    Brand new airplanes with wide seets and lots of leg room. unfortunately no entertainment system.

    Breakfast was eggs with saucage, yogurt, health bar, 2 chocolates and beverages.

    nice and helpful staff (much improved from old company)

    excellent magazines (inflight)

    helpful pilot (made announcements in Greek english and French)

    Flight not by Olympic but Athens Airways and I would avoid them for the time as everything is changing and the aircraft we travelled on was old, tired and fault ridden. The cabin lights continually flashed off and on, seat mountings had either broken or missing plastic covers and worrying bolts stuck out at knee level. Life jackets hung free under the seats and the toilet smelled high right from the start, in flight movie without earphones, announcements, apart from the pilot were pijin English, ...

    Unable to use Olympic Airlines "NEW" online web check-in service as it only allowed you to fly from one Greek island to another. What a truly international airline!

    Plane did not show up at all. No explanation was given. No information on how to leave the island to meet up with connecting flights. Told next 7 days booked solid so we could all have another weeks holidays! Everyone missed their connecting flights and it cost us £500 to get to Athens. A one-off? Are you joking? Exactly the same thing on the same route with Olympic Airlines happened to us last year. Be warned!!

    Well maintained aircraft, clean cabins, friendly staff. Delays in scheduled international flights. Olympic Airlines is a small to medium size company with medium range network focussing on the short connections European and the core middle east.

    Long delays, rude cabin staff, rude ground staff, rude overall, screens most of them don't work in the plane, most seat personal radios don't work so you have to keep moving in the plane until you find a seat that works, just to name a few...

    I had read very bad reviews of Olympic Airlines prior to traveling and was quite apprehensive but was pleasantly surprised. I especially was impressed by the sandwiches and drinks in the galley for anyone to take between meals on the return flight.

    Having maritime business interests in RHO, I fly to the islands often, and with Aegean whenever possible.The Greek people are a warm and friendly lot, but they surely deserve much better than this for the national flag carrier.

    Booked flights for Greece for my honeymoon 3 months in advance on Expedia. 3 weeks prior to departure, Olympic Airlines Athens Mykonos leg changed without notice, contacted Expedia who contacted Olympic, was on hold for two hours waiting for a resolution from Olympic. Optional flights did not fit my hotel and sightseeing itineraries. Point being I was charged for a flight for a specific day and paid the bill, done deal. I feel that I should have been placed on any Olympic flight for that spec ...

    Having taken a chance on Olympic I am glad we did as both the flight and the service were great. I had read the reviews on this site with interest before we left and being a nervous flyer was dreading the experience. However I was pleased to find that my worries were not warranted as the flight was on time, smooth and far better than imagined. Although the plane interior had obviously seen better days it was clean and spacious with an amazing amount of leg room (something you never get with Easy ...

    I went through all the reviews before I added mine. Recently I was on an OA flight from Manchester to Athens return, and I must say that I enjoyed it. How many airlines now days offer nice meals on a "in Europe" flight? Only 2 that I am aware off, Olympic and Checz. That it. All other offer you a bad quality sandwich or mixed salad, coffee and water. And you pay even more.
    The only downside of the story is that FAS could be more friendly (yet there were not bad but could do better) and perhaps ...

    This airline is really poor and whenever possible I try to use Agean. We had a problem with a cancelled flight due to bad weather from one of the islands back to Athens. They told us to come back in 2 days. Yes, really - 2 days. Agean were still flying despite the weather and had plenty of spare seats, so we flew back to Athens with them and then made the connection to Paris. The problems : 1/ When the flight was cancelled we asked Olympic to move us onto the Agean flight. They said no, do it yo ...

    This has to be the worst national airline I have ever been on. I was travelling from Heathrow to Athens and back and I had a completely mediocre flight. It was Easyjet standard for British Airways money and to be honest I wished I had paid the extra £40 to travel with them. I think that because they monopolize the Greek market they stopped paying attention to what the customer wants. My advice; pay extra and travel BA or make your plans more flexible and fly Aegean.

    Although I'm afraid of flying, I was able to find comfort in an Olympic airway flight. In my beliefs it's one of the most trusted airline out there. Great pilots, great seats, individual tvs. If you're heading to Greece and have a choice, chose Olympic Airlines.

    Dubai to Rome via Athens & return with Olympic Airlines. Every flight started late. Service generally indifferent - not as cheery and engaging as most. Food was different - but slow coming on the return flight. FA's not very 'present' - ie served and then disappeared! Both flights had limited in-flight entertainment (headphones and ceiling screens). Amusing to see the greek travelogue on the way HOME from Greece! and the "in-flight calisthenics" clip was run about 30 minutes out from landing bac ...

    I would recommend booking with Aegean Air for service in and around Greece. Olympic makes all U.S. airlines look great from every angle. This was the most confused and disorganized airline I have ever had the misfortune of flying. I also felt that the planes were not the cleanest nor the best maintained. This includes all the airplanes I have flown on in both Central and South America....and that is saying something.

    Truly awful airline, deserves to go bust. Fly with anyone else instead.

    I strongly urge everyone to avoid this airline. Businesses that are this badly run with such a complete disregard for their customers do not deserve to exist.

    I am a very frequent flyer and have experienced many travel delays and many airlines. Without question this is the worst airline I've flown with.

    I paid over £500 for 2 returns to fly from Gatwick to Athens because I live near to Gatwick and wanted ...

    This was my first experience on Olympic Airlines and it was a most unpleasant one and if I can avoid using this airline in the future I most certainly will.

    Not a lot to say about Olympic Airways, except that it's a dull, average airline. There's nothing I like or dislike about it.
