About This Route
Athens is strongly seasonal — heavy transatlantic service in summer, much thinner in winter — and most award itineraries connect through a European or Middle Eastern hub rather than flying nonstop. We monitor this route multiple times a day through Iberia, which routes via Madrid and is the carrier through which we most reliably see Oneworld transatlantic space.
Aircraft
Airbus A330 / Airbus A350 (transatlantic sector)
💡 Insider Tip
Summer is both the peak season and the hardest time to find award space. If your dates are flexible, May and late September are far more available and the weather is better than July anyway.
