Can I cancel an Aegean Light or Flex flight and get a cash refund?

No. Aegean Light and Flex fares are non-refundable for passenger-initiated cancellations. However, unspent government and airport taxes can generally be reclaimed through customer support.

What happens if Aegean Airlines cancels my flight?

Under EU Regulation (EC) 261/2004, if Aegean cancels your flight, you have the right to choose between an alternate rebooking to your destination at the earliest opportunity or a 100% full cash refund to your original payment method.

What is Aegean's no-show policy?

Failing to cancel or modify your booking prior to flight departure marks the reservation as a no-show, forfeiting the ticket value and automatically canceling subsequent legs on the same ticket.

Can I change my Aegean flight date without paying a change fee?

Yes. Flex, ComfortFlex, and Business fares allow unlimited flight date changes with zero change fee, though any difference in airfare still applies. Light fares require a rebooking fee plus airfare difference.

Aegean Airlines Cancellation & Refund Policy: Fees, Rules & EU 261 Rights

Understanding Aegean Airlines' cancellation, rebooking, and refund policies helps you protect your ticket value when travel plans shift.

Voluntary Passenger Cancellations

Refundability on Aegean Airlines depends directly on your purchased fare family:

Light & Flex Fares: Restricted Economy tickets are non-refundable in the event of voluntary customer cancellation. However, unused government and airport taxes can generally be reclaimed upon request.
ComfortFlex Fares: Permits ticket cancellations with a partial refund, subject to standard fare cancellation deductions. Unlimited date and time changes are allowed with zero rebooking fees (fare difference applies).
Business Class Fares: Business Basic allows refunds with applicable deductions, while full Business tickets provide full refundability or flexible rebooking options.

Airline Cancellations & Schedule Disruptions

If Aegean Airlines cancels a flight, delays departure significantly, or implements a major operational schedule change:

EU Regulation (EC) No 261/2004: Affected passengers are legally entitled to choose between complimentary rebooking on the next available flight or a full cash refund back to the original payment method.
Care & Assistance: In cases of extended airport delays, Aegean provides meals, refreshments, communications, and hotel accommodation when overnight stays are required.

No-Show Rules

Failing to board your flight without canceling your reservation prior to check-in closure results in a no-show. Non-flexible tickets lose their entire value, and all subsequent return or connecting flight coupons in the itinerary are automatically canceled.
