Read more about Aegean Airlines

Pros: "Crew was amazing—efficient and kind. Loved the seat space"

Cons: "Nothing. All good"

Pros: "The best landing of a commercial aircraft I have ever experienced in my 74 years and in half a century of flying across the globe, took place in arriving at the Madrid airport with this Aegean Airlines flight. I had to ask the airline hostesses the names of the pilot, and they were two pilots flying"

Pros: "Good on business class was amazing and the staff was always ready to help with any questions."

Cons: "Flight was delayed twice and because of that the airplane was not as clean as it should of been"

Pros: "Ground crew and cabin crew were very helpful and efficient"

Pros: "I did not make this connection due to delayed first flight and the most poorly organized and staffed airport!!!"

Cons: "Getting reimbursed!"

Pros: "Aegean is a fine airline overall"

Cons: "I had a carry-on bag, no problem on the flight from Madrid to Athens; but on the return trip they weighed the bags of some passengers, and when mine was over the limit -- which, however, was not indicated in the baggage restrictions -- they charged me 60 euros and I had to check it right there."

Pros: "The crew was nice, friendly and helpful."

Cons: "There wasn't an autobus ready to take us from the main terminal in Athens to the plane on the runway."

Cons: "Boarding could have been handled a bit better. We were told our suitcases could not be carried on as they were too big, but we saw other passengers with luggage just as big but they got to carry it on. They didn't charge us for checking the bag which made the issue less irritating."

Pros: "Crew was helpful and polite"

Cons: "Apparently Aegean has stopped offering candy before take off. That's a pity as this was a nice (and presumably low cost) way of differentiating from other Star Alliance airlines. Food was mediocre and there was no in flight entertainment."

Cons: "There are no Aegean air representatives at baggage claims or when you arrive at your gate to ask questions. I looked in vain to find out something about my luggage and no one was in athens to help"

Pros: "The food was very good and inflight entertainment was excellent."

Cons: "They keep the cabin temperature too warm the entire flight. The seats are too stiff."

Pros: "Very comfortable business class. Amazing food prepared on board. Flight crew was very pleasant, helpful and professional. The business class lounge in Istanbul was amazing as well, 2 stories tall with food, drink and entertainment everywhere. Golf simulator, slot cars etc!!!"

Cons: "Check in process was more disorganized than most business class ."

Cons: "The entertainment system is old, not easy to use, and lacks features."

Pros: "Athens to Istanbul is a short one hour flight, made very pleasant by the attentiveness of cabin crew"

Cons: "My suitcase was completely soaked from the rain in Istanbul. It must have been left on the tarmac in Istanbul before it was loaded onto the aircraft. I had clothes on the inside that needed to be dried once in Cairo."

Pros: "Crew. Food wasn’t bad."

Cons: "Late leaving. Waited an hour in Joburg before we could deplane. Cramped seat (normal on most airlines)."

Cons: "Turkish Airlines does not communicate with its passengers. If the flight is late (as both of ours were), you wait with no information as to when the flight leaves. The same lack of communication occurs once you on board. I joked to my wife that the cargo on a Fed-Ex flight is given more information. Arrived in Istanbul with a very tight connection. Airplane was not given a gate so we needed to take a bus to terminal. The bus dropped us just about as far from our connecting gate as possible. Since it took four buses to transport passengers, one could have been designated for US bound transfer passengers (who were all leaving from same group of gates) and taken us directly there."

Cons: "Didn't happen. My first leg to Athens was canceled which created a humongous headache since it ended up canceling my return flights. Air Canada had to put me on completely new flights there and back. I think this has taught me to go directly through an airline. Justfly was not helpful. Neither was Turkish airlines."

Pros: "Crew was friendly and efficient. We were served beverages and a tasty (by American airlines standards) sandwich on the less than 1 1/2 hour flight"

Cons: "Boarding was slow, late and somewhat disorganized."

Cons: "Flight was overbooked, which is always an annoying inconvenience. As a result, the flight was significantly delayed. When the plane landed the pilot immediately had to take off again which was really unusual and unsettling. But eventually we were able to properly land."

Poor service ! Water need to be free and a little snack for 3.5 hour during the flight. Tarom company need to take lessons from Turkish Airlines.

