We are trying to make connections from Istanbul to Athens after the Istanbul Tour in May 2010. The best connections and price are through Olympic Air. This is the NEW Olympic Air, not the OLD Olympic Airlines, which had many problems. Anyone have any recent (like since November 2009) with this carrier? I'd rather not get stranded with an unsable ticket.
Peace, Dennis
I haven't read any complaints yet. Every Olympic Airlines employee had to re-apply for their job under the new regime, so the chances are good that the company is on the right track with performance issues. I doubt that the same bad attitudes still exist amongst the new roster of employees. They're adding a new fleet of planes as well, which to me indicates their commitment to success.
Dennis,
I flew them in October last year a week after the switch was made. I went from Athens to Istanbul. They have wonderful service.
The airlines that compete with them on that route are Aegean and Turkish airlines.
Last October, all three of these airlines were roughly the same price including should I have needed to get a ticket at the last minute on any one of three airlines. This was in mid-October and the deciding factor for me was the flight times.
