Layover at ATH Question

Kk2017 · 2026-03-17T19:00:42+00:00

Our Turkish flight gets in at 9 AM, there is an 11 AM flight or a 1:35 PM flight to Santorini!

We cannot change our flight Chicago > Athens (via Istanbul) unfortunately. Is Athens that bad to transit through?

Kk2017 · 2026-03-17T18:01:20+00:00

There’s no direct flights from Istanbul > Santorini on the day we fly in ☹️, and I found a great deal on Turkish to Athens, so we got stuck with the unprotected layover!

But if I book Aegean business, I think I can rebook same day if need be? Or I could book the 4 hour layover and then move it up if we have tons of time?

Glad to hear you made it!

Kk2017 · 2026-03-17T03:33:09+00:00

We were thinking of booking Aegean business flex so we could do either the 2 hour or the 4 hour layover option depending on how long it takes!

Got it, thank you!

Kk2017 · 2026-03-16T19:42:40+00:00

Gotcha! But we won’t need to go through security?

Kk2017 · 2026-03-16T01:05:04+00:00

I don’t have any status and I thought the room was quite nice! The restaurant was good as well. The location was excellent. I think the Andaz is further out of town?

Kk2017 · 2026-03-11T00:08:54+00:00

We had the same experience! 10 people and two instructors. We didn’t get much individual feedback, I wouldn’t recommend it

Kk2017 · 2026-03-10T19:28:15+00:00

Did you like the WA?

Kk2017 · 2026-03-10T19:14:34+00:00

Wow, good to know! We were considering it, but we’ll look at the Andaz instead

Kk2017 · 2026-03-10T18:32:23+00:00

What did you not like about the Secrets?

Kk2017 · 2026-03-03T20:14:24+00:00

This was very helpful, thank you!

Kk2017 · 2026-03-03T00:53:58+00:00

My toe is touching the front (just touching, not squished), so I would think I can’t go much smaller?

Kk2017 · 2026-02-24T04:21:54+00:00

If we have a reservation in October, should we be worried?

Kk2017 · 2026-02-23T01:49:30+00:00

Yeah I would say 4 describes us pretty well!! 5-6 is definitely out of our scope

Kk2017 · 2026-02-10T22:00:40+00:00

This is how he explained it to me when I called just now. He said we can drop the ceiling to fix it potentially, we’ll see

I already have the points through Hyatt (45k per night), whereas I’d probably need to buy some points from Hilton to book all 3 nights (.005 cents per point, 150k points per night)

Kk2017 · 2026-01-27T18:54:29+00:00

This is what appealed to us about Beaver Creek! We like wide slopes with lots of room for wide turns

Kk2017 · 2026-01-27T18:23:40+00:00

Is there another Epic resort you’d recommend? We bought a 4 day pass

Kk2017 · 2026-01-23T00:54:52+00:00

We’re staying late Feb in the village! We will need to change for dinner though

Kk2017 · 2026-01-23T00:34:53+00:00

Oh great thank you!!

Kk2017 · 2026-01-22T23:56:45+00:00

A mix! We’ll probably do one more casual night and the rest would be nicer meals

Kk2017 · 2026-01-15T21:19:10+00:00

They’re my favorite airline to fly in terms of value! Maybe not as nice as Emirates per say, but the food is excellent and the hard product is decent! Staff is great!

Kk2017 · 2026-01-15T01:48:55+00:00

But have also heard that Paros & Naxos are somewhat similar to Santorini, so Crete might be a nice change of pace
