Sports equipment on domestic flights operated by Aegean

On domestic flights, sports equipment is included in your free baggage allowance. For carriage to be approved, you need to contact our Reservations Department in advance of your journey to notify us that you will be carrying the items in question and to inform us of their dimensions.

Carriage of Musical Instruments

Aegean Airlines provides the opportunity to travel with your musical instrument - which must be carried in a secure, hard case. The instrument may be checked in to be carried in the hold, or taken with you on board the plane. If checked in, the weight of the instrument is counted as part of your regular baggage allowance and any excess weight will be charged as appropriate. Also, when you check in the instrument you will be asked to sign a Limited Release Form, in which you agree that the musical instrument is being carried entirely at your own liability.

If you wish to take the instrument with you on board the plane, it will be counted as hand luggage and its dimensions must not exceed 55cm in length x 40cm in height x 20cm in width; it must not weigh more than 8 kilos. If the instrument exceeds these limits then you must contact the Reservations Department to reserve an extra seat, to be charged at the least costly regular fare available. The extra charge will be paid at the airport on departure. For more information, please contact the Reservations Department.
