August 3, 2024
Flight and aircraft info
Date: 3 June 2024
Flight: Aegean Airlines A3840
Origin/Destination: Athens, Greece (ATH) to Düsseldorf, Germany (DUS)
Athens International Airport
Check-in
Separate check-in counters for Business Class and Star Alliance Gold passengers. I was done checking my luggage within a minute.
Gate and boarding
A fully separate queue for Business Class and Star Alliance Gold passengers was setup and was fully respected. I boarded first, after only one passenger with a walking condition and her companion, who were allowed before me of course. There is typically a small chaos after that, during economy boarding 🙂
I reached the plane through a boarding bridge (Gate B13).
Cabin
An oldish Airbus A32x (not one of their new A32x NEO aircraft).
At least it was equipped with WiFi, which worked well for around 80% of the flight time (a good performance this time, I’ve experienced much worse with Aegean and others).
Onboard catering and service
What you see is what you get 🙂
- A paper napkin and a sanitizing wipe
- A choice between a Greek cheese pie or an apple pie for a meal
- Two Oreo-type biscuits (best Greek brand) for dessert
- A large selection of beverages (sodas, juices, still and sparkling water, beer, and wines) in paper cups
- Coffee, tea and water offered after the meal service
