Claim escalated to airline

Unknown

Dear Aegean Airlines Customer Relations, I am writing to submit a formal complaint regarding the refusal by Aegean Airlines staff at Cairo International Airport to allow my daughter to board her booked flight from Cairo to Athens, onward to Tbilisi, Georgia. My daughter is a Sudanese passport holder and has held Georgian residency for approximately five years. Her itinerary involved a short transit in Athens of approximately two hours. Before the journey, I contacted Aegean Airlines customer service to verify the transit visa requirements. During that call, your customer service agent explicitly informed me that Sudanese passengers were exempt from the airport transit visa requirement when their layover was less than 24 hours. I have a recording of this conversation and can provide it as evidence. Relying on this information provided by your representative, we proceeded with the travel arrangements. However, at Cairo airport, Aegean Airlines staff refused to board my daughter on the grounds that she required a transit visa. This directly contradicted the information supplied by your customer service agent and caused significant distress, disruption to her travel plans, additional expenses, and missed university lectures. As a result, I had to arrange alternative travel through FlightHub and purchase another ticket to enable her to continue her journey. Aegean subsequently offered a later flight, but this was not a suitable solution given the circumstances. I consider this incident a serious failure of customer service and a failure to provide consistent and reliable travel information. I request that Aegean Airlines: Conduct a formal investigation into the refusal of boarding at Cairo airport. Review the recorded customer-service call and preserve all relevant call recordings, booking records, and airport staff reports. Provide a written explanation of why your airport staff contradicted the advice given by your customer service agent. Reimburse the additional costs I incurred as a direct result of this incident, including the replacement ticket and other documented expenses. Provide an appropriate resolution for the disruption, distress, and missed academic commitments caused by this incident. Please register this as a formal complaint, provide me with a case reference number, and respond in writing. I am prepared to submit the call recording, original itinerary, booking confirmations, replacement ticket receipt, and other supporting evidence. I look forward to your prompt and fair resolution. Yours faithfully, Mohammed Khalid Magzoub Khalid, the father of passenger Aseel Mohammed Khalid Magzoub I also have record call from Aegean Air Customer Supports who guarantee my daughter boarding without transit visa as she was Sudanese and travelling for less than 24 Hours

Problems at airport

Flight delay and missed connection. Dear Aegean Airlines Customer Relations, I am writing to formally complain about a delay and missed connection on booking reference 9YKBLM. My mother was traveling from Corfu to Larnaca, connecting in Athens. Her first flight was delayed, and she arrived in Athens at 9:50 a.m., missing her 10:20 a.m. connection. As a result, she had to wait several hours for another flight. She had been up since 6:00 a.m. with no food or drink, and this situation caused significant stress and disruption, especially given her health condition. I would appreciate a full explanation of why this occurred, information about any compensation we are entitled to, and any assistance you can provide to resolve this matter. Thank you for your attention. Sincerely, Georgia.

Formal Complaint Letter To: Aegean Airlines Customer Relations Team Subject: Formal Complaint and Request for Urgent Resolution

