Aegean Airlines

Allowed dimensions: 56x45x25 cm · Maximum weight: 8 kg

The context in a few words

Aegean Airlines flies from Grèce on a full-service model inherited from traditional aviation. In practice, that translates to a more permissive baggage policy than budget airlines — though it's still worth checking the exact figures before check-in.

56x45x25 cm and 8 kg: the policy is on the lenient side. Travellers used to low-cost gauges will breathe easier here.

On the ground, posted rules and counter practice don't always align. Aegean Airlines publishes 56x45x25 cm and 8 kg as the upper bound, and gate agents typically allow 1–2 cm of leeway before routing to hold. Don't bank on it — tolerance evaporates the moment the flight fills up.

In daily use, dimensional checks are less frequent than on low-cost airlines, but the rules apply once a flight fills up. On busy short-haul routes, an oversized cabin bag may end up in the hold for free — a service that quickly becomes mandatory.

On Aegean Airlines, unclear personal-item language calls for caution. A thin laptop sleeve clears in 95% of cases; a backpack sized like a second cabin bag, much less. When in doubt, the safe play is to consolidate everything into the main bag.

Business cabin understandably gets enhanced allowances (up to 8 kg on certain configurations). On long-haul routes, the gap with economy can reach several kilos — something that adds up for frequent business travellers.

Which bag for Aegean Airlines?

For Aegean Airlines, the safer bet remains a cabin case sized to industry references. The shortlist below matches that brief, with formats that clear without a second look at the gauge.
