Aegean Airlines Baggage Fees (2026)
Quick summary
Aegean Airlines is Greece's full-service flag carrier and a Star Alliance member, selling Economy in branded fares — Light, Flex, and ComfortFlex. Every Economy fare includes an 8 kg cabin bag, but only ComfortFlex (and Business) include a free checked bag; Light and Flex carry none. Checked baggage on Light/Flex must be purchased, and buying online is cheaper than at the airport.
At a glance
🎒 Personal item
On Economy Flex and ComfortFlex you may also bring one personal item — a handbag, thin laptop case, or medium backpack — that fits under the seat in front of you. The basic Light fare focuses on the single cabin bag.
🧳 Carry-on
Economy allows one carry-on bag up to 8 kg and a maximum of 56 × 45 × 25 cm. On the Light fare, if the cabin is full your carry-on may be checked into the hold free of charge at boarding.

Other common fees
| Extra checked bag (prepaid online) | Cheaper than at the airport; price varies by route and season (EUR). |
| Extra bag added at the airport | Higher than the online rate (EUR). |
| Overweight bag (23–32 kg) | Extra fee per piece, route-dependent (EUR). |
How to avoid extra fees
- Light and Flex include no free checked bag — if you need one, compare adding a bag against booking ComfortFlex, which bundles a 23 kg bag.
- Always pre-book extra baggage online; airport rates are higher.
- On the Light fare a full cabin may force your carry-on into the hold at the gate (free), so pack valuables and documents in your personal item.
- Star Alliance Gold members receive an extra baggage allowance regardless of fare.