Dear Aegean Airlines Customer Relations Team, I am writing to lodge a formal complaint regarding a series of serious failures experienced throughout my recent attempt to travel with Aegean Airlines. These failures occurred at multiple stages of the process β€” from booking to pre travel enquiries, to airport procedures β€” and ultimately resulted in my inability to board my flight and severe distress for both myself and my two pet dogs. Booking and Pre Travel Arrangements On 15 September, I contacted your customer service team by telephone to arrange carriage for myself and my two pet dogs. During this call, I provided the weights of both animals as requested. Later the same day, I made a second call to provide the weights of the transportation boxes. I specifically asked whether the dimensions of the transportation boxes were required. Although these were not initially requested, it was agreed that they may be needed, and I subsequently provided full details. The representative confirmed that all weights and dimensions were approved for the flight. Following this confirmation, I proceeded to pay Β£560.14 for the flights, (See attachment 1 – bank statements as proof of payment). Relying on the assurance that all arrangements were correctly made and confirmed, I also booked transport to the airport at an additional cost of Β£100, (See attachment 2 – receipt of transport). Further Contact Prior to Travel On 28 September, I contacted your team again to clarify the procedure for checking in the dogs. I was informed that I should bring the dogs into the airport and check them in alongside myself. During this call, I requested assistance at the airport, as I would be unable to transport both dogs and their crates independently. I was told to go to the customer services desk upon arrival and that assistance would be provided. Events on the Day of Travel On the day of travel, the taxi driver arrived at 7:45 AM to deliver one of the transportation boxes. They were informed that assistance would be available when I arrived with the second box and the animals. I arrived at 8:45 AM, but no assistance was provided. When I attempted to check in, I was informed that only one dog had been booked, despite my booking documentation clearly stating that two dogs were included (see attachment 3 – tickets) I again requested assistance, but none was given. I made multiple attempts to obtain help from both Aegean Airlines staff and other airport personnel. Eventually, a fellow passenger helped me move the crates to your check in desk, only for me to be told that the desk had closed and that I should contact your team by telephone. I did so and was told I would receive a call backβ€”no call was ever received. I contacted your company again and was passed from department to department without speaking to anyone who could assist. Due to stress I nearly collapsed, and I had to hand the phone to a member of the airport staff from a different airline/company as this was the only person that showed me any compassion and offered any help and support. On my third attempt, I was told that at 10:00 AM I had supposedly been informed that the transportation boxes were too large for the flight. This is untrue. No such communication was made. By 4:00 PM, I was still stranded at the airport with my two dogs. It was only with the help of a member of Manchester Airport staffβ€”not Aegean Airlinesβ€”that I was finally informed that the boxes would not fit. At some point during the day, I was told I could rebook another flight for Saturday at an additional cost of Β£600+, but that the crates would still not fit. This made the option entirely unviable. Concerned for the welfare of my animals after many hours of distress, I arranged transport back to my parents’ home, incurring a further cost of Β£200 (see attachment 4 – receipt of transport return). Post Travel Attempts to Resolve the Issue Upon returning home, I contacted your company againβ€”this time as a new customerβ€”and was informed that the dimensions and weights of the crates would fit. When I asked why I had been told otherwise earlier that day, I was placed on hold and never responded to. By this point I had already acquired Β£146.01 in phone charges due to speaking with your company (See attachment – 5 – phone bill) On 2 October 2026, I made a further call and was informed that the dimensions and weights had indeed been provided by me previously, and that all calls had been recorded. This confirms that the failures I experienced were not due to missing information, but due to internal errors within your organisation. Requested Resolution and Urgency The cumulative failures in your booking process, communication, and airport support caused significant financial loss, emotional distress both to myself and my animals, and disruption. I therefore request: β€’ a full reimbursement of all expenses incurred, including flight costs, phone bill and transport costs; and β€’ appropriate compensation This matter is extremely urgent. The official travel documentation for my animals has a strictly limited validity period, and any further delay will render it unusable. I therefore require that this complaint be fully investigated and resolved within 10 days of receipt of this letter to reimburse the financial outlay I have to undertake for a second time to enable myself and animals to get home. Required Response I request a prompt, clearly structured response outlining: β€’ the findings of your investigation; β€’ the corrective actions you intend to take; and β€’ the measures you will implement to ensure a satisfactory and timely resolution. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to receiving your response within the required timeframe. Yours faithfully, Miss A Sanders.

Beirut-Milano

I am writing to follow up regarding my denied boarding complaint concerning my scheduled flight from Beirut to Milan on August 28. I submitted my complaint and received the following two case numbers: 260918-201051 260909-190028 It has now been almost one week, and I have still not received a response or any update regarding either case. As explained in my complaint, I travelled approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes to the airport for my confirmed flight. Upon arrival, I was informed that I could not board because the flight was overbooked, despite having a valid confirmed booking and having purchased my ticket. I was therefore denied boarding through no fault of my own. I would appreciate it if you could confirm that my cases have been received and are being reviewed, and provide me with an update regarding my compensation claim under EC Regulation 261/2004. I would also like to mention that I experienced a separate baggage issue during my previous journey from Beirut to Milan on August 5. My luggage was delayed for approximately 48 hours, which caused significant inconvenience and required me to make another journey of approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes to the airport to collect it. Please let me know if you require any additional information or documentation from me. I look forward to receiving your response. Kind regards,

