TRIP REPORT

Written by George Papathanasiou

Following my previous flight from Zurich to Podgorica with Air Montenegro and a stop to visit the Ostrog Monastery, I arrived at the airport for my next flight to Athens, noticing how little and modern the terminal is.

The departure area is nice, even though there were two Ryanair flights, and it was crowded.

Aegean Airlines (operated by Olympic Air) does not offer online check-in from this airport so you have to go to the counter which opened 2 hours before departure.

After getting the boarding pass, you cannot go through passport control; you have to wait for them to announce when to start to queue to go through passport and security check.

It is a small airport and with 3 flights it was very crowded. Also, I noticed that all flights were boarded by walking up to the plane.

Our ATR72 arrived on time and two staff members were conducting the boarding process. When the doors opened, we walked to the airplane.

I was lucky to be in the 19th row which means you get to disembark first from the ATR upon arrival. We climbed the stairs and got seated. Legroom is just bearable, but what to expect from a small plane. Olympic Air does not offer business class.

I heard the ground staff speaking with the flight attendant, that boarding completed and there were 55 passengers. The crew greeted the passengers by handing out candy before departure.

The departure process started on time, with the physical safety demonstration, after which we started taxiing.

It was dark by now as we were leveling up. Our flight would be 1 hour 40 minutes.

Soon after departure they started the in-flight service. There were two choices of sandwiches. One option with roasted pepper/eggplant and the other was with turkey.

I had to take a picture of the wc before landing, which was so small that I could not upon closing the door.

We reached ATH on time and another trip come to an end.

Till next time….
