There is a reason why Aegean Airlines are winning in many consecutive years the title of the best regional airline in Europe. One of the very few airlines which still offer a hot meal even in economy on 1,5 to 2 hr flights, plus soft drinks, tea or coffee. And flying on the 31st of December you might even receive a fresh pomegranate as gift, which is meant to bring you luck in the new year.

Hey Jeb. Thank you once again for highlighting the important role that the ramp has in terms of turning planes around. If you ever fly into Fort Myers, more specifically on United, keep an eye out on the ramp and you might see me. I’m a ramp supervisor for AGI which is the ramp contractor for United and, I have to tell you, it is one of the best jobs I could ever ask for. I love the part where you highlighted how long it takes for a plane to turn around for an on time departure but what defines an on time departure for an airline? I could talk about this for hours but the shortened version is as soon as the pilot releases its parking brake before the departure time, whether the pushback begins or not, the flight is considered out on time. Again, thank you so much and I’d love to meet you the next time you’re in Fort Myers

@Micg5110 ай бұрын
Yep, I flew with many captains that as soon as we had the takeoff data, would drop the brake for a few seconds, then put it back on. It would register as out time, so if the rampers weren’t ready, it would still be on time (and most importantly, we would be getting paid)
@coherentpanda711511 ай бұрын
Ramp agents definitely appreciate you giving them a shout out. They are often the hardest working people at the airport, and essential to keep flights on time.

Avid Greener Grass watcher here, born in Thessaloniki & Aegean gold status for a few years now. First of all, thanks for highlighting the more minor details about the aviation industry here in Greece. Especially during winter times, it is indeed vital to the small island economies. The aspects you highlighted regarding SKG Airport are so accurate, especially regarding the magnificent Aegean lounge. However, I'm sad to say that the 35' turnaround is nothing short of a Greek frequent flyer's dream for Aegean. Year-round, but mostly during the summertime, Aegean is plagued by constant delays during all times throughout the day, having between 45' and 60' minute turnarounds, befuddled gate agents due to overworking and continuous setbacks with the buses, and baggage offloading. I love the airline and their hard product, all the aircraft staff are amazing and helpful, but if they don't up their game on the ground, us who fly with them constantly will think about it every time we need to arrive somewhere on time.

This is so exciting! My family lives in Thessaloniki, so I have been going through that airport my whole life! I have seen it grow over the years. I have also flown through Frankfurt a few times… but I hate it (as well as all German airports) with a passion, so I pay extra now to avoid it. I know the Thesaaloniki airport is very odd (no jetways for a main airport in a city with over 1 million residents), so I appreciate the deep dive!

That's kind of cool....for biz class, they just leave the middle seat empty. Money saving for the airline since you don't have to reconfigure your aircraft w/ different sections. When I was flying, I tried to do that w/ Southwest a lot, get a window or aisle seat w/ an empty center seat....that's the good part about their open seating policy...you can move around if the flight isn't full, and then decide what /where you want. The empty center seat is cool because you can flip down the tray and it's like having extra space for putting food, drinks, etc.
