What is Aegean Airlines' cabin bag size?

ESTIMATE CONFLICT NOT PUBLISHED

On Airbus jets the cabin bag limit is 56 x 45 x 25 cm, and on turboprops it drops to 55 x 40 x 23 cm. You also get a personal item, and the bag should weigh about 8 kg in economy. Aegean's Conditions & Notices page sets a lower cap of 115 cm in total for the one cabin piece, which the Airbus figure exceeds, so we flag the two as a conflict.

These baggage rules also cover flights operated by Olympic Air aircraft, Aegean's regional sister airline.

AIRBUS FLEET 56 x 45 x 25 cm
TURBOPROP FLEET 55 x 40 x 23 cm
CONDITIONS & NOTICES 1 piece, 115 cm total (conflict)
WEIGHT LIMIT About 8 kg economy, 13 kg Business
WHEELS AND HANDLES Not stated

What counts as a personal item on Aegean?

NOT PUBLISHED

No dimensions are published for the Aegean personal item. The airline describes it as a women's or men's handbag or a thin laptop case, carried in addition to the one cabin bag. A small backpack isn't named, so treat anything bulkier than a laptop case as your cabin bag.

PERSONAL ITEM SIZE Not published
EXAMPLES AEGEAN NAMES Handbag, thin laptop case

Does Aegean Airlines weigh cabin bags?

ESTIMATE CONFLICT

Expect a cabin bag weight limit of about 8 kg on economy fares and about 13 kg in Business; Aegean's per-fare table loads by script, so treat these as a guide. Size matters too: 56 x 45 x 25 cm on Airbus jets and 55 x 40 x 23 cm on turboprops. Light passengers may have to check the bag free at boarding when bins are full.

ECONOMY (LIGHT, FLEX, FAMILY, COMFORT FLEX) About 8 kg
BUSINESS About 13 kg
05

Can you take a cabin bag on Aegean's Light fare?

ESTIMATE

Yes, 1 cabin bag goes with you on Light, but it has a catch. When the overhead bins are full, Light passengers must check that bag at boarding, though Aegean doesn't charge for it. The five fare families are Light, Flex, Family, Comfort Flex and Business, and Light is the only one Aegean names for this gate rule.

FARE CABIN BAG BINS FULL RULE
Light Yes Checked free at boarding
Flex Yes None stated
Family Yes None stated
Comfort Flex Yes None stated
Business Yes None stated
06

How much does Aegean charge for extra baggage?

NOT PUBLISHED

Aegean publishes no fixed extra-bag price list: fees depend on the fare family, the destination and the flight date, and the baggage calculator quotes them per route. You can add bags online or in My Booking up to 2 hours before departure. Buying through the call center after ticketing adds an €8 service fee per passenger. Family fares get 50% off the Light price for pre-purchased bags.

PRICE PER BAG Varies by fare, route and date
LAST CHANCE TO PREBUY 2 hours before departure
CALL CENTER SERVICE FEE €8 per passenger
FAMILY FARE 50% off Light price
07

What are Aegean's checked bag size and weight limits?

A standard checked bag can weigh 23 kg and measure 158 cm (62 in) when you add length, width and height. Pieces between 23 kg and 32 kg are accepted as overweight baggage. Nothing over 32 kg goes in the hold as baggage; Aegean sends it as cargo. Each passenger can bring 5 items in total, counting bags, pets, sports gear and instruments.

STANDARD WEIGHT 23 kg
SIZE 158 cm (62 in)
MAXIMUM WEIGHT 32 kg
OVER 32 KG Cargo only
ITEMS PER PASSENGER 5
08

How does Aegean handle overweight and oversized bags?

NOT PUBLISHED

Over 23 kg and up to 32 kg counts as overweight on Aegean, and the charge comes from the same route-based calculator as extra bags. A piece within 32 kg but over 158 cm (62 in) becomes special baggage with its own fee. Anything above 32 kg is accepted only as cargo.

OVER 23 KG TO 32 KG Overweight fee (route based)
OVER 158 CM, UP TO 32 KG Special baggage fee
OVER 32 KG Cargo only
09

Can you fly with a pet on Aegean Airlines?

NOT PUBLISHED

Yes. A cat or dog can ride in the cabin if pet and container together weigh 8 kg or less, for €35 on domestic flights and €65 on international ones. Only one pet per passenger is allowed in the cabin, and Aegean lists no container dimensions. Heavier pets travel in the hold: €50 to €120 for 8 to 25 kg and €90 to €190 above 25 kg, depending on route and connections. Certified service dogs fly in the cabin.

OPTION DOMESTIC INTERNATIONAL
Cabin, up to 8 kg €35 €65
Hold, 8 to 25 kg €50 direct, €55 connecting €110 direct, €120 connecting
Hold, over 25 kg €90 direct, €95 connecting €180 direct, €190 connecting

How much does Aegean charge for sports equipment?

Sports gear costs €35 up to 15 kg or 1.40 m, €55 for 15 to 32 kg or 1.41 to 2 m, and €80 for 15 to 32 kg over 2 m. You can add it when booking, in Manage my booking or at online check-in. Musical instruments are different: only the AEGEAN call center can book them.

SIZE LIMIT FEE
Small Up to 15 kg and/or 1.40 m €35
Medium 15 to 32 kg and/or 1.41 to 2 m €55
Large 15 to 32 kg and/or over 2 m €80
11

What can families bring on Aegean?

1 collapsible stroller travels free of charge on any fare. Infants under 2 get a cabin bag up to 55 x 40 x 23 cm. On Family fares, extra checked bags bought in advance cost half the Light price.

12

How strict is Aegean about cabin bags?

Light fares carry the main risk: when bins fill, those passengers check their cabin bag at the gate, free of charge. Turboprop flights use the smaller 55 x 40 x 23 cm limit, so a bag that fits an Airbus may not fit there. Aegean also caps each passenger at 5 items of every kind.

Frequently asked

No. Aegean's extra baggage definition treats the first piece as extra on both Light and Flex tickets. Comfort Flex is the first economy fare with a free checked bag, at 23 kg.
