-
When arranging your flights, select the "Multi-City" option, not "one-way", and not "round trip".
-
Pay close attention to both the departure date and the arrival date since most flights to Greece travel overnight and arrive the following day.
-
It is recommended to select non-stop flights (when available) or flight itineraries with the fewest number of connections.
-
While some airlines may offer itineraries with short connection times, it is not advised. As a suggestion, confirm flights with connection times of approximately 3 hours.
-
We highly recommend arriving on Saturday, July 3rd, 2027 (one day prior) or earlier to allow for delays or any related problems (hotel and ground transportation not included).

Many flights depart from Spain to the U.S. with morning departures.

When confirming your flights, this guideline must be followed due to disembarkation formalities at the pier, travel time from the pier to the airport (approximately 30 minutes), and early check-in requirements (at least 3 hours prior to departure) for international flights.
