Passengers who need special services onboard the plane, or who are flying with pets, are required to check in at the airline counter in the departure airport.

Aegean Airlines online check-in

Online check-in begins 48 hours and up to 30 minutes ahead of the time of departure and allows you to choose your seat and either print out your boarding pass or get it in mobile version (note that not all airports have mobile check-in as an option).

Mobile check-in allows you to check in for your flight and download the boarding pass in your own time. From 48 hours and up to 30 minutes before departure, you can check in, reserve your seat, and receive your boarding pass via your mobile device. Ensure mobile check-in is possible in the airport of departure.

A paper boarding pass can be picked up at a check-in machine (if located in the departure airport) or at the airline check-in desk, if something fails with your mobile boarding pass. This additionally applies if you experience any problems with your phone, or if you delete your boarding pass mistakenly.

Check-in deadlines are established in order to make sure flights take off punctually. Whatever way you opt to check in, make sure you have your boarding pass and that all necessary baggage is checked ahead of the deadline.

Your flight ticket travel class decides the carry-on baggage allowance when flying with Aegean Airlines. Carry-on baggage has to meet airline regulations. If the carry-on baggage does not conform to regulations, it has to be checked in at an Aegean Airlines desk or a self-service bag drop kiosk, when possible. Additional fees may be necessary if this occurs.

It is necessary to report damaged or delayed baggage right away, either to the Aegean Airlines baggage tracing counter or the Aegean Airlines service desk. It is crucial to keep hold of all flight documents, in particular your boarding pass and baggage claim tag.
