NoWhiners Posted August 31, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Hi All I posted this on Greece ports thread but thought this might be better. After our cruise in october, we have a 7 am flight out of Athens. I know we will have to get up early, grab a cab to the airport but I was wondering if anyone has any recent experience on how long it takes to get from arrival at the airport to the gate? just trying to estimate how much time we should allow. Thanks for any help ML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach1213 Posted August 31, 2013 #2 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Dare I ask what time your ship docks if you're planning on a 7am flight? Much of it depends on where your flight is going. If it's another Schengen country, you'll just have check in and security. If it's not a Schengen country, you'll add immigration to that. So we need more details.

Oops--I wasn't clear, we are flying out the next morning after disembarking the ship. And, we are flying to Paris, then on to Atlanta. and, it will be Tuesday Oct 15.

Zach1213 Posted September 1, 2013 #4 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I personally would plan to arrive 2 hours early to be safe. You shouldn't have to go through immigration since it's and intra-Schengen flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWhiners Posted September 1, 2013 Author #5 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Thanks Zach, we'll get there at 5 am :eek: ML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ducklite Posted September 2, 2013 #6 Share Posted September 2, 2013 We found Athens to be very efficient. I agree with Zach, two hours should be more than enough while leaving some extra to e for any delays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner22aa Posted September 3, 2013 #8 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Will be fine assuming you fly on the one day of the week that one of the unions isn't on strike. Lots of labour unrest in the country these days including the cab drivers. Strikes of one kind or another are virtually a daily occurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strikes of one kind or another are virtually a daily occurance. well, we'll keep our fingers crossed and hope there are no strikes. We may just arrange for a taxi the day before when we are on our tour of areas outside Athens. Thanks for the tip ML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
