Cheapest flight from Athens to Santorini: how to pay less
A cheap Athens to Santorini flight ticket is rarely luck. It is the right airline, the right day and the right fare class - which is what we verify for you:
- Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which frequently carry the lowest fares
- Tell us if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
- Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
- Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day
- Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we check
- Ask about infant and child fares and about group bookings for four or more
We answer "what is the cheapest way to fly from Athens to Santorini?" many times a day; the answer for your dates comes back on WhatsApp with the booking ready to confirm.

You choose, we book, and the e-ticket arrives in the same chat.

Who flies from Athens to Santorini? Aegean Airlines, Olympic Air, Sky Express and Volotea. Between them the route runs 10+ a day. We compare their fares, timings and baggage for your travel date and send the two or three that make sense, not a list of fifty.
- Aegean Airlines - Athens to Santorini
- Olympic Air - Athens to Santorini
- Sky Express - Athens to Santorini
- Volotea - Athens to Santorini
Departure: Athens International Airport (ATH)
Athens International Airport (ATH) is where the Athens to Santorini flight begins. Terminals, gates and closing times are in the confirmation we send, with a note on the airport's security and passport checks. Arrive with a proper margin; low-cost carriers in particular close bag drop strictly on time.
- Online check-in opens 24-48 hours before; we send the link and the booking reference
- Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the e-ticket - names must match exactly
- Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
- Haqqi Tours provides a private transfer from your hotel in Athens to Athens International Airport
Arrival: Santorini Airport (JTR) and getting into Santorini
The flight lands at Santorini Airport (JTR). Santorini is the volcanic island of the caldera cliffs, with the villages of Fira, Oia and Imerovigli along the rim, black-sand beaches on the east coast, a small airport (JTR) about 6 km from Fira and the port at Athinios below the cliffs. From arrivals you have taxis, local transport and, if you book it with us, a Haqqi Tours driver waiting with your name. For a family with bags, a pre-booked airport transfer is the easiest way to finish the Athens to Santorini journey: fixed price, flight tracked, straight to the hotel door.
Arriving late at night? We note it and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the flight; a delay costs you nothing.
Baggage, seats and classes on the Athens to Santorini flight
Before you compare the Athens to Santorini flight prices, compare what they carry. A fare with hand luggage only can look cheapest and end up dearer once a bag is added. Haqqi Tours offers the fare that matches your bags: cabin bag only for a short trip, checked bag for a holiday, extra allowance for a long stay. Seat selection, meals and priority boarding are optional extras on many airlines; we tell you which are worth it.
- Seat selection free or paid depending on the carrier; families seated together on request
- Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare
- Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
- Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy
Flying with children, families and groups from Athens to Santorini
Families fly the Athens to Santorini route with us every week. Infants under two travel on a lap at a small fare; children have a seat and a child fare where the airline offers one; pushchairs are checked free at the gate on most airlines. We seat the family together, order children's meals where they exist and choose a departure time that suits nap and bedtime. For groups, we book the seats in one reservation and ask the carrier for a group fare where the numbers justify it.
Things to do in Santorini when you land
the wineries around Pyrgos, Ancient Thera, Fira's cable car and the old port, the sunset at Oia and the caldera walk from Fira to Oia are what most passengers come to Santorini for. Santorini is the volcanic island of the caldera cliffs, with the villages of Fira, Oia and Imerovigli along the rim, black-sand beaches on the east coast, a small airport (JTR) about 6 km from Fira and the port at Athinios below the cliffs. Eat grilled fish in Ammoudi Bay, Santorini wines from Assyrtiko grapes and loukoumades by the caldera while you are there.
We offer tours and transfers in Santorini as well as the flight ticket - one conversation, one plan for the whole trip.
Best time to fly from Athens to Santorini
May to October is the season, with July and August hot, windy and crowded; the shoulder months are ideal; ferries and flights thin out in winter. For the fare itself, the cheapest flights from Athens to Santorini are found outside school holidays and major events, on mid-week days, booked early. Peak weeks sell out first and cost most; shoulder months give the best mix of weather, availability and price.
