Flights to Greece: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travelers who flew to Greece 
DonnaFlew with United Airlines-May 2026
Most overseas flights to Europe are tedious. I try to eat a little lighter the day before to stay comfortable. Also I like a neck pillow and eye coverings. We've flown on many different airlines and out of a few different airports. This flight with United went smooth, no delays. Food could be improved and flight attendants could smile a little more.
RolandoFlew with British Airways-Jun 2024
Purchase one of the memory foam pillows you will not regret it. They provide one for you but it’s fairly small. Try to keep your personal item small so that you have as much room as possible for your legs.

  • Can I buy local currency at a Greek airport?

    Yes, you can. One Exchange is an agency that has currency exchange offices at both Thessaloniki Airport and Athens Airport where you can make such purchases after your flight from the US to Greece. Alpha Bank also has a full-service branch at Athens Airport if other financial transactions are necessary.

  • What’s the best airport to visit Corfu?

    Corfu is the northernmost of the Ionian group of islands off the western coast of mainland Greece and visitors can get there by flying into either of the Greek international airports and then taking a connecting flight aboard Olympic Air or Aegean Airlines from there to Ioannis Kapodistrias Airport (CFU) on Corfu.

  • I wish to visit the island of Rhodes. Which airport is ideal to use?

    Rhodes is the main island in the Dodecanese chain of islands in the southern Aegean Sea off the coast of Turkey. This ancient and historic island is a mecca for tourists and the best way to get there is to fly into Chania Souda Airport in Crete and then get a connecting flight to Rhodes Diagoras Airport (RHO).

  • Which other cities are reachable by travelers arriving at ATH Airport from the US?

    Direct flights from the US can get you to Greece swiftly, where you can explore a few additional cities near ATH Airport. Cities like Spata (4.8 miles), Koropion (11 miles), Pikermion (7 miles), and Paiania (8.8 miles) are close by and are easily accessible by car or bus from ATH Airport.

  • Which airport should I fly into if I want to stay close to sporting events in Greece?

    Sports enthusiasts from the US should consider using Rhodes International Airport (RHO) as their arrival airport when visiting Greece on vacation. This airport is situated close to several stadiums that host world-class and local games, like Diagoras Municipal Stadium and the Ancient Stadium of Rhodes. Staying closer to RHO Airport will allow you to visit these stadiums to cheer on your favorite sports teams.

  • Does the USO to GR0 flight route include any unique pet amenities?

    Yes. There is no need for passengers flying on the USO-GR0 flight route to worry about their dogs' safety when visiting Greece. The majority of US airports allow people to bring their four-legged companions with them, including JFK, SLC, and LAX Airports, which conduct international flights to Greece. The overwhelming majority of US airports that offer flights to Greece require all pets to be kept on a leash at all times.

  • Which airport is widely preferred among travelers flying to Greece from the northwestern USA?

    Take one of the direct flights offered by Virgin Atlantic, Finnair, or Air Canada from Seattle Tacoma International Airport (SEA) to ATH if you're planning a round-way trip from the northwest region of the United States to Greece.