No reason given

Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to provide you with all the relevant data and correspondence regarding our flight, which was scheduled to depart on August 15th at 11:50 AM. The flight, originally scheduled to depart at 11:50 AM Italian time, experienced a severe delay and did not take off until 6:50 PM. Initially, while we were on board and the aircraft was preparing for departure, we were informed that a technical malfunction had occurred on the tarmac. Maintenance crew then boarded the aircraft to inspect the issue. Following prolonged attempts to repair the plane, we were deplaned. We were subsequently informed that the flight was rescheduled for 6:15 PM due to technical reasons. Although we were provided with a food voucher worth 21 EUR per person, spending over 7 hours stranded at the airport had a profoundly negative impact on us. Furthermore, upon arriving at Thessaloniki Airport, I received an email notifying me that my baggage had been misrouted to Athens Airport. Although I was assured that this grievance would be resolved, my procedures at the airport were not completed until 11:00 PM. Due to consecutive errors by Aegean Airlines, more than 10 hours of my time was entirely wasted. I submitted a formal compensation claim directly to the airline on August 18th. The reference number and details of this application are attached hereto. However, I have recently noticed that my claim has inexplicably been deleted from their system without receiving any response or resolution. Given these circumstances, I kindly request your legal assistance to resolve this grievance and secure the compensation we are legally entitled to. Thank you for your time and assistance.

Both of our bags were delayed after our journey from Hamburg to Kos via Athens. We were travelling as a family of four, including our three-year-old son and nine-month-old baby. The first bag was delayed for approximately two days and the second for approximately three days. The bags contained essentially all of our clothing, underwear, toiletries and other essential items. We therefore had only the clothes we were wearing, which were unsuitable for the approximately 30Β°C weather in Kos. We had to purchase essential toiletries, underwear, socks, summer clothing and footwear for all four family members, as well as additional clothing for our two young children. We also incurred transportation costs to travel to the town to purchase these necessities. Due to the flight disruption and missed transfer, we also incurred additional costs for food and transportation. We have receipts for approximately €300 of these necessary purchases, which we are submitting. Unfortunately, we did not retain receipts for all purchases, as we paid cash for some items and did not initially know that all receipts would need to be kept. We estimate that we spent approximately €400 or more in additional necessary purchases for which receipts are unfortunately unavailable. All purchases were necessary because our luggage was unavailable and were made to provide basic clothing and personal necessities for our family, rather than for discretionary purposes. Both bags were reported at the airport. We no longer have the physical baggage tags because they were retained by the airport staff when the baggage report was filed, but the tag numbers recorded in our report are: Bag 1: A3866297 Bag 2: A3866205 We kindly ask that both delayed bags and all reasonable and necessary expenses resulting from the delay be taken into consideration, including the additional necessary purchases for which receipts are unfortunately unavailable

The airline automatically rescheduled my flight to depart from London Gatwick two days later, on the 10th of September 2026, at 16:25, instead of London Heathrow, without consulting me, which means I will have to pay an extra 70 pounds for a taxi. There was a seat available today, 09-Sep-2026, on the 22:15 flight in Athens, but they refused to move me to that flight on the grounds that it was a Business seat, not an economy seat. Communication was over the phone with their HQ in Athens. I have nothing in writing. After a long wait on the phone, they managed to get on the morning flight from Gatwick. When I inquired about the criteria by which other passengers were moved onto a flight leaving from Heathrow on the 9th of September, and you pushed me to Gatwick on the 10th of September, no answer was given.

I had a transfer flight on the 11th of August from Δ°stanbul to Athens then to Mykonos with the cooperation of star alliances Aegean and Turkish airlines. I am an Elite member meaning that my luggage has been given a priority tag for the early retrievals from the baggage claim. On the day of the incident I had seen luggages with the priority tag being claimed by the passengers at Mykonos Airport except for myself. When I went to the information desk they told me that my luggage got stuck at the Athens airport and they have forgotten to transfer my luggage due to the short layover which is an unacceptable excuse since I had already seen people claiming their priority tagged luggages from the baggage claim who were on the same Δ°stanbul-Athens-Mykonos flight that I was at. The info desk told me that I would receive my luggage within the day. Unfortunately that did not happen and I've received my luggage after approximately 31 hours and I was not going to receive it for 3 additional hours if I had not gone to the Mykonos airport and had collected my luggage by MYSELF from the airport after 31 hours. I only had 3 vacation days and I had not had my luggage for the half of the vacation so I want compensation.

