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 24 weeks before your trip. KAYAK data shows fares in this window are around 6% 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 9% 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.

As an Elevance employee, don't we get priority boarding? Also, I boarded zone 5 and could not get normal carry on in luggage space. There were many Delta employees on the flight and their bags, which were large and could only fit two bags per compartment, got preference over customers so I had to check my bag.

As an Elevance employee, don't we get priority boarding? Also, I boarded zone 5 and could not get normal carry on in luggage space. There were many Delta employees on the flight and their bags, which were large and could only fit two bags per compartment, got preference over customers so I had to check my bag.

Everything went smoothly, WiFi connection was strong. Time to upgrade the regional planes, we are all on top of each other. No room to comfortably do anything.

The bathroom is disgustingly dirty. It looks like the crew members didn’t clean it on a regular basis. Also, who made the bathroom so small?. I am not a big girl but I still feel very cramped inside. Def unpleasant experience to use the bathroom.

My experience with Delta is always pleasant. My return flight #1426 from ATL to RIC was very delayed with departure and landing. It also took a substantial amount of time for baggage claim. It was already late at night, so the delays made for a very long day. I did not get home until after 12 midnight.

I had a great flight with delta. Plane was clean and the staff was nice, I would fly again with delta.

After flying with Qatar Airways and Kenya Airlines. Delta leaves a lot to be desired

A 6hr delay is going to put a damper on all reviews. It was almost impossible to get into the Delta club also. Zero conveyance. I could not use my status for anything. Makes me wonder why am I loyal to delta?

I fly coach so there is always the feeling everyone up front has more space than me. Everything was fine - on time which is the most important thing!

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.

All our luggage arrive wet a lot of damage on it and in bad situation, broken and open

everythings was good only the food is bad they don’t have enough food for all peoples they have only pasta and when i asked them about beef they said we don’t have

First Flight got delayed had to get rebook for another plane ride to connect the next day the process was not helpful at all had to figure the whole processs myself poor service plane was small and customer service was horrible will not fly this airline again

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.

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.

It is completely insane to me that first class does not include WiFi. Also does not include lounge access. Port for phone charging did not work. The crew was absolutely lovely, and the food was excellent.

I appreciate how quickly and kindly the people at the gate at DCA accommodated several of us who wanted to switch from the 6pm flight to the 5pm flight at the last minute. The flight crew was helpful to us too (dealing with luggage).

Very uncomfortable and cramped seats. Everything else was okay, the crew members were nice but nothing was exceptional.

Check in went smoothly. Flight attendant who was assigned my area barely paid any attention to me! She acted as though she was extremely busy and flustered. Maybe she was new?! I told her to change the language on my screen, she said she’d come back to help me but never did so I was able to solve the problem on my own. She came back and said she’d made adjustments on her end. Highly doubt it because I found the setting to change the language! Also, I noticed everyone was eating before we landed so I pushed my help button and she never came so I got up to find her to ask her if I can have breakfast. She said they are not serving breakfast but I can have a sandwich. Yes, that was her response as I saw everyone eating breakfast!!!

United staff were very communicative, the new starlink Wifi is amazing as I was able to work easily.

Starlink internet made the flight time shrink and I was able to work.

Tiny seat made for midgets. You can’t put a normal size human in such a tiny seat for 8 god damn hours! Hot plane, no air. Lost bags at Rome airport for 8 hours, lucky to have found them. Horrible flying experience, United Airlines should be embarrassed!

The issue is the flight is delayed, which causes me Missing the connecting flight by 3 mins. Remember the connecting flight is a US codeshare flight so UA should be able to inform the operating airline about the delay.

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.

The food was fine. The seats are small but accomidating. The staff was very freindly. I would fly them again happily

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 !

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

Compared to other leading airlines their business class felt like I was in an economy class that you could lay flat in. It was extremely mid. I think there needs to be a complete revamp of all British airways planes and they should also train their staff to be more attentive to customers not that they were bad it just felt disjointed.

My baggage (1) didn’t arrive with me. I am waiting for it.

This is just for first leg, second leg from London Heathrow to Delhi was the worst.

I have flown on British Airways, many many times and will continue to do so! Always the greatest service and staff!

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.
