Baggage, Seating & Onboard Amenities
A quick reference before you pack — always confirm exact allowances on your fare rules at booking, since they vary by route and cabin.
Carry-On & Personal Item
Standard fares typically include one carry-on bag plus a personal item within set limits — confirm the exact allowance for your fare.
Checked Baggage
Checked baggage allowance depends on fare type and route, with domestic and international fares sometimes following different rules.
Excess Baggage Fees
Overweight, oversized, or extra bags typically incur a per-bag fee charged at check-in or online in advance — pre-paying online is usually cheaper than paying at the airport.
Seat Selection & Cabin Classes
Arkia offers Economy seating on most routes, with seat selection options that can vary depending on the specific fare purchased.
How to Find the Cheapest Arkia Fares
Four habits that consistently lower what you pay.
Book in the Sweet-Spot Window
For most Arkia routes, fares tend to be most competitive when booked several weeks to a few months ahead of departure, rather than at the last minute or extremely far out.
Fly Midweek and Off-Peak
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday departures are usually cheaper than Friday or Sunday, and red-eye or early-morning flights often undercut peak daytime departures.
Set Fare Alerts
Track your route and let price-drop notifications do the watching, instead of checking manually every day.
Price-Tracking Tip
Compare a fixed date range over a week or two before deciding — single-day price checks can be misleading.
Compare a fixed date range over a week or two before deciding — single-day price checks can be misleading.
Use Flexible Date Search
Searching a date range instead of one fixed day often surfaces Arkia fares that are noticeably lower just one or two days earlier or later.
Check-In & Day-of-Travel
Online Check-In
Online and mobile check-in generally opens 24–48 hours before departure, letting you select or confirm your seat and download your boarding pass in advance.
Airport Arrival Times
Arrive with enough buffer for check-in, bag drop, and security — this matters more on international Aegean Airlines routes than short domestic hops.
Domestic vs. International Cutoff
International check-in and bag-drop counters usually close earlier relative to departure than domestic ones, so double-check your specific route’s cutoff.
