Problems at airport
Due to a technical issue at the Athens airport El. Venizelos on Sunday 04.01.2026, my flight was canceled. We were informed only after waiting at the airport for at least two more hours after boarding was expected. Next available flight was on Wednesday (3 days after and costed 400€). I payed for another flight planned for Sunday 11.01. (has been attached). I have applied for a refund of my canceled flight which I have already received. Confirmation of refund attached.- Athens-Schonefeld

To the Aegean Airlines Customer Service Team, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint following a denied boarding on flight A3621 from Brussels (BRU) today, December 25th, 2025. Upon arrival at the check-in counter, I was informed that the flight was overbooked. Despite my presence at the airport, I was not allowed to board and was not issued a boarding pass. The staff displayed a sign (photograph attached) promising compensation for passengers who could not fly. According to your company’s policy and EU Regulation (EC) No 261/2004, I am entitled to: 1. A fixed compensation of €400. 2. A free ticket (complimentary voucher) for any future flight on the Aegean network, as promised on your official display. 3. Re-routing or a full refund. Passenger Name: OZ CENNET Booking Reference (PNR): 74F37C I expect a prompt response regarding the payment of my compensation and the issuance of my free ticket. Best regards, OZ CENNETOverall

Terrible service in general.
17:10 was the departure time, myself and two other passengers were denied entrance at 17:00 with the explanation being that the door closes 20 minutes before departure. In our tickets the boarding time was 16:40. So that lives as with 10 minutes for all the passengers to board. With no announcement before hand, and with the board signing "go to the gate" which gate we were searching about 30 minutes. I don't see any respect to the passengers who pay the aegean airline neither for themselves nor their time and money.- Lisbon-Athens

Verspätung und lange Wartezeit
Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to submit a claim for compensation under EU Regulation 261/2004 regarding the disruption to the following flight: Our trip on 24 November 2025 from Frankfurt to Athens to Tel Aviv (Aegean Airlines, booking code 7HK5SW, flight numbers A3 831 and A3 926) was significantly disrupted due to substantial delays. The first flight was delayed by approximately one hour, resulting in us missing our scheduled connecting flight to Tel Aviv. Consequently, we arrived at our final destination 6 hours and 45 minutes later than planned. We were rebooked onto a later replacement flight, ultimately arriving in Tel Aviv at 00:55 instead of the originally scheduled time of 18:10. The total delay amounted to nearly seven hours. Under EU Regulation 261/2004, passengers are entitled to compensation of €600 per person for an arrival delay of more than three hours on a route of more than 3,500 km. These conditions clearly apply in our case. I therefore kindly request that the corresponding amount be transferred to the following bank account within 14 days: Name: Ranin Einuz IBAN: DE82 6945 0065 1151 6939 92 BIC: SOLADES1VSS Thank you

It was the only flight that was cancelled due to bad weather, the other flight from Rhodes to Thessaloniki left at the same time, ours tried to land 3 times apparently when it returned to Athens the next boarding passenger on the 7pm flight to Rhodes we’re told it was a mechanical issue and were delayed 1 hour but that delayed 7pm flight and the 8.40pm arrived into Rhodes. We were then reschedule for 12 .40am to Athens, we missed a night in Bucharest and our accomodation that was paid for. The reason for bad weather is a lie and we had to wait 9 hours at the airport. I would like a refund for the inconvenience the airline caused me.- Rhodos-Bucharest

2 hours delay, no sufficient and honest explanation
2 hours delay for a 35' flight They blame the work on the Athens airport but they could have used more planes during the day so that the delays would not accumulate.Overall

During our stay in Greece, me and my husband did the check-in for our return flight to Lisbon on November 4, and in that moment we discovered that our flight from Athens to Lisbon wasn’t correct. We called the airline to understand the situation, and only then we were informed that our flight at 20:00 (November 5) was cancelled and we were put in an early flight at 08:35 in the same morning, which was impossible to happen since we were in Crete at that time and were supposed to arrive in Athens at 19:30. We never received any information about the cancellation of our flight, my booking still has the original informations, but also the flight from Athens to Lisbon was a connecting flight, so how come the airline changed this flight to an earlier flight and don’t mind the original departure? I bought tickets from Heraklion to Lisbon, so how were we supposed to be in Athens at 08:35 in the morning without changing the flight from Heraklion?- Heraklion-Lisbon

There was no representative member of Aegean Airlines at the airport. So, the airline did not tell us nothing about the cancellation, We took notice of that only by the airport sound warning system. We were advised to go to the Passenger Assistance desk and we were told to buy another ticket not to lose the conexions we had at the same day, from Athens to Paris and then from Paris to Rio de Janeiro. We had arrived in Athens around 06.10pm, just some minutes before the check in for the next conexion. It was very upsetting and made us nervous about losing two other flights that would bring us home after 18 days. And, more importantly, we are talking about an intercontinental flight, we are aged passengers and our ticket did not allow us to lose or postpone any of the flights. It provoked us to spend 1000,04 Euros- Dubrovnik-Athens

My flight from Athens to Sofia was delayed twice. I was informed that the flight was delayed from 2:30 PM to 4:00 PM. After more than an hour, I was informed again that the new time was 5:20 PM. This left me mentally and physically exhausted, and I ran out of money. I was late for an important appointment in the evening. Please compensate me for this delaysOverall

