FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01Which long-haul destinations can I fly to nonstop from Athens?

In the US: New York (JFK and Newark), Boston, Washington, Philadelphia, Chicago, Atlanta, Charlotte and Dallas, with Seattle and Detroit added in summer 2027. In Canada: Montreal and Toronto. In Asia: Singapore, Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Delhi and Mumbai. In the Middle East: Dubai.

02What is the longest nonstop flight from Athens?

Athens–Dallas/Fort Worth on American Airlines, at about 12 hours 55 minutes (summer season only). The longest year-round route to Asia is Athens–Singapore on Scoot, at about 11 hours.

03Can I fly nonstop from Athens to the USA in winter?

Yes. Emirates flies Athens–New York Newark daily all year. Most US carriers fly Athens mainly from spring to autumn. For Canada, Air Canada runs into early January 2027 and restarts on 6 March 2027.

04When are long-haul flights from Athens cheapest?

Usually in the shoulder seasons: April–May and late September–October to North America, and the cooler months outside Christmas and New Year for Asia. July–August and the holiday weeks are the most expensive.

05Is there a direct flight from Athens to the Maldives or the Seychelles?

Not at the moment. Aegean has named the Maldives and the Seychelles among possible future long-range destinations from 2027, but nothing is scheduled. For a nonstop beach escape, Sharm el-Sheikh (about 2 h 20 min) and Dubai (about 4 h 30 min) are the closest options.

06How long is the flight from Athens to Sharm el-Sheikh?

About 2 hours 20 minutes on Aegean’s seasonal nonstop, which runs in the cooler months.

Routes and seasons come from airline and Athens International Airport announcements and published schedules, checked on 10 November 2026. Flight times are typical scheduled times from Athens and vary by season and aircraft. Fare guidance comes from fare-comparison data (KAYAK, Skyscanner, Expedia) and airline fare calendars; prices change daily, so treat it as guidance, not a quote. We do not include destinations in countries affected by war or under an official advice to avoid travel (such as Israel, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Libya). For Dubai and Jordan, check the latest advice, as the region is affected by the 2026 tensions. Always check the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs travel advice and confirm with the airline before you book.
