Why this route produces empty legs

Three and a half hours or so, and the gateway to everything in the Aegean. Most people using this route are not stopping in Athens, they are changing aircraft or continuing to an island, which is exactly what makes the corridor produce empty legs.

The trade is always the same: you give up control of the date and often the exact hour, and you fly private for a fraction of the charter price. If your plans are fixed to the hour, ask for a normal quote instead.

Before you book

If you are heading to an island, say so in the enquiry. Some operators will quote you straight to the island rather than to Athens, and on an empty leg that decision is theirs to make, not yours.

Ask the operator three things: whether the departure time can still move, what happens if the paid flight that created this empty leg falls through, and which exact airport you are using. If nothing is listed today, that is normal. Empty legs appear with days of notice, not months, which is why the alert below beats checking the page by hand.