Your guide to booking flights to Greece

Get tips on when to book, when to fly and what to know before your trip.
  • If you can plan ahead, the sweet spot for booking your flight is 26 weeks before your trip. KAYAK data shows fares in this window are around 4% lower than last-minute bookings (made within 2 weeks of departure). Not ready to commit? Set a Price Alert and we'll let you know when prices change.
  • If your dates are flexible, February usually has the best deals, while June tends to be the priciest. The best-time-to-travel chart on this page shows how prices move across the year.
  • Monday is usually the cheapest day to fly, about 10% cheaper than Friday, the priciest day. If your dates are flexible, that's an easy way to save. If not, try nearby airports or a layover instead.
  • If arriving on time matters more than price, consider flying with one of the most punctual airlines flying to Greece: Emirates, Delta, American Airlines, United Airlines or Norse Atlantic Airways.
  • If you're looking to save, Alexandroúpoli Demokritos (AXD) has had the lowest fares over the past 12 months. Just remember to factor in the cost of getting to your final destination.
  • Athens is the most popular destination in Greece. Start your trip here and then check out these other places KAYAK travelers love: Alexandroúpoli, Mykonos and Thera.
  • Consider a layover to Greece, it can cost less than flying nonstop. Stockholm Arlanda (ARN) is typically the cheapest place to connect.
  • If you are taking a flight from the US to Greece, you will enter at one of two points: Thessaloniki Airport Makedonia (SKG) serves the greater metropolitan area of Greece’s second city in the north while Eleftherios Venizelos Airport (ATH), or Athens Airport, is your link to the capital, The Peloponnese and the islands of the Aegean Sea in the south.
  • The island of Crete is the largest of the Greek islands and represents the country’s southern boundary. It has two international airports: Chania Souda on the western flank of the island and Heraklion Airport (HER) roughly in the center of the island. From there, it’s easy to reach the eastern flank of the island and the towns of Sitia and Zakros.
  • The Cyclades are a cluster of islands that inhabit the southern part of the Aegean Sea, including the famous Mykonos, Thira (Santorini) islands and Naxos. If you will travel there, you can get a connecting flight from Athens to Santorini International Airport (JTR) and go from there, but most prefer to take the ferry from the Athens port of Piraeus and island hop.
  • Mount Olympus separates the regions of Thessaly and Macedonia, so it makes sense that your flight from the US to Greece should terminate at Thessaloniki Airport. From there, the journey is about a 3h drive and there are several tour buses that visit the area.
  • The islands of Chios, Lesvos and Samos mark the eastern regions of Greece and are closer to the coast of Turkey than to the mainland. A flight into Athens Airport will allow you to get a connecting flight from there to Chios Island National Airport (JKH) or Samos International Airport (SMI) and travel by ferry to Lesvos.
  • Travelers with limited mobility should think about taking a flight from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Athens International Airport (ATH) when planning on traveling from the US to Greece by air. At LAX Airport, passengers with disabilities, mobility challenges, as well as any other special needs can request special assistance, like medical and safety aid, wheelchairs, or baggage assistance.
  • Airport lounges are regarded as the ideal venues for travelers to unwind while waiting for their flights to different destinations. Most budget travelers who want to unwind at a pocket-friendly lounge before catching their flights from the US to Greece choose Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) as their departure airport of choice. Budget travelers can comfortably relax before takeoff in SLC's Delta Sky Club lounge.
  • From the US, parents who want to take their kids on vacation to Greece may want to consider flying on Delta Airlines from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Athens International Airport (ATH). This airline provides continuous flights between JFK and ATH airports. You can travel from the US to Greece within the shortest amount of time possible by taking direct flights, which reduces the likelihood that your kids will be worn out before they get to Greece.
  • If you're using the SLC- Thessaloniki Airport Makedonia Airport (SKG) travel route and your aircraft from the US is scheduled to touch down in Greece at night, consider the possibility of staying in a hotel that is closer to Thessaloniki Airport Makedonia Airport. If passengers arrive in Greece at night, they can spend the rest of the night in one of the hotels close to SKG Airport.
  • The two main airports from which travelers who wish to book direct flights can depart from the United States to Greece are JFK and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). These are the primary US airports where Emirates and Delta Airlines have hubs from which they run direct flights to Athens' ATH Airport.

On time, quick boarding, so nice of them to honor active and retired military with early boarding. Attendants were nice . Plane was clean. A bit crowded like all flights.

My bag was open when I got to Portland and all my clothes were wet and my parking pass was wet

Had to deplane 2 x due to problems with plane. Delayed over 6 hours ans was given a $12 food credit which barely oaud for anything and limited to wear incoukd redeem.

After boarding the plane had to wait an hour at the for the copilot to show up before we could depart

No beverage/snack service without any explanation or reason. Late boarding and delayed flight.

more room in seats, larger snacks, more comms with delays

There was overbooking that delayed boarding. Then an airport emergency lockdown that caused further delays in boarding. However the time was made up during flight and there was a minimal delay in landing. Everything else was excellent.

