances. The staff were inconsiderate and extremely incompetent, showing no regard for the passengers well being and failing to explain any of the trouble we were put through. The staff and airline in general had no interest in doing their job properly and ultimately put me through the worst airline experience possible.

"pretty bad track record"
T Zirbel (United States)
Not Verified | We took 3 flights with Aegean and would not recommend them to anyone. Had 3 issues: 1. They overbooked our flight and bumped many people. We bought our flight 3 months ahead, but checked in about 18 hours before our flight (they allow check-in up to 24 hours ahead). We were issued a “standby” ticket without any seats. When we got to the gate, we were told we may or may not get onto the flight and if we didn’t then we would have to wait 4 hours for the late night flight, or try again in the morning. Lots of other people in the same situation. We were never issued boarding passes but we kept following up with the person at the ticket counter until they gave us passes, it seems like due to our persistence and nothing systematic. Luckily we got on that flight, but others didn’t. Nowhere in the policy does it say that whether or not you get on the flight is related to your check-in time. If you take Aegean, check in right away and be persistent about asking for seats! 2. They apply a checked bag policy at will. We were sitting near the gate. The gate attendants approached us and asked to weigh our bags. Our bags, which fit easily into any overhead bin (including previous Aegean flights) were found to be slightly overweight (apparently 9kgs are allowed, ours were about 10kgs). We asked if we could move 1kg into our purse / backpack. They said no, they need to check the two bags, and by the way they are charging us 40Euro per bag. This was for a 45 min flight from an island to Athens. We had no choice and were forced to pay. Also, there was no consistency in the way this rule was applied. We saw plenty of other people with carry-ons larger than ours allowed on the plane and there was plenty of space in the overhead bins. 3. Every flight we were on was late. Two of three were late by over 45 mins. We didn’t have any connections, but I imagine many connecting flights were missed. And, this didn’t happen to us, but it’s worth noting that when we landed in Athens, there were about 30 people waiting at the lost baggage desk. Most of them looked very angry. I asked one person what happened, and apparently an entire flight did not have their bags transferred at a connection. So not only will they force you to check your carry-on and then pay for a checked bag, they might lose it too. All-in-all, this is a pretty bad track record for 3 short island hop flights.

"would like to thank the employee"
Alex Rivlin (Israel)
✅ Trip Verified | Passengers of delayed Aegean Airlines flight 01.07.2023 stuck in Santorini, would like to thank the employee of the Aegean Airlines company from Thessaloniki, Markati, for her non-formal attitude, patience and professionalism! This combination of qualities is rare in our modern life. We wholeheartedly thank this wonderful girl and in her person your company, which helped us in a difficult situation.

"FA were courteous and helpful"
E Carmere (Belgium)
✅ Trip Verified | Boarding in Munich was a rush, however business class passengers did receive a welcome drink - Greek sparkling wine or water. The lunch had several options and there was a choice between 2 red and white Greek wines. The food was not bad at all. Decent information about the flight was given. FA were courteous and helpful. One of the better business products in Europe for sure. Only luggage was not quite delivered as "priority" despite labelled.

"baggage came with 1 hour delay and broken"
S Karnoulis (Greece)
✅ Trip Verified | The baggage came with 1 hour delay and broken. Since then over a month has passed and I have not yet been refunded or received new baggage. On the telephone they do nothing except saying it is summer and it is normal to delay. Definitely not the company it used to be. Low cost company with premium company's prices.

"seats were changed, splitting up the party"
S Morrison (United Kingdom)
✅ Trip Verified | Booked over 9 months in advance and opted for comfortflex fare, which included baggage, onboard wifi access and upfront seat selection. We chose seats right at the front of the economy cabin at time of booking, allowing party to sit together (we were all on same booking). Aircraft was advertised as a new A321NEO with free wifi. However after checking in online, aircraft had changed and subsequently seats were changed, splitting up the party. Flight itself was comfortable with decent leg room and free food/drinks, though quality was lacklustre. Crew were absent in any form of engagement on board, appearing distant.