I would like to request a refund for the €60 I was charged to check my pillow into the hold. I was required to put the pillow in the hold, even though I believe it should have been possible to take it as cabin baggage. I had to pay €60 for this service. When I arrived at my destination and went to collect my checked baggage, my bag was not on the baggage carousel or in the designated collection area. I had to look around the airport for it myself and eventually found it lying on the floor, among other baggage that had been left there. I believe the €60 charge was unfair and would therefore like to request reimbursement. I would also like to report the poor handling of my baggage upon arrival. I did not receive a PIR reference number, as I did not know where or how to report the issue at the airport.

We have a delayed suitcase and this delayed suitcase belongs entirely to our 10 year old daughter and contains all of her personal belongings, including all her clothes for the upcoming school season. Today, August 17th, was her very first day of the new school year. Because her luggage was delayed, she was unable to wear the specific new outfit and favorite clothes we had bought together especially for her first day of school. This situation caused immense stress and disappointment for our child on an important milestone day. To ensure she had basic essentials, appropriate clothing, and shoes for school, we were forced to make urgent last-minute purchases. We have attached all receipts for these emergency replacement purchases and expect full reimbursement under EU air passenger rights. We filed an official report at Schiphol Airport on Thursday at 12:00 PM under file reference AMSA312698. Today is Monday, 17-08-2026, and we have not received a single update or delivery notification regarding her bag.

We had to print tickets, to go somewhere where nobody was and to find new desk and to wait in a queue and we were very stressed and lost all our time.

I was denied from boarding the plane because the airline workers insisted that my visa was expired. I am a citizen of Trinidad and Tobago and I do not need a visa to enter into countries within the Schengen area. Even though I explained this to them, they would not allow me to board the flight. I believe I was discriminated against because I come from a third party country and was denied boarding. Additionally this results in me missing both my connecting flights back to Trinidad. Ultimately I was simply trying to return to my home country, and I was denied boarding and forced to miss my connections.

We were denied boarding because the QR code of my ticked suddenly gave a mistake, it couldn't be written by the systems. There was no problem with my mother's ticket but we were very stressed and she waited with me, so actually she missed the flight too. I was denied going forward with identity card which I know it is possible when there is a problem with the virtual tickets. Once happened the boarding card of a wizzair flight do disappear from their website and the stuff checked my place in the plane with my identity card. We were said to go print the two tickets but at first no one was at the desks we understood we had to go, after that we went to other desks and we had to wait. We lost so much time. We missed the plane. I think this was absolutely unacceptable in the 21st century with so much methods with verification. Also, after the plane departured, suddenly my QR code renewed...We lost money, over 250 euro for short flight from Athens to Sofia due to digital problems which I am sure come from the company. We had to sleep at the airport and buy new tickets. I am thankful we came safe home the next morning, this is the most important thing, but we should have catched the plane the day before. Nowadays almost every airline stimulates digital boarding passes but when there is a problem with the systems and barcodes and QR codes we should secure our place with the information in the email and our identity cards, not to search printers and wait on quees and go around the big airports as crazy. The stuff can read and understand. Please, we would like refund. Thank you!

Leaving me without baggage for 3 and a half days ruined my holiday in Athens, where I went for 5 days only , 3 and a half days were wasted going shopping for essential items instead of siteseeing as planned, making numerous phone calls to find out information without receiving up to date information about my suitcase as it was not uploaded on Eagean's system regularly which prevented me from making any plans, so I had to buy almost everything I needed , caused me enormous stress and prevented me from taking my prescription medications,which I had in my suitcase, for three days and on the forth day I had to wait from 9 am to 2pm for the baggage delivery and they called me only 5 minutes before the delivery.

