    If you are continuing your journey by ferry after your flight to Thera, you will find Athinios Port located on the opposite side of the island. As taxi rank queues can be long and there is no direct bus (you would need to change in Fira), it is best to pre-book a shuttle bus or private transfer. Santorini Transport offers a minibus for 15€ (£13) per person or a private car (up to 4 passengers) for 55€ (£47) per vehicle.

  • Are there any hotels near to Thera Santorini/Thira Airport?

    Several accommodation options are located near the airport for tired travellers arriving on late flights to Thera.

The bus departs every few hours from outside the terminal building and costs 1,70€ (£1.50) for a journey that takes around 25min. The bus is often overcrowded with passengers standing in the aisles, so a private taxi or transfer may be a more comfortable option.

  • What shopping opportunities are available at Thera Santorini/Thira Airport?

    Thera Airport is small and offers few shopping opportunities to travellers. Besides a duty-free shop in the Departures zone you will find a small shop in Arrivals that sells local SIM cards to travellers on flights to Thera keen to get connected for local rates.

    Most commercial airlines will charge just 10% of the adult airfare if the baby is seated on the lap of the parent and is under 2 years of age. The parent will get a safety belt extender to accommodate both passengers. Airlines such as SWISS and British Airways will provide a bassinet for when the child needs to sleep.

  • Can I fly on British Airways with a service animal?

    Most airlines will allow a service animal to join you in the cabin at no additional cost. British Airways will welcome your furry companion on condition it has up-to-date paperwork stipulating its training certification and inoculations history. Harnessing the animal will be essential to the assurance of your fellow passengers.

  • What airline offers good mobility assistance?

    You will find most airlines are compliant with mobility assistance. They require a 48 hour pre-booking so the crew can be informed of what’s needed to prepare. British Airways will collect you at the Departures gate, store your mobility device, familiarise you with the plane, assist to and from restrooms and even help with the packaging of your food.

  • Can I hire a car from Santorini Airport (JTR)?

    Absolutely. The car hire company desks are found at the Arrivals Hall and there are a number of companies that you can choose from, most of which will come collect you to fetch the vehicle. These include Thrifty, Avis, Hertz, SIXT, Europcar, Alamo and Budget.

Your guide to booking Thera flights

From booking to airport arrival, find tips to help you plan your flight with more confidence.

Apart from the delay, it was very good. Crew were great and the plane was great - looked like a newer one.

Apart from the delay, it was very good. Crew were great and the plane was great - looked like a newer one.

Generally excellent but a couple of areas could be improved. After boarding we were delayed a full 20 mins whilst various ground crew, flight crew, captain faffed around counting and recounting passengers. Said discrepancy between computer and manual. All OK in the end. So why o why did it take 20 mins to find all OK? No sense of urgency shown Secondly the seat base is just not supportive/resilienfor a 4½ hour journey - backside really aching by journey end.

The staff are just so friendly travelling alone was a bit scary but they made me feel comfortable and nothing was to much bother I loved how one of the girls was talking to the old ladies she really took time thank you jet2 shame I can’t get home with u guys 🥲

On time flight. Reasonable comfortable but a bit cramped. Excellent jet 2 staff as usual.

A good flight with friendly crew and check-in but disembarking was chaotic and badly managed

Flights were on time, boarding was straight forward. Very good attentive staf

Delays on both journeys - only found out before geting to the airport as had created trip within Kayak.

There is nothing I can think.of that jet2 need to improve They offer a great package. Very efficient

All was good but they should bring back seat pockets. It’s difficult trying to travel with small children and keep having to get stuff out of flight bag and then have nowhere to put it!

The flight was okay, seats slightly more comfortable than Easy jet, but wouldn’t want to fly much more than 3.5 hours in those seats, hard and uncomfortable for further journeys. Boarding was okay, never eat or drink on Eco airlines, food not good and expensive for what you get. But it is what it is, and for the price one can not really complain.

Boarded and sat on plane for 3.5 hours before taking off, Updates infrequent and no refreshments offered.

We had a delay. That made me feel anxious because I arrived out of time

On time was excellent, not serving any water and deliberate seatings apart is deplorable.

Flight delayed by almost two hours. On boarding we were hold in the transfer bus, with no air conditioning and almost 40 degree C outside, in front of the airplane for a long time.

Very good, staff seemed to check random cabin bags for size pre boarding.

Seats very uncomfortable for a 4 hour flight, what entertainment? Food overpriced. But sure it’s Ryan Air, what else would I expect?

Θα ήταν καλύτερα να προσφέρουν ένα μπουκάλι νερό δωρεάν και καφέ .

The Ryanair staff was not polite. We all travelled with the same suitcases as we departed from Thessaloniki, however they decided that for some passengers the suitcase was not the rigth one as far as the dimensions are concerned. Furthermore, one air stewardess asked passengers to close themselves the luggage cabinet in order to prove that the lugagge was not properly fitted, which i think is very unkind and unprofessional. We also had to wait outside , some metres away from the plane until last passengers came off....It was generally a dissapointing experience.

Great flight and reminded that the logistics completely Astoria. No real story about victors, m

it s a budget flight, crew was doing their job well, it was on time.