Very crowded and the economy seats were the smallest and with the least legroom I have ever experienced. Cabin staff were excellent although the food service was chaotic as they were being each person their food individually instead of from the wagon.

Only issue was with seating. The economy fare we purchased did say there was no guarantee the three people in our party would be seated together, and we were not. At the gate, the agent told us more specifically, the fare we purchased meant we would be seated in middle seats only. This should just be made more obvious.

Another smooth and friendly flight. For a shorter flight, it was a pleasant surprise to see a decent snack and complimentary drinks.

Excellent overall. Boarding was a mess. Queue up too early, takes too long for them to start boarding but they want everyone to queue up and wait and wait.

When getting to our seats a blanket, headphones and pillow where there already. The food was very good and plentiful. I liked when they came around w/hot towels to freshen up with. Slippers, socks and an eye mask was a nice surprise. My husband and I have mobility issues and the transporters were absolutely wonderful and helpful w/the wheelchairs at each stop. Getting from one gate to the next they were a blessing.

The taxi drivers are very rude. Didn’t wait. They said you come in 5minutes or I leave. Did not leave any messages on front desk and they left. We have to hire new cabs in turkey.

Everything was good except for the seating arrangements. We could not get seats to be seated together with my wife. We’re unfortunately.

My first time in business class The in flt staff was outstanding in every aspect of service, the food was amazing, the business seat space made the 11 hour journey easy peazy

It was good, but always can be better. The airplane was old.

The service is awesome. The food is the best of all the airlines we have flown before. Totally enjoyable flight, which is quite unusual.

Our flight was delayed for one hour is their a credit?

We had a flight from Ny to ist and ist to Athens. Our flight was landed late to the Istanbul due to weather conditions and we couldn’t make the next flight to Athens. Turkish airlines transferred us to Aegen airlines for our ist to ath flights and told us they will transfer our luggages. However when we arrived Athens there was no luggage’s and I was traveling with two little kids. This was horrible experiences. Our ath flights was also early morning and we had to wait until 5pm for the next flight with two kids at the airport and they haven’t provided any hotel or food to us. We paid hotel with our own expense and also for food. That’s was horrible experience. I am very disappointed.

It was a quick flight, and it was fine. The only thing was my seats wouldn’t recline because I was in the last row. It was a 1am flight so that made it hard to sleep. But otherwise it was fine.

A couple flight attendants in business class had bad attitudes and provided poor service. They did provide drinks or refill drinks. They talked to certain passengers for long periods of time and ignored others.

I especially enjoyed having a lightly packed flight which enabled me and my wife to occupy a three seat area with nobody in the middle seat.

Fantastic experience once again flying with United! There was great communication from the cockpit and one of the flight attendants went out of her way to get my two little kids some special treats which elevated our travel experience coming home.

1) United economy seats barely recline. 2) I have yet to get United WiFi to work, after numerous flights.

Flight attendants need to know their plane. Seated in first row yesterday. The seat had about a 1 inch recline that was not adjustable. I don't appreciate being awakened to raise a seat that can't go any further forward and such a small recline is either irrelevant or the plane needs to be repaired. Not the way to treat any customer and especially the ones who have paid that level of money for the seats.

The experience was good overall; however, my United Airlines Mileage Plus Account didn't reflect my flights to Houston from Newark. In essence, my mileage rewards points do not reflect my actual travel. This should be corrected.

Delayed - leaving, delayed getting to the gate at destination. What should have been a very easy flight and experience was not.

Plane arrived an hour before departure. Plane was completely boarded and ready for push back when they decided they needed to change a tire. 1 hour delay on the plane when this could have been done before we got on the plane.

Did not like that we couldn't complete check in on-line without providing pictures of our passports. Worry about identity theft. We had no delays and boarding was handled In an efficient manner.

United needs to figure out its Economy PLUS standards; its better than economy but that's not saying much. It seems like United stripped away all the basics for an international flight (such as In Seat entertainment) and repackaged some of them as plus. Would not fly United internationally again.

It flight had a maintenance issue, that should be part of of preventative maintenance, and then they completely mismanaged the passengers on the buses. A terrible experience.

