Greece flight and airport FAQs
Does a UK residence permit automatically allow visa-free travel to Greece?
Do not assume so. Travelers of visa-required nationalities still need the applicable Schengen visa even when holding a UK residence permit.
Do all AEGEAN fares have the same baggage allowance?
Baggage conditions vary by fare class and other factors; use the operating carrier’s rules for codeshares.
