Olympic Air

Flew several legs Athens to Heraklion to Rhodes domestic as well as Athens Tirana international. Even on the short haul flights they had some sort of food and beverage service other than the chaotic embarkation process the flight and attendant experiences were very pleasant.

Travelled from Athens-Rome then to Paris and London over a 3 week period. The cabin was clean and staff were attentive polite and well presented. I will travel with them again in the future true value for money.

Athens to Kos and back. Both flights on time aircraft new and clean. Ground staff and cabin crew nice and helpful. Happy with the whole experience.

ATH-LCA-ATH on clean and comfortable A320 with plenty of leg room in economy. Efficient crew provided excellent service on both segments of the trip. Sufficient cold meal for this short flight free drinks including wine and beer. Luggage was delivered quickly.

2 hour delay going out from Birmingham only to be told when we were up in the air that we would be landing in Greece to refuel and no one could provide us with an explanation. The plane was dirty with rubbish on the floor and in the back of seats chewing gum stuck to the side of the chair. They missed our meals out and we had to point it out staff throughout the flight were chewing which was unprofessional. On the return we were delayed for 15 hrs with no explanation what so ever we were given a 3.50 euro voucher. Instead of returning on 24th we returned on the 25th. We will not be travelling with them again.

Despite the delay departure of 30 mins from Athens to Tirana due to system's break down the flight went smoothly. I was excited onboard DHC-8-400 for the first time. The plane was clean and seems new. The onboard crew were friendly and helpful. The refreshment service for this 1 hr 15 mins flight was rendered efficiently.

Athens to Chania Crete return. A pleasant surprise given previous problems with Olympic airlines. New aircraft A320 both ways clean pleasant friendly staff excellent door-to-door service for my elderly parents on the way to Chania no delays.

Athens-Kythira Island (ATH-KIT) on a Bombardier Dash-8-Q400 NextGen. This is a Public Obligation Service route in Greece and the price is reasonable (120 euros return ticket). The flight takes only 30-35 minutes. The cabin interior was clean and modern and the cabin crew very good offering a small snack and bar service to a full load of 78 passengers in such a short flight.

I found a good deal from Athens to Vienna return. I went on Airbus A319 (SX-OAF). The plane was clean the seat pitch good but not as good as the seat pitch of Boeing 737-300/400. The staff were friendly and the menu good. I returned on another A319. Was very full because Austrian Airlines cancelled their flight to Athens. The only problem is that they don't fly to destinations in Europe.

ATH-AMS. Check in a breeze friendly ground staff and at the gate. Punctual departure candy given for departure and hot lunch and 2 rounds of drinks offered on this 3h10min flight. Young and friendly staff also showed interest in passengers and cared for flight safety. Flight was only half full but this airline is definitely a good deal nowadays both in price and service. On time arrival and bags showed up soon. They are better value then most competitors. No IFE though in this new A320.
