Passengers traveling through Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport in Athens should expect flight delays and are advised to monitor the status of their flights directly through their airline. The airport has issued an urgent notice warning of disruptions affecting departures and arrivals. Travelers connecting through Athens to or from Crete should allow extra time and check in with their carrier before heading to the airport. Keep your airline's app or customer service number handy, and arrive earlier than usual to account for potential gate changes or schedule shifts. If you are booked on a domestic Greek flight connecting through Athens to Heraklion, Chania, or Sitia, contact your airline proactively to confirm your itinerary and explore rebooking options if needed.