Return flight from Santorini to Athens
Coming back? Say so on the form. A return flight ticket from Santorini to Athens booked with the outbound is often cheaper than two separate bookings, and it keeps the trip on one WhatsApp thread with one point of contact.
How much is a flight from Athens to Santorini?
The cost of a flight from Athens to Santorini depends on the date, the time of day, the airline, the fare class and how far ahead you book. Airlines sell seats in tiers that rise as the plane fills, so the same seat can cost several times more on a holiday weekend than on a quiet Tuesday. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price on this page: we check the live fares for your exact date across every airline on the route and send you the real cost in the WhatsApp chat, with the options side by side.
What the price we send includes: the ticket in the fare class you chose, the taxes and airport charges, the baggage that fare carries, and our service - comparing the airlines, booking, sending the e-ticket and helping if the flight changes. We tell you clearly if a bag or a seat costs extra on that fare.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
Where do I land in Santorini?
You land at Santorini Airport (JTR). Taxis and metro, tram or bus leave from arrivals; a Haqqi Tours driver can meet you at the exit with your name if you add a transfer.
How much is a flight from Athens to Santorini?
It depends on the date, the carrier, the fare class and how early you book, so there is no single price. Haqqi Tours checks the live fares across every airline for the date you travel and sends you the exact cost on WhatsApp in a few minutes of receiving the form.
Can Haqqi Tours arrange airport transfers?
Of course. We provide private transfers from your hotel to Athens International Airport and from Santorini Airport to your accommodation, flight tracked, on the same confirmation as the ticket.
Do children and infants need a ticket?
Yes, at their own fares: infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced rate, children from two need a seat and generally pay a child fare. Give the ages on the form and we apply them.
Are there direct flights from Athens to Santorini?
Of course. Aegean Airlines, Olympic Air, Sky Express and Volotea operate non-stop flights from Athens to Santorini 10+ a day, and non-stop is what we book unless a connection is clearly cheaper and you prefer it.
Is it better to fly or take the train from Athens to Santorini?
For this route the flight is the practical choice - about 45 minutes in the air. We provide trains and transfers too and say honestly which is better for your dates.
What happens if I miss the flight?
The lowest fares are forfeited; flexible fares can be rebooked for a fee or free. We tell you which rules apply before you commit to anything, and our WhatsApp desk helps on the day if something goes wrong.
Which airport do I fly from in Athens?
Athens International Airport (ATH). We send the terminal, the check-in closing time and, if you book it, a private transfer from your accommodation.
Do you provide flights in the other direction or to other cities?
We do. Haqqi Tours books any route - the return from Santorini to Athens, or onward flights from Santorini - and puts it all on one booking.
How early should I be at Athens International Airport?
Around two hours before an international departure and ninety minutes before a domestic one, more at peak times or with bags to check. Low-cost airlines close bag drop early - we send the exact deadline with the ticket.
Can I book a return flight from Santorini to Athens?
Yes. Choose "return" on the form and give both dates; we compare a return fare with two singles and book the cheaper one. If the return date is not fixed, we clarify the flexible options.
How long is the flight from Athens to Santorini?
Roughly 45 minutes non-stop between Athens International Airport (ATH) and Santorini Airport (JTR). Exact times depend on the airline and the departure; we send them with each option.
When is the best time to book the Athens to Santorini flight?
As early as your dates allow. Low fare classes open months ahead and disappear as the plane fills; holidays, weekends and summer departures sell first.
What is the difference between economy and business class?
Space, food and flexibility: business class adds a bigger seat, a meal, lounge access and priority boarding, and usually a more flexible ticket. We send the cost of both so you can decide.
Which airlines fly from Athens to Santorini?
Aegean Airlines, Olympic Air, Sky Express and Volotea. We compare their fares, timings and baggage for your dates and send the ones that make sense.
