Aegean Airlines offers a smooth, efficient, and user-friendly check-in process designed to provide passengers with flexibility and ease before their journey begins. Whether traveling for business or leisure, Aegean provides multiple check-in options to accommodate different preferences and ensure a hassle-free airport experience. One of the most convenient and widely used methods is online check-in, which opens 48 hours prior to the scheduled departure time and remains available until 30 minutes before the flight. Passengers can complete this process by visiting the official Aegean Airlines website or using the Aegean mobile app. During online check-in, travelers can enter their booking reference or ticket number, choose or change seats, confirm personal and flight details, and obtain their boarding pass. The digital boarding pass can either be printed or saved to a mobile device, allowing passengers with hand luggage only to go straight to the security checkpoint upon arriving at the airport, thus saving time and avoiding queues.
The Aegean Airlines mobile app enhances the check-in experience by offering a convenient platform to manage bookings, receive real-time flight updates, and access digital boarding passes. The app is especially useful for frequent flyers or those who prefer to handle their travel plans on the go. For travelers with checked baggage, Aegean offers designated baggage drop-off counters at all departure airports. These counters allow passengers who have already checked in online to simply tag and hand over their luggage, making the process faster and more streamlined. For those who prefer or need to check in at the airport, Aegean provides staffed check-in counters, which usually open two to three hours before flight departure and close approximately 40 minutes before takeoff. Friendly and professional ground staff are available to assist with any special requests, including seat selection, baggage questions, and support for passengers with reduced mobility or other special needs.
In many airports, Aegean also offers self-service kiosks, enabling passengers to check in quickly by scanning their passport or entering their booking reference. These kiosks allow for seat selection, printing of boarding passes, and baggage tags. Business Class passengers and members of Aegean’s Miles+Bonus frequent flyer program enjoy the added benefit of priority check-in counters, ensuring a faster and more comfortable experience from the moment they arrive at the airport. Aegean is also committed to providing excellent support for families traveling with children, elderly passengers, and unaccompanied minors, ensuring their check-in process is as smooth as possible.
To ensure a seamless journey, Aegean Airlines recommends arriving at the airport well in advance—at least two hours before domestic flights and three hours before international flights—to allow enough time for check-in, security screening, and boarding. Travelers should also ensure they carry all required travel documents, including a valid ID or passport, visas, and any health certificates needed for their destination. Aegean’s check-in process reflects its dedication to high-quality service and passenger satisfaction, combining modern technology with friendly support to ensure that every traveler begins their journey with confidence and peace of mind.