Lufthansa has a bag policy unique to Lufthansa. We all had a small carry on and a backpack (personal item) that we carried with us through multiple other connecting flights, no problem. With Lufthansa we were charged 80 euros each for the carry on at the gate, for this one flight. When asked they said they made an announcement… problem being that we had just arrived to the gate from a connecting flight and didn’t hear an announcement. While we were standing at the counter paying the ridiculous fee several other people were stopped, while countless others boarded with the same type of luggage and were not stopped. Crazy. Good news though, when we got on the plane half of the overhead bins were empty! After an already horrible experience the lady at the counter was also terrible, so that helped round things out.

Delayed over 2 hours. Bring your own snacks or prepare to pay. No entertainment and no plug plugs for charging.

I remember flying with Lufthansa many years ago, and it used to be an amazing airline with more technologically savvy and roomy planes, but unfortunately that isn’t the case anymore. The space between the seats is much smaller, which is ok for short flights, but definitely not for across the Atlantic flights. Not sure if I’ll opt for Lufthansa the next time, maybe just if necessary.

Boarding delayed 1.5 hours. Ended up sick because of all the delays and lines waiting around airport and boarding.

They failed to make sure all luggage made it onto the flight. I had to spend a week on vacation with no clothes.

No internet for most of the flight. Very narrow seats. Food was bad. Flight was nearly an hour late with perfect weather, crew offered no explanation or compensation.

Gate agent required us to check our perfectly legal carry on bags due to a supposed lack of overhead space. After seating, we saw nothing but empty space in our seating area. This caused luggage to miss connection in Athens, and we had no bags in Mykonos. Totally avoidable and unacceptable. My last U A flight !

I missed my connection. Lufthansa did a great job helping me get a new flight. My luggage arrived on the same plane as I did. That was astonishing.

Food was mediocre. In flight entertainment lacked live TV. Crew was fantastic. Plane very comfortable if a bit worn.

The plane was ancient, and its technology was in disrepair. None of the charging stations worked, and the screens were barely functioning.

It was my experience w Kayak that was negative. I’m never using kayak again

Flight was delayed 4 hours, gate change was a big trek the opposite direction, gate agent indicated a lack of faith that we would actually fly.

I washed attendant for assistance and she never got back to me. I asked her a second time and she said she would check. She never did. The flight was over an hour late taking off No food service was offered despite over 4 hours on the flight

Very bad check in service. They hardly spoke of any English - at least in a way to communicate. Downgraded from Business due to seat malfunction. Could not even allocate a seat in economy with an empty seat next to me. So called manager at check in was a total waste of time

It's hard to tell where to plug in electronics, and the port on my seat didn't work. Their entertainment system was down. Vegetarian food options were tasty. Friendly, helpful flight attendants.

Our flight BA638 was cancelled with very short notice. It was supposed to depart at 7:25am. We had left Chichester at 3:30am in order to make the flight, and we were notified of the cancellation while en route to LHR. We were told the cancellation was necessary because a plane had not been scheduled to be at LHR for this flight! We were rescheduled to BA636. This flight was supposed to depart at 11:00am but didn't actually take off until ~12:30pm. Consequently we arrived in Athens several hours late, missing out on half a day of our sightseeing time. We had booked transport with MyTransfers to pick us up at the Athens airport and drive us to our Hotel Adonis. I was unable to get a refund for this service because our flight was so delayed. They required 24 hour notice of pick up time changes. I instead had to pay for a taxi at the airport. I have tried to fill out a request for compensation online but have been unsuccessful. How can I get help for filing a claim?

They could do everything better!! From the rickety plane to the flight attendants, when American Airlines is operated by British Airways, their standards are lowered! It’s like Macy’s, operated by Walmart!!

It was ok but not at a business class standard No entertainment system available which is poor for a 3+ hour journey Food was ok and service was good though

Late boarding with inconsistent excuses. Bulk head seats were very small and uncomfortable. 1 tiny candy bar and a water were only food provisions. Food for purchase was unavailable.
