Baggage, seats and classes on the Athens to Thessaloniki flight

Before you compare the Athens to Thessaloniki 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 provides 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.

• Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy
• Cabin bag on every fare; checked bag included on full-service fares, optional on low-cost ones
• Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you
• Seat selection free or paid depending on the carrier; families seated together on request

Flying with children, families and groups from Athens to Thessaloniki

Families fly the Athens to Thessaloniki 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 Thessaloniki when you land

Thessaloniki is Greece's second city on the Thermaic gulf, with the White Tower, Byzantine churches and the best food in the country. The reasons travellers fly from Athens to Thessaloniki include Museum of Byzantine Culture, Day trips to Meteora and Vergina, White Tower, Aristotelous Square and Arch of Galerius and the Rotunda. For the first meal, try bougatsa, trigona panoramatos and koulouri bread rings.

If you want the days in Thessaloniki organised - a driver, a guide, timed entry tickets - we do that too. Mention it in the WhatsApp chat.

Best time to fly from Athens to Thessaloniki

May to October is warm and sunny with Halkidiki at its busiest in July and August; winters are cool and wet with occasional snow; city traffic is heavy at rush hours and on summer weekends towards Halkidiki. For the fare itself, the cheapest flights from Athens to Thessaloniki 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 Thessaloniki to Athens

Coming back? Say so on the form. A return flight ticket from Thessaloniki 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 Thessaloniki?

Flight prices from Athens to Thessaloniki follow demand: book early on a quiet day and you pay a fraction of a last-minute fare in high season. The airline you choose, whether the fare includes baggage, the seat class and the time of the flight all change the total. Rather than quote a number that will be wrong tomorrow, Haqqi Tours checks the fare for the day you want to fly and sends it to you through WhatsApp before you decide.

The figure we send is the total: ticket, taxes and the baggage included in that fare. If a departure two hours earlier is cheaper, or a different airline includes a suitcase for the same money, we say so, because the cheapest Athens to Thessaloniki flight is often not the one at the top of a search.

Cheapest flight from Athens to Thessaloniki: how to pay less

The cheapest flight from Athens to Thessaloniki is typically booked early, flown mid-week and chosen with the baggage you actually need. These are the rules our staff applies on every booking:

• 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 verify
• Ask about infant and child fares and about group bookings for four or more
• Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays
• Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are generally cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares

We answer "what is the cheapest way to fly from Athens to Thessaloniki?" many times a day; the answer for the date you travel comes back by WhatsApp with the booking ready to confirm.
