Re: Getting to Santorini Posted: Sat February 21, 2004 09:28 PM UTC
I've been looking for a cheap flight from Oregon to Santorini for the same time frame, and I haven't found anything affordable either. So far the best price I can find is through Orbitz at about $1250. Flying from Philadelphia you at least have the advantage of not having to pay for flying across the US.
I've looked into flying into London as well, and picking up one of those cheap charters to Santorini, but so far they've proved to be at least as expensive in the long run when added to the overseas flight from the US, or the dates are all messed up and would require stopovers, airport transfers and hotel expenses in London coming and going. I keep hoping that eventually I'll come across a promotional fare that will fit my needs and budget. And just so you know, with some of the budget UK airlines like EasyJet (can't remember which ones) it is required that the ticket be sent to an address in the UK, so check before you make a purchase.
If you haven't already tried, Air France flies out of Philadelphia with a connection in Paris to Athens.
Olympic Airways Athens-Santorini (ATH-JTR) is an additional $216 round trip. The problem with Olympic is making the right connection without another layover, and because of the limited flights sometimes they're booked up well in advance. Agean Air also flies to Santorini.
British Airways also offers flights to Athens from Philadelphia, stopping in London.
Good luck, we need it!!
