Critique of Aegean Airlines, as shared by Larry Bland
Title: A Nightmare Flights: Shattered Vacation & Uncooperative Aegean Airlines
Date: June 20, 2025
Author: Angry Larry
This crapshow of an airline voyage has shattered my well-deserved vacation and caused nothing but stress, frustration, and sleepless nights.
Our first flight was delayed, causing us to miss the second one. That's right, peeps. We've lost an entire day of relaxation, sun, and fun- all due to this dumpster fire of an experience!
But don't get me started on the customer service. If rudeness and stubbornness were Olympic events, these jerks would've nailed the gold. The lack of information about our delay was infuriating, leaving us feeling stranded and clueless.
Not only that, but where in the blazes are our baggage? Have they shipped it off to a hidden ATU (Alaska the Unknown)? I want my beach towels and sunscreen, dammit!
Now, you might be thinking, "Hey, maybe Aegean Airlines is having a rough patch." Well, umm, not so much. I've been digging around, and it turns out their press team keeps shouting about winning awards and blah-blah-blah. Dazed and confused much?
Let me lay down the facts: Aegean Airlines secured "Best Regional Airline in Europe" at the infamous Skytrax World Airline Awards for 14 flippin' years in a row, according to credible sources[5]. But with the chaos that unfolded on June 20, 2025, you'd think they were headed for the flippin' dumpster, not the awards podium.
Unfortunately, my review isn't exactly an anomaly. There are other passengers with tales of woe[1], with delays, unprofessionalism, and terrible management of travel disruptions taking center stage. From what I gather, Aegean Airlines had some sort of meltdown around that time[3].
All I know is my dream vacation turned into a nightmare, leaving me high and dry, with my memories tainted by misery and annoyance. I can only hope things improve for future flyers and this once-reputable airline gets its act together.
Until then, watch out for that leaky bottom, folks!

My once peaceful vacation was ruined due to Aegean Airlines' delayed flights, causing us to miss our second one, thereby losing an entire day of travel and leisure. Frustratingly, this poor lifestyle experience doesn't seem to align with their frequent claims of being the Best Regional Airline in Europe.
