Recent Traveller Feedback
Departed Thessaloniki Airport on a morning flight to Rhodes. Security follows the standard European 100 ml liquid rule for carry on luggage. I had my travel size toiletries in a clear plastic bag and they passed through the security checkpoint with no problems at all.
Booked ComfortFlex for my trip from Heraklion to Athens so one checked bag up to 23 kg was included. My bag was 21 kg and dropped off at the self service counter at HER. It arrived safely on the belt at Athens International Airport within fifteen minutes of us getting to baggage claim.
Flew Olympic Air from Athens to Santorini on a Flex fare. I had one small personal item plus a 55 x 40 x 23 cm cabin bag weighing about 7 kg. At ATH they did not weigh any bags at the gate and the Dash 8 overhead bins fit standard rollaboards without issues. Boarding was quick and the crew was friendly throughout the short flight.
