Recent Traveller Feedback
Booked the cheapest SKY Joy fare from Athens to Santorini and only had my 8 kg cabin bag plus a small personal item of 40 x 30 x 15 cm. No checked bag was included which was fine for a short island trip, but I had to be careful not to overpack because the gate agents at ATH do spot-check bag weights on busy flights.
Flew SKY Enjoy from Heraklion to Thessaloniki with one checked suitcase of 22 kg and it was completely hassle free. The 23 kg allowance was perfect for a week-long summer trip around Crete and Macedonia. Boarding was smooth and the bag arrived on the carousel within ten minutes of landing.
Upgraded to BLISS business class on my flight from Athens to Rhodes for an extra 45 EUR and loved the 13 kg cabin bag allowance plus priority boarding. I had my laptop bag plus a larger carry-on with extra camera gear and both fit easily in the overhead bin. The two free checked bags of 32 kg each were also very generous for a domestic Greek flight.

Is SKY express strict about carry-on weight limits?
SKY express enforcement can vary by airport and how busy the flight is, but they do spot-check cabin bags especially at peak times on popular island routes.
If your bag looks obviously oversized or overweight, gate staff may ask you to weigh it and can charge extra or force you to check it at the gate.
It is always safest to weigh and measure your bag before you leave for the airport so you do not get caught out by unexpected fees.
