It’s my favourite airline to fly in Europe and they take special care of families. It’s a national carrier Greece can be proud of.
We’re flying in August, peak European summer holidays. Even on a Wednesday, Geneva Airport is heaving in every zone. Travelling with only a carry-on, we don’t even sneak a peek at the Aegean Airlines counter. Online, I can see the flight is almost full, and we head directly for the lengthy, snaking security line.I’m on a light fare, which includes an 8-kilogram carry-on bag – plenty to fit swimmers and snorkel as I splash into summer.Miles + Bonus within the Star Alliance.
There are no power or USB outlets, which I find a little surprising, even on a short-haul route.Befitting a nation that kicks goals in design, the uniforms are a stylish navy with a red and white stripe and striking coral lipstick shade, which somehow works. There are four welcoming and friendly crew and I watch with interest as a passenger attempts to stuff a dog in a dog carrier below a window seat at an angle that Fluffy is not enjoying.
