Pros: SAFE, New Planes, New Airports, British Airways Management, Very Professional
Cons: Not so cheap, Delays. Read the review for more...

Traveling to Greece? Olympic Airlines is simply the best! One of the SAFEST in the whole world! The comfort with this company is something else! New airports, new planes, British Airways management.


INTRO

As an...

Pros: Nice food, great service, hot stewardesses, little TV's in seats.
Cons: Had to wait a bit afterwards to get our luggage.

I cannot believe how many people on Epinions have written bad reviews about Olympic Airways.

Well, ok, maybe I can.

Olympic Airways USED to be horrible. And when I say horrible, I mean horrible in the most horrible way that horrible...

Pros: Competent service. Charitable attitude towards excess baggage.
Cons: Almost the only game in town. Flight schedules apt to change.

Looks like the existing Epinions reviews are getting a little long in the tooth! It is Olympic Airlines now. While an experience with two short flights doesn't make for a definitive judgment, perhaps a little current intelligence might be helpful. The ...

Pros: good legroom in business, friendly service, punctual, cheap, decent food
Cons: some of their planes are very old, business class service is the same as economy

If there is one category of people that really get on my nerves is the one that likes to browbeat overstressed, underpaid and overworked airline employees for faults that are not the employees' and often not even the airline's, especially when they've...

Pros: Friendlier service, Great food, good entertainment
Cons: Delayed, baggage delayed

I hated Olympic remembering when I first stepped in the plane with cigarrette smoke and swearing stewardessess. BUT "That was then, This is Now." Introduction If you asked me if I was to go on Olympic Airways again a few years back, I would have ...

Pros: NONE
Cons: DIRTY DUSTY AIRPORT DISGUSTING TINY PLANES

I recently had the misfortune of flying Olympic from Athens to Santorini, and back. After reading the earlier articles, I resolved to try my best to not fly on Olympic. I was utterly loathed to discover that I had to fly it for the outer island flights...

Pros: none
Cons: extremely rude, inconsiderate and unprofessional staff

After reading the other opinions on Olympic Airways I felt the urge to add my own experience to the collection. My wife and I were in Greece for a brief vacation and even though we did not fly with Olympic we had the misfortune to experience the...

Pros: there are none in my opinion
Cons: smoking, terrible customer service

I am sure this won't come as a shock to most of you, since I read the other opinions about this airline, but it was terrible! I have never experienced such poor costumer service! We HAD to fly on this airline to go to Athens to board our ship for the...

Pros: none
Cons: smoking horrible cabin crew

I had the unfortunate experience of being sent aboard Olympic Airways to Greece with work. Greece was beautiful, Olympic airways was horrific! To this day I recall it as the worst airline I have ever flown on.

I remember that there were no...

Pros: Food, Safety
Cons: Smoking, Entertaintment

Being a student in Britain, I had the opportunity to travel many time with OA and eventually I believe things are not so bad. But let's take things one by one.

Olympic airways is an airliner with no serious accidents after 50 years of...

Pros: NONE
Cons: Rudeness & NO safety

PLEASE! I beg you. Do not fly Olympic. It is not worth the pain and suffering. Hands down, Olympic is just the ultimately worst airline out there.

I have done a lot traveling in the U.S. and internationally and to spice up life, I like to try...

Pros: inexpensive
Cons: poor service

If you can-then Olympic is the Airline for you! I have flown Olympic to Athens, Greece on several occasions, mainly due to the lower price, but thanks to Delta, I won't be doing that again any time soon! I wonder if the flight attendants have to go...

Pros: Safe; Experienced pilots; Good food; Non-stop flights; Quite cost-effective
Cons: Aging B-737's on the domestic flights; Service needs improvement; Delays

Well, so far, most people keep trashing Olympic Airways, but it's time to set the record straight.

First of all, Olympic Airways hasn't had an accident with casualties involved in many years. Actually, I think it's only had two or three in...

Pros: can't think of any
Cons: bad service, bad food, grumpy personnel, the list goes on

Flew JFK to Athens back to JFK in March 2008. Extremely grumpy crew. They actually argued all night with passengers, loudly, in Greek. The passengers were irritated about something. Then one of them said in English "a lady in the back fainted", to which ...

Pros: None
Cons: Delays, malfunctions, horrible service etc...

My husband and I flew to Greece last year with Olympic (June 2004) and we thought we'd had bad experiences with airlines before - Olympic set a new record for appalling. To summarise the whole saga: 1. We boarded our plane at Heathrow 1.5 hours ...
