Olympic Air

Traveling from Samos to Lesvos with a transfer at Athens Airport. We went through the airport of Samos pretty fast we had too many bags with us so we needed to pay an extra fee which was 30 euros for each suitcase (didn't care about the weight) which I find a very fair price. Flight attendants were very kind and even for this short flight (25min) to Athens they came around with a drink and a snack. The stopover in Athens was not very useful for us because we transferred to another gate to end up on the same plane we had came from with exactly the same cabin crew. Overall a good experience would recommend it to others.

ATH-SOF on Q400 (noisy plane). During the 1 hour 5 min flight they offered sandwich refreshments or wine and coffee / tea with a croissant. Food was very bad and tasteless. Staff was professionals and friendly. Flight was on time. Appearance of plane was clean.

The check-in process for this super quick 30 min flight from Santorini to Athens on a Dash 8 plane was shockingly disorganized! Once we got on board though they actually managed to serve drinks and peanuts which impressed me for such a short flight.

JMK-ATH A3 377 7 Aug 2014. Flew Mykonos - Athens on a clean Dash 8. Welcomed on board by very polite and smiling cabin crew. Despite the fact the flight time was only 20 minutes a full drink service was offered with napkins ice and peanuts. The 2 Flight Attendants never looked stressed or hassled and full marks to the Purser for her excellent PA announcements made in Greek and very good English. Upon landing again the goodbye and thank you greeting was given with sincere smiles and professionalism. Shall definitely fly Olympic again.

Flew on the 16th of June Athens to Mykonos. Very short 35 min flight on a dash 8 Q400. Staff were courteous and happy to help (on ground and inflight). Regardless of the short flight drinks and some peanuts were served which was a nice touch considering how short the cruise time was (roughly 5 minutes) before descent started.

Our flight was scheduled for 1450hrs but we were delayed at security screening due to the long queue and we came from a connecting flight. When we rushed to the boarding gate at 1440hrs we were unable to board. The gate controller wanted to help us but somebody on the other end of her walkie-talkie refused to let us board. The bus driver was waiting to rush us to the plane but in the end everything was in vain. We had to get another pair of tickets for a next day flight and spend the night at the airport as a result. The plane did not even attempt to wait for us but preferred to take the time to offload out luggage. In all experiences flying although not required all airlines planes have always given an unspoken grace period of perhaps 5-10 mins for late passengers some even longer as connecting passengers have to rush through gates. We would not have gone past 5 mins boarding time and Olympic Air refused to wait. We forfeited a booked hotel night stay and had a bad experience with getting another ticket.

Very quick 40 minute flight from Athens to Mykonos and back. Great helpful staff and they tried to serve a drink each way and a snack but ran out of time. New aircraft and comfortable economy seating.

Flight from Milos to Athens. Aircraft dash 8-100 old but with a clean cabin. Very good service for a 35 mins flight.

Flight from Athens to Vienna in business class. Very nice service from the crew and a fantastic breakfast. Aircraft was a new airbus A319.

Flew OA on 21st July Athens - Corfu route. Flight operated by bombardier Q800 aircraft. Before take off cabin was too hot. Airplane is not convenient if you have special needs. Aisle was very thin and the toilet was so small it was hard to move with the door closed. I will avoid this airline.
