Airlines flying from Thessaloniki to Athens

Aegean Airlines, Olympic Air, Sky Express and Ryanair fly the Thessaloniki to Athens route, non-stop. They differ in baggage rules, seat pitch, meals and the airports they use as much as in price, so the cheapest fare is not always the best value. Haqqi Tours lays the options out plainly: which fare includes a checked bag, which airline flies at the time you want, and which is the better choice for a family or a business trip.

• Aegean Airlines - Thessaloniki to Athens
• Olympic Air - Thessaloniki to Athens

• Ryanair - Thessaloniki to Athens

Departure: Thessaloniki Airport (SKG)

Thessaloniki Airport (SKG) is where the Thessaloniki to Athens 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.

• Just ask about the terminal and fast-track options at Thessaloniki Airport
• Arrive about 2 hours before an international departure, 90 minutes before a domestic one
• 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

Arrival: Athens International Airport (ATH) and getting into Athens

You arrive at Athens International Airport (ATH). Metro Line 3 runs from the airport to Syntagma in about 40 minutes and the X95 bus follows; a hotel on Plaka's pedestrian lanes, a ferry at Piraeus with a departure time, or a Riviera hotel is simpler by car from the terminal. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your hotel in Athens, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.

Many travellers continue from Athens to somewhere else. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Thessaloniki to Athens flight

On board, the Thessaloniki to Athens flight is about 55 minutes: economy is perfectly comfortable, and business class adds a bigger seat, a meal and lounge access for those who want it. Baggage rules differ by airline and fare; children and infants have their own allowances. Let us know who is flying and what you are carrying and we choose accordingly.

• Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you
• Seat selection free or paid depending on the airline; 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

Flying with children, families and groups from Thessaloniki to Athens

Families fly the Thessaloniki to Athens route with us all year round. Infants under two travel on a lap at a small fare; children have a seat and a child fare where the carrier 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 airline for a group fare where the numbers justify it.

Things to do in Athens when you land

Piraeus is the port of Athens and the main gateway to the Aegean islands, linked to central Athens by metro in about half an hour. The reasons passengers fly from Thessaloniki to Athens include the Acropolis Museum, the Ancient Agora, Plaka's lanes, the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion and Lycabettus Hill. For the first meal, try Greek salad with feta, grilled octopus in Piraeus and loukoumades.

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

Best time to fly from Thessaloniki to Athens

April to June and September to October are ideal; July and August are very hot; winter is mild and quiet; the Attiki Odos motorway from the airport is quick outside rush hour. On the flight from Thessaloniki to Athens, seasons show in fares more than in schedules: holiday departures fill first, so we recommend booking early for summer, Christmas, New Year, Eid and Easter journeys.

Return flight from Athens to Thessaloniki

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

"How much is the Thessaloniki to Athens flight?" is the question we get most, and the honest answer is that it moves every day. Low fares open months ahead and disappear as seats sell; peak seasons, school holidays and the most convenient departure times cost more; a fare with a checked bag and a flexible ticket cost more than a hand-luggage-only seat. Haqqi Tours provides the current cost for your date in a few minutes of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.

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.

Cheapest flight from Thessaloniki to Athens: how to pay less

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

• 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
• 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

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