Claim escalated to airline

Dear Baggage Claims Team, I would like to report damage to my suitcase that occurred during my recent flight with your airline. I would like to be transparent and mention that the suitcase had sustained minor damage during a previous journey with another airline. However, it remained fully functional and suitable for travel. Following my flight with your airline, the suitcase suffered significantly more extensive damage. The existing crack became much larger, severely affecting the structural integrity of the suitcase and making it no longer fit for normal use. I have attached photographs showing the current condition of the suitcase and kindly ask you to assess the damage caused during my flight. Please let me know if you require any additional information. Kind regards, Diana Krasimirova

Problems at airport

On January 4, 2026, I was scheduled to fly from Athens to Larnaca at 15:40. Approximately one hour before departure, I received a notification that my flight had been canceled. The airline cited technical issues with the Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority’s (HCAA) radio frequency systems as the reason for the cancellation. Upon receiving the news, I found myself in a completely chaotic Athens International Airport. Despite the widespread disruption, Aegean Airlines failed to provide any ground staff, information desks, or customer service representatives to guide affected passengers. No assistance with rerouting was offered, nor was any standard "duty of care" provided. As a practicing psychologist working within an organization that supports women fighting breast cancer, it was absolutely critical and urgent that I return to Cyprus. My patients rely on me for essential, time-sensitive psychological support, and I could not afford to be indefinitely stranded due to an airline's operational failure. Left entirely abandoned by airline personnel, and facing a professional emergency where I could not delay my return, I had no choice but to take matters into my own hands. I independently sourced and purchased the earliest available replacement ticket to Larnaca, which cost me €313.57 out of pocket. Following the incident, I contacted Aegean Airlines by phone. While they did issue a refund for the unused portion of my original ticket, they have failed to reimburse me for the €313.57 I was forced to spend on alternative transport due to their complete lack of airport presence. In January 2026, I escalated the matter by filing a formal complaint with the Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority (HCAA). Nearly six months have passed, and I have yet to receive a substantive response or an update on my case. I am seeking legal assistance to recover the €313.57 in out-of-pocket expenses. Under EU Regulation 261/2004, an airline's duty to provide care and immediate rerouting support is absolute. Because Aegean Airlines abandoned its passengers at the airport, leaving me with no choice but to self-reroute to meet my urgent professional obligations to cancer patients, I am legally entitled to be reimbursed for the expenses incurred as a direct result of that failure.

Athens-Bucharest

Economy

This complaint is not about denied boarding, but I could not find another option that was closer to my situation. My situation is as follows: I purchased and paid for a seat in the exit row, as shown in the attached EMD. At check-in, I was denied that seat because I had a walking cane. However, the cane is only for support; I do not have mobility issues or any other condition, and I did not request assistance. The check-in staff refused to assign me the seat I had purchased and instead gave me a seat in the last row of the aircraft, as shown on the attached boarding pass. While I understand that operational decisions may occasionally be necessary, in this case I was unable to use a service that I had purchased in advance and for which I had paid an additional fee. Furthermore, I was reassigned to a significantly less desirable seat without being provided with a clear and reasonable justification. Accordingly, I request not only a refund of the seat-selection fee, but also additional compensation for the inconvenience and loss of the benefit that I reasonably expected to receive when purchasing that seat.

No reason given

There was a delay of flight A3 489 Brussels International Airport to LΓ‘rnaka International Airport on Cyprus, scheduled for April 24th, 2026. My booking reference for this flight is Agency Reservation Code G9NWCP. The flight was scheduled to depart at 19:00 and arrive at 23:59. However, the flight was significantly delayed and did not arrive at the final destination until 12:00 on the following day (on April 25th, 2026, resulting in a total delay of 12 hours). Due to the delay, I also expect to be reimbursed for the payment of one night at the hotel, which was already paid for, as per the attached reservation and payment receipt. This amount represents 1/5 of the total value, corresponding to €234.00

No reason given

The flight from Naxos to Athens was delayed without prior notice, so we lost our coincidence flight from Athens to Milan: first it was scheduled at 16:10 (like you can see in the booking confirmation), but after we checked the return flight two days before the departure, it was at 16:50. With the flight from Athens departing right at 17:35 it was impossible to board in time. The girl at the infopoint told us the first flight available to Milan was the next morning at 8:35, she checked us in for the flight and got us an hotel reservation for the night. I tried to claim the 400 euros myself with an e-mail to the costumer service, but they after 2 months rejected it claiming that the delay wasn't their responsibility.

