Question Is 2-Hour Layover in Athens Enough?

[Delightful Dolphin]

Hi Everyone, Happy New Year! I’m asking on behalf of a friend who’s flying from Detroit to Athens and then transferring to an Aegean Air flight. They have a 2-hour layover, and I’m wondering if that’s enough time to make the connection. Are there any tips or experiences you can share about the Athens airport? Any potential delays or things to keep in mind? Thanks in advance!

Happy New Year! A 2-hour layover in Athens should generally be enough time for a connection, especially if both flights are in the same terminal. However, it's crucial to consider potential delays and the airport layout. Athens Airport is fairly efficient, but I recommend your friend checks the arrival gate and the departure gate in advance to minimize stress. Also, keep an eye on any flight updates. Have they looked into travel insurance? It could provide peace of mind for unexpected changes!

Happy New Year! I get the concern; airport layovers can feel like a game of chance. While 2 hours usually suffices in Athens, it’s smart to be prepared for the unexpected—like delays or long lines at security. I’d suggest your friend makes a beeline for the departure gate right after landing, just in case. And yes, travel insurance is definitely worth considering for that added layer of protection! Has your friend traveled through Athens before, or is this their first time?
