Aegean Airlines

LHR-ATH-LHR. Clean new Airbus 320 aircraft. Seats not perfect but good legroom compensates this. A selection of nice music before take off helps you fall in the good travelling mode. Both flights ahead of schedule. I'm scared of flying so a smiling and helpful flight attendants attitude definitely helped. Sweets before take off a small but nice touch. Decent proper meal with honest wine that actually tasted good. Overall a very good airline which helped me begin my holidays few hours before reaching Greece and prolonged it for a few hours when I was leaving.

Heathrow to Larnaca return. Aircraft A321 clean and tidy. Departed and arrived on time both ways. Good food inflight entertainment free drinks great service and friendly crew. Booked well in advance and got a great price. All in all a very good airline.

ATH-LHR A321. Some things never change. Food inedible I knew this so I went onboard with a full stomach. I understand priority luggage should come first but not 10 minutes before everyone else's! I have noticed this on a couple of Aegean flights. Plane was new and clean as always cabin crew decent. Aegean if you want those extra stars you need better food better luggage handling services and more happy faces!

Heathrow-Athens. A huge line for baggage drop with only 2 Aegean employees to check-in the entire flight. A problem with the baggage belt added more waiting time and frustration. Staff were really snappy and rude. Due to that delay there was a 20 minute delay in boarding and departure. The plane was really hot (the air- conditioning did little to help). Finally when we arrived in Athens we had to wait an extra 20 minutes for bags to start coming out on the belt. Overall an unpleasant travel experience.

Athens to Frankfurt. Nice lounge at Athens with good selection of food. Flight average food terrible breakfast consisted of burnt pasty offering and a bread roll. Overall a fair offering but given the reviews was expecting more.

Thessaloniki-Samos return. Airbus A319 both ways. Flights full. Attentive crew nice flights drinks served for a 50 minutes flight. Recommended.

Staff at Heathrow Airport not very helpful. Manager quite ignorant to people's needs. Cabin crew quite the opposite very polite and always smiling. A shame how one can spoil it for the other. If you have excess luggage I personally think they over charge. They charge £15.00 per kilo and believe me you cannot get away with it.

LHR-ATH return - A320 outbound A321 return. Excellent service and a good fare. Both aircraft's clean and comfortable with several rounds of drinks (wine tea coffee). Food good. Flights on time or ahead of schedule.

ATH-LHR A320. Flight arrived in London early but luggage delivery so slow in T1 it didn't make any difference. Decent service food horrible as always. New and clean plane. Decent movie onboard.

I loved flying Aegean Air from Rome to Athens in May 2011. Check in was a breeze. The food was warm and good even had dessert. Staff was courteous and helpful. After flying EasyJet for most parts of my 2 week European backpacking trip flying Aegean was a treat.