Athens-Kavala

Economy

Dear Customer Relations Team, I would like to submit a formal complaint regarding an incident that occurred on flight A3 154 from Athens to Kavala on 7 March 2026. I had completed digital check-in and had my electronic boarding pass on my mobile phone. I arrived at Gate B29 at approximately 05:40, well before the scheduled departure time of the flight. There were airline staff present at the gate and I was waiting for the boarding process to begin. However, no clear announcement or information was provided to passengers. After a short time the staff left the gate area without giving any instructions. When I approached the gate again to check what was happening, there was an indication that the gate might have changed. I went to a nearby gate to ask for information and was informed that boarding had already closed. I then located an airport staff member and explained that I had been at the assigned gate in advance and that my flight was departing. I was told that the gate was closed and that I should address the matter elsewhere. The behavior I encountered was particularly rude and dismissive, and there was no willingness to assist or provide a proper explanation. As a result of this situation, I was forced to purchase a new ticket at the airport in order to travel, at a total cost of €109,98 (€86,98 fare and €23 airport taxes). Given that I had completed check-in and was present at the assigned gate in time and ready to board, I kindly ask you to investigate this incident and proceed with: β€’ the reimbursement of the €109,98 I paid for the new ticket β€’ the compensation provided under EU Regulation 261/2004 concerning air passenger rights, which amounts to €250 for short-haul flights in cases of denied boarding. Please find attached my boarding pass and the receipt for the new ticket. I would appreciate your review of this matter and your response regarding the reimbursement and compensation. Kind regards, Vasiliki Lamprou

Notable Types of Aegean Airlines Complaints

Based on our research as part of our study on the best European airlines, in 2022 and 2023, Aegean had the following track record:

Year

On-Time Percentage

Cancellation Percentage

2022

76.20%

0.63%

2023

0.67%

warning

Aegean runs roughly 70,000 flights every year, so that means over 16,000 flights can be delayed. Alternatively, over 400 flights get cancelled, so these are generally the most common types of Aegean Airlines complaints.

Another issue that passengers can experience relates to denied boarding when the airline bumps you from your ticketed seat. Instances of mishandled luggage are also a common reason for an Aegean Airlines complaint. 

Aside from lost, damaged, or delayed bags, passengers may feel inclined to complain about service issues. Unhappy with the booking process? Were you treated poorly onboard the plane? Aegean Airlines complaints for unsatisfactory service can benefit the airline and you. They get to improve, and for your trouble, you may receive a future travel credit or discount.

Getting acquainted with your Aegean Airlines passenger rights

Aegean Airlines Passenger Rights

Since Aegean is based in Greece, an EU member state, they are bound by a regulation called EU 261 for any flights within, from, or to Europe. Luckily, this single regulation will define how the airline is required to respond to complaints related to flight disruptions, among other things.

For flight delays and flight cancellations, passengers can receive between €250 and €600 as compensation, depending on the flight details. Delays need to be at least 3 hours, and cancellations have to be made without a minimum of 14 days' notice to qualify.

The Montreal Convention specifies how airlines need to handle luggage complaints, but in certain scenarios, passengers who make Aegean Airlines complaints can get up to €1,300.

Checklist for Aegean Airlines Complaints

Once you return from your flight and are considering Aegean Airlines after travel complaints, there are a few things to keep in mind:

  • Be proactive. The longer you leave the Aegean complaint, the more likely you are to misplace necessary documents or forget pertinent details.
  • Keep everything. Until your Aegean complaint is resolved, keep everything related to your flight and the core issue. This means photos, receipts, boarding passes, etc. It’s likely that these items will be needed to validate the complaint. 
  • Don’t forget YOUR details. Aegean may need to contact you with questions, so to avoid delays, provide a direct phone number and an email address you can check regularly.  
  • Stick to specifics. Facts are your friend, so be clear about what happened and what you expect from the airline. Referencing your EU 261 rights is also a good idea for Aegean complaints about flight disruptions.