There was a delay because they had to switch planes it wasn’t explained very well nor were there updates.

Flight was two hours delayed then instead of flying to Gatwick we got diverted to Southend airport! Then they cancelled our flight and we all got told we had to get off the plane and make our own way to wherever we had to go? EasyJet just abandoned us, no help and as a tourist not knowing even where I was? Disgusting behaviour from the company!!

I’ve always flew with Ryan, but never again I’ll always fly with easyJet

There was no useful information given regarding the flight back to the UK from Tenerife. This despite the week publicised problems around the EES system and the delays caused to boarding. This aspect of the customer experience could have been much better.

Fast boarding, smooth takeoff and landing. plenty of space in seats. Excellent air-conditioning on a hot day. Perfect experience

Whole way through - far more professional and slick than I expected

Sitting on the last row in between the aisle and a massive person, all people going to the bathroom bumped into me including the flight attendants.

The best budget airline in Europe. Flight was on time, crew friendly and worked hard during flight and were able to meet our needs. Only downside (not the airline's fault), there were no rear steps.

It was transportation nothing more. I will give a positive rating over Ryanair. We missed our Ryanair flight the night before and received rude and unconcerned treatment from the Ryanair customer service. It was late. We were very tired and stressed after doing our best to get to the airport. The so called customer service ladies were completely unconcerned from the start. Aside from that, the flight to London seemed to be their opportunity for advertising. No time to relax as attendants were constantly in the aisle selling. I will never fly Ryanair again!!

Would have liked the plane to leave on time so I didn’t miss connection upon arrival. Some pathetic excuse as to late departure bought about by easyJet incompetence

Our section of the aircraft in premium economy was very cold. We asked the attendants twice to raise the heat but it never happened. Even with the blanket it was chilly for 10 1/2 hours

Really slow transfer after getting off the plane at Manchester, and lost luggage! Take the train, terrible experience on arrival

Because kayak scammed me with false advertisement saying 23kg was included but I ended up having to pay another £200

The flight was canceled and I was directed to Air France two days later than my plan departure day. This involve getting two more days of hotel and also not being able to get a boarding pass until I got to the Istanbul Air France boarding desk. It has been a troubling time.

Very bad check in service. They hardly spoke of any English - at least in a way to communicate. Downgraded from Business due to seat malfunction. Could not even allocate a seat in economy with an empty seat next to me. So called manager at check in was a total waste of time

It's hard to tell where to plug in electronics, and the port on my seat didn't work. Their entertainment system was down. Vegetarian food options were tasty. Friendly, helpful flight attendants.

Our flight BA638 was cancelled with very short notice. It was supposed to depart at 7:25am. We had left Chichester at 3:30am in order to make the flight, and we were notified of the cancellation while en route to LHR. We were told the cancellation was necessary because a plane had not been scheduled to be at LHR for this flight! We were rescheduled to BA636. This flight was supposed to depart at 11:00am but didn't actually take off until ~12:30pm. Consequently we arrived in Athens several hours late, missing out on half a day of our sightseeing time. We had booked transport with MyTransfers to pick us up at the Athens airport and drive us to our Hotel Adonis. I was unable to get a refund for this service because our flight was so delayed. They required 24 hour notice of pick up time changes. I instead had to pay for a taxi at the airport. I have tried to fill out a request for compensation online but have been unsuccessful. How can I get help for filing a claim?

They could do everything better!! From the rickety plane to the flight attendants, when American Airlines is operated by British Airways, their standards are lowered! It’s like Macy’s, operated by Walmart!!

It was ok but not at a business class standard No entertainment system available which is poor for a 3+ hour journey Food was ok and service was good though

Late boarding with inconsistent excuses. Bulk head seats were very small and uncomfortable. 1 tiny candy bar and a water were only food provisions. Food for purchase was unavailable.

Far easier than I expected it to be. Checked in online & had our boarding passes emailed through. Straight through security & boarded on time. No issues.

Very efficient boarding. Plane lready for take ooff10 minutes before time.

Both of my flights had issues with their time slot with air traffic control, so they left over an hour late and the flight back to London was delayed by over an hour. Please provide more clarity about baggage requirements on booking sites, your website and within the app. I had to pay for extra bags at the airport when departing London, because they didn’t specify that your carry on bag can only be a backpack and not a trolley, my trolley bag fit the size requirements of the backpack but still I was made to pay

It’s a budget airline. You get what you pay for. They insisted on getting us out of the gate and into our slot on time. They got us to the destination safely. Aircraft was clean and well maintained. What more could we want

Were delayed in the airport for 5 hours with no explanation. Flight kept getting delayed by an hour at a time and wizz air staff were no where to be found

It's a budget airline. Great for short flight. Smooth landing.

4 hr delay and only told less than 2hrs before. Only given water and nuts on the flight as complimentary service. Left to wait in rain before boarding.

To be honest I did not like anything. Communication to why my flight was cancelled mid air 2 and half hours into my flight. Customer service desk were not helpful with providing information or a solution on what can be done.

What I liked new airplane Sitting was extremely uncomfortable! Crew not smiley at all Always chewing gum

The flight was cancelled just 4 hours before the take off...
