Olympic Air

Athens to Santorini on A320. Check in quite good. Used Goldair Lounge at Athens as I got in free with Diners Card. Aircraft interior different to normal OA A320 with dull grey seats. However legroom excellent and service was very good. Much more refined than the old Olympic. Served drink and cookies for the 45min flight. Return on Dash8 aircraft leased from Flybe. OA staff and livery. Small cramped cabin but excellent service with unlimited soft drink and a sandwich/cookie.

Economy Class Athens-Corfu-Athens. Service onboard excellent. Both flights in the early morning and cabin crew was very welcoming. The usual choice of beverages was offered along some biscuits filled with vanilla.

Rhodes-Athens business class. Staff friendly and attentive with a good standard of English. Food a small salad type meal. On arrival at ATH business pax were provided with a separate bus to the terminal arrival was quick and efficient.

IST-ATH and ATH-AMS. Seamless and quick check-in boarding and baggage. Modern clean aircraft (B737 and A320). Meals were great and surprisingly substantial for short flights. Good experience and would fly Olympic again.

My daughter (10yrs) flew Paris to Zakynthos through Athens on 18th July with the unaccompanied services. She did tell me about the UM service in Athens - when she got there she was taken to a room with other children to wait 3 hours for the next flight. The staff in the room who was supposed to look after them smoked all the time. This is absolutely shocking to see the way they treat children.

Economy Class LHR-ATH-EFL A320 & Dash 8-400. A huge improvement over the old Olympic Airlines. LHR-ATH on a new aircraft more than adequate legroom a decent hot meal served with complimentary beverages. Motivated hard working and smiling crew. ATH-EFL was equally good with a snack and beverages on 45 minute flight.

LCA-ATH-LCA flights were on time and enjoy the new look cabin. Food was acceptable with a sandwich and cereal for Breakfast and a Greek salad + roll for dinner on the return. Only annoyance is they changed the return from an A320 to an A319 so my pre-booked exit row seat ended up being just a normal seat and the seat ended up being broken did take me three attempts to get someone to move me.

London Gatwick - Athens economy class. A320 everything from staff uniforms to the interior was new. The plane was equipped with PTV screens but no inflight movie or any form of entertainment offered during this 3+ hrs flight. Lollies and newspapers handed out prior to take off inflight hot meal served with wine. Plane arrived early in Athens bags came out a bit late. Overall pleasant trip.

Athens-Vienna return on A319. Cabin interior lavatories clean. Seat pitch quite comfortable. Candies and newspapers offered after boarding. Hot meal served and plenty of cold and hot beverages. Cabin crew polite and professional. In-flight magazine was average there was no video/music entertainment available.

Heraklion to Athens Athens to Rome. Flights both excellent planes clean (A319 and A320) and flight attendants very professional. ATH-FCO a cold meal was served - in both segments they gave us cookies in the shape of Christmas trees. Complimentary beverages including wine served on ATH-FCO segment and complimentary non-alcoholic beverages on HER-ATH segment. My husband and I were both impressed with the quality on Olympic Air.
