Super helpful personnel. Airbus 320neo, new and comfortable plane. Could offer also tea and sparkling water as courtesy.

Basic charter flight, ok for 2.5 hours. Cabin crew could have a better attitude.

Plane from Skiathos was 40mins late and we arrived at Athens in a completely different terminal to the departure gate. Myself and my daughter had to run for over 15mins to get to the gate at the far end terminal and we made the flight by 3 mins. The distance from arrival and departure should have been explained, so very stress full of r myself and daughter.

The weight and balance of the aircraft was wrong. It took the ground staff 2 hours to find a forklift to reposition a large heavy crate from the back cargo hold to the front cargo hold. I watched this from my seat. The pilots told us we would be 20 minutes then another 10 minutes delayed waiting on the tower to release us.

There was a departure delay of at least one hour. We also waited in line for 40 minutes and then in the bus for 20 minutes.

It was a short flight so food and entertainment wasn’t necessary

The flight went well, but boarding via a shirtless bus was unpleasant

My flight was supposed to leave at 8:35 and arrive at 9:35. The plane took off at 9:20 and we arrived after 10am. Horrible experience and zero organisation.

Relatively good for a LCC, free water and a biscuit, free standard seat selection at check-in. Just be wary of legroom if you're tall, and the boarding process was very disorganised with no announcements and no queue management.

Do not check bags with Sky Express! We were flying from the Milos airport to Athens. Sky Express lost our checked bags. We were on our way to a wedding in Athens.. In fact, more than half of the flight’s passengers had their bags lost / left at the terminal. This was not a large plane (~50 people), so having left that many bags at a very very small airport where there was only one other flight (from another carrier) scheduled that day, is a ridiculously large oversight. Our bags were sent on a meandering ferry to Athens the following day, to arrive at our hotel 3 days later, but it was too late to be helpful. We had to buy outfits and toiletries, etc when we arrived for the event. We are filing a claim with Sky Express for partial reimbursement.
