Desventajas: My friend and many other passengers were held on standby and made to believe that they themselves had purchased the standby ticket when that simply was false. The staff were unhelpful in managing the situation and although everyone got on in the end it was an unpleasant experience.

Don't even try!

Ventajas: At least they didn't recharge me for the luggage. Although the baggage check-in person did not like this. Informed me that I had not paid, and when I showed her the paper and pointed to the desk across the terminal, she reluctantly accepted it. Flight landing and takeoff were good.

Desventajas: Totally impossible to make over an hour connection time. The airport passport control and security checks were poorly conducted and multiple checks for all the same information. I assume part of this is because Turkey is not part of the EU, but customers should be made aware of this on booking. We got through all the checks and briskly walked "straight" to the gate where we were informed the boarding had closed 4 minutes before. We were sent back to a desk with very poor directions how to get there, where we were informed that we had plenty of time between flights. They allowed 55 minutes and it took us 80 min to arrive at her counter. She accused os of stopping, maybe to go to the bathroom, or get a cup of coffee, of which we had not even hesitated in our jog to the gate. They refused to rebook our ticket and we then had to go, in a very round-about method back through the airport to recover our "lost" luggage because it had been removed from the flight we were supposed to be on. We were not informed that it had been removed. I had to ask if it would be in Heraklion when we arrived and then she said, "oh no, it was taken off the plane when you didn't board". After picking up the luggage, we were to find a travel agency to book a new flight and go through the entire check in process again. I asked if there would be enough time to accomplish this and was told "it should be, if you don't make any stops." After walking back & forth through the entire airport at least 3 times, we ended up with a last minute gate change and apparently was not the only change. There was no control of the loading. Seats were like sitting on stone. I will never willingly use Agean or Olympic or whatever it was, again. This was not inexpensive. Rebooking for this less than 1 hour flight cost me 106 Euros each.

Desventajas: After Aegean airlines late departure around 45 minuets we arrived at Athens to check our departure We then made our way to gate 3 after seeing the flight we were on was leaving from there in about 1 hour. To double check we asked the attendant at the counter and was told yes the gate was changed after that without our knowledge and our flight left from gate 15 about 45 minuets later we only found out when trying to board the flight at gate 3 We then went to Agean counter and they were very unhelpful and said there was nothing the could do. Because we had booked accommodation and tours of the colosseum the next day we then had to go to another airline and book 2 separate flights to get to Create and then Rome arriving after midnight You would have at least Agean would have organised that for us In the end we couldn’t get to our accommodation before they closed so had to book another hotel I do blame Agean airline for this as they changed the gate late and did not make an anountsment for us at the original gate all up this cost us 8 house in time and about 1300 euro Not happy Murray Goodman - [ ]