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing on behalf of the five passengers under booking reference ZPZ4DT (Andrianaki Aikaterini, Klimanoglou Antonios, Klimanoglou Theologos, Tsapas Dimitrios, and Palchasta Zoryana), who travelled on flight A3 691 from Nice to Athens on 28 September 2025. This flight was delayed for almost three hours, yet no official announcement or timely information was provided to passengers at the airport during the waiting period. Furthermore, we received an official notification regarding this delay only five days after the actual flight date, which is unacceptable and not in line with proper passenger communication standards. In addition, during the extended waiting period, no basic care was offered (such as water, refreshments, or snacks), as is expected and required in cases of significant delays under Regulation (EC) 261/2004. In light of the above, we respectfully request: A clear explanation of the cause of this delay and the lack of proper communication. Information regarding our full passenger rights under Regulation (EC) 261/2004. A partial refund/compensation of the tickets, given the absence of timely information and the lack of care provided, which resulted in significant inconvenience. We trust that Aegean Airlines will handle this matter with the seriousness it deserves and provide a fair resolution to our request.- Nice-Athens

The first flight (Eagean airline) from Erbil to Athena was delayed, the plane supposed to leave 3:45am but left at 4:30am. The second flight left at 7:40am we got to the airport at 8:00am because of the first flight. Then We spoke to Eagean Airline thank god they solved the issue by getting us ticket to go to Sweden from Sweden to Oslo and from Oslo to Manchester. Another problem we have is we still don’t have our baggages and it’s been 3 days since our baggages delayed. Hopefully we will get compensation because this journey was extremely difficult and over that we have food inside one of the bags that will go bad. Also, my power bank is missing, it was taken from one of the bags.- Erbil-Manchester

Original itinerary: Cairo → Athens → Malta on [date] Rerouting provided: Athens → Istanbul → Malta on [30.09.25] Actual arrival: more than 24 hours after the scheduled arrival time in Malta Due to the delay of my initial flight, I missed my connection in Athens. The flight from Athens to Malta was effectively cancelled for me, and I was only rebooked the following day via Istanbul. This resulted in a full-day delay in reaching my destination and the loss of two working days. I have already completed your online EU261 claim form, which calculated a compensation of €400. However, given the exceptional disruption — including the effective cancellation of my Athens–Malta connection, the fact that I was forced to return home a day later than planned, and the significant professional and personal losses incurred — I respectfully request that you reconsider and provide a higher level of compensation. I also kindly request reimbursement of the additional expenses I incurred (meals, accommodation, transport), for which receipts are attached. I look forward to your prompt reply and a fair resolution.- Cairo-Malta

My Heraklion-Athens flight had a 1 hour delay and, because of that, I lost the Athens-Porto flight by a few minutes. And so, I had to sleep 1 night in Athens to catch a fligh to Athens-Paris and only then to Paris-Porto, which made me lost 1 day of work. Instead of arriving in Porto on the 25th of September at 22:40h, I only arrived on the 26th of September at 15:30h.- Heraklion-Porto

Our first flight was annulated on 20 September 2025 Flight number: A3539 (BRUSSELS TO THESSALONIKI) Second flight A3505 was also annulated on 20 September 2025 Third flight A3623 (BRUSSELS TO ATHENS AND THEN THESSALONIKI) From the evening of 20 September 20:00 until 24 September we had no luggage with us, my luggage arrived that day and my suitcase was totally damaged. Our first concern was our luggage we contacted them (Thessaloniki airport0) and our concern now is we had to wait a whole day in Brussels and we arrived at midnight in Athens, waiting there a whole night and for a flight next day on 21 September.- Brussels-Thessaloniki

According to the Flight Delay Notice, attached among the documents, the Athens–Singapore flight, which was scheduled to depart at 16:05 on 21.03.2025, actually departed at 23:00 on the same day, resulting in a delay of 7 hours. The arrival time in Singapore was 15:50 the next day, i.e., on 22.03.2025, whereas under normal circumstances, without the delay, we would have arrived at 08:55 on 22.03.2025. Through the Flight Delay Notice, attached among the documents, the airline announced the delay due to technical issues, without, however, providing any further details. Facilities provided by the airline: all passengers received a voucher worth €20 for food and drinks at an airport restaurant, and the airline arranged an alternative flight from Singapore to Denpasar, considering that due to the delay we could no longer make our connecting flight. The delay disrupted our planned schedule.- Bucharest-Denpasar

My flight from Lisbon to Athens (A3721) was delayed by 1 hr. Due to this my connected flight from Athen to Tbilisi (A3896) boarded and flew without me. Aegean customer service let me wait for 1-1,5hrs, in Athens airport and than provided me by tickets of Turkish airlines (Athens -> Istanbul -> Tbilisi) that was planned on 23rd of July 3:55 AM. As a result I have arrived in Tbilisi at 10:05 AM instead of 03:50 AM. Due to this inconvenience I couldn't attend the important client call at my workplace and couldn't work half of the workday which is about 150 EUR loss for me.- Lisbon-Tbilisi

Μου ήρθε e mail για αλλαγή της κράτησης μου εμένα και της οκταχρονης κόρης μου, επικοινώνησα με την εταιρία για να βρουν μια λύση στο πρόβλημα μου επειδή δεν θέλω να ταξιδεύω τόσο αργά με μικρό παιδί, κατάφεραν να μου βρουν μόνο για έναν επιβάτη πιο νωρίς πτήση αλλά δεν γίνεται να χωριστώ και να ταξιδέψει το παιδί μόνο του.
