The only issue was a short window to make my connecting flight, and nobody to assist me in finding my way to the next gate.

The only issue was a short window to make my connecting flight, and nobody to assist me in finding my way to the next gate.

This is my first time flying Aegean Air and I had a great first time experience. I will fly this airline again.

There was not any food and I didn't use the entertainment

Just ok. No much of a great travel experience. If you need point A to B they are ok.

Η πτήση εμφάνισε μεγάλη καθυστέρηση και λαμβάνοντας υπόψη το γεγονός ότι επρόκειτο για την τελευταία βραδυνή πτήση, ήταν ιδιαίτερα κουραστικό για τους επιβαίνοντες.

More leg room, great if crew could move people before flight (ie if 3 in a row, offer to move 1 or 2 to an empty 3 seat row rather than let people move themselves after takeoff

Θα πρέπει να υπάρχει εστίαση στη γρήγορη και εύκολη επιβίβαση/αποβίβαση

Flight was late, boarding totally chaotic, seat uncomfortable, food good, attendants and pilots good.

Priority transfer bag left behind in Amsterdam causing extreme difficulty and inconvenience on arrival destination Athens

different entrance during the boarding for gold members and business class