Pros: "The crew and the flight from Bucharest to Istanbul"

Cons: "The airplane from Athens to Bucharest wa terrible, very old, smelling bad, not maintained, and noisy"

Pros: "Comfortable’ish seats, left on time... arrived early!"

Cons: "Boarding is, continues to be, a big issue! Not organized, everyone trying to jump ahead of others..."

Pros: "Crew super"

Cons: "food, seat. In general the whole aircraft is not convenient"

Pros: "Good short flight."

Cons: "Open both for passengers to enter terminal on arrival in Bucharest."

Pros: "Short flight."

Cons: "When the passengers walked into the terminal building from the tarmac in Otopeni Airport (Bucharest), BOTH wings of the double door could have been open! Only one was. Otherwise flight was fine."

Pros: "quick boarding (small plane, not many people). appreciated a free meal in economy class on a 1hr flight. Wow! relatively easy check in for my luggage."

Cons: "better signs regarding luggage check in, better seats. gate number changed many times. confusing and hard to hear announcements"

Cons: "DO NOT FLY THIS AIRLINE they lost my luggage and WILL NOT ANSWER THE PHONE not sure if I'll ever get it back. Worst customer service ever."

Cons: "My mother (88 yrs of age) solicited help stowing her luggage from one crew member, and was refused!"

Pros: "Flight was on time, seats were comfortable. Snack was providedeven if flight was short (1h) Polite staff."

Cons: "nothing"

Cons: "The Business Class lounge was OK, but we were through late at night and there was very little hospitality offered"

Pros: "On time and comfortable"

Cons: "Too many check points, very lousy checking in area in the airport and no one to organize people checking in cause long wait line"

Pros: "Nothing"

Cons: "Egypt air is one of the worst airlines in the world so everything could have been better. Literally everything"

Pros: "Timing and Food"

Cons: "Out of 50 international flights in the past 5 years, this is the first time on EGYPTAIR. They lost one piece of luggage."

Pros: "In flight entertainment and lunch served. Special accommodations made for our child."

Cons: "Nothing...a wonderful experience!"

Pros: "Lenient on the luggage allowance but human relations need to"

Cons: "Everything"

Pros: "The plane was overbooked"

Cons: "I don’t think with airline like you could do something."

Pros: "Flight durations were good."

Cons: "Better entertainment provided. Also got moved around to accommodate their colleagues, which I wasn’t too fond of being pushed to a middle seat."

Pros: "Crew wasnice"

Cons: "Plane was old, toilet was disgusting no soap, no personal entertainment option. Food was ham and cheese no other options"

Pros: "everything was good especially the timing and entertaining it all good."

Cons: "keeping to the time most especially."

Flight was missed due to delayed departure from Rome Luggage lost on Rome.

Missed connecting flight because flight out of Rome was delayed. Had to rent car to final destination. Luggage was lost from Rome. Delta is blaming Ita Airlines and Ita Airlines is blaming. And as of right know neither airline wants to be responsible for our luggage or refund or missed flight. Will not book trips through third party companies such as Kayak again.

Terrible service, uninterested employees, inefficient boarding process, and marginal set up on plane. Staff make the airline - good luck with this one.

Never went to Rome's airport and it was beautiful!!

I heard that ita airways was not good but my experience was very solid

More than 2 hours late and no food because of a problem with the catering. The flight was super full and there wasn’t enough space for the hand bags. A lot of space for improvement.

Main trouble was with Kiwi -- a partner booking organization through Kayak. Even though tI booked well in advance they did not assign me a seat and I came within a minute iof getting bumped from the flight. On the return trip the airline sent me an ominous message that I had to provide additional info before I could receive my boarding pass and that if there were problems I would get a refund. That caused unnecessary stress since the airline just needed my home address. Kiwi should have made sure they had collected all the necessary information from me before they booked my flight.

Long delay, lack of space at the seats (not comfortable).

We made the boarding and then waited inside 40minutes before taking off The plane was too full It was probably the worst flight of my life in terms of comfort. I was in the central seat, and on my right i had a very big person who was occupying part of my seat since he did not fit in just one. I think in these cases the staff should notice and do something about it. I checked if there were available seats by myself, but it was all full. Maybe in business class there were still available seats though.
