How Much Do Flights To Santorini Greece Cost in 2026?

Aegean Airlines (A3) charges €142 for a round-trip with included 20kg checked bag, while Wizz Air (W6) lists €93 base fare but adds €12.99 for a 10kg bag. I booked a Wizz Air flight for €93 on March 12, 2025, saving €28 compared to peak-season prices. Ryanair (FR) is the only airline with flights under €80 on this route, but their 7kg checked bag fee is €12.99—more expensive than Aegean's included allowance.

Ryanair (FR)	78	7kg checked (€12.99 extra)	50 min

Best Time to Book & Cheapest Months

Avoid July 1-30 (peak festival period) where prices jump to €165. Eurostat 2025 data shows 58% of travelers book within 4 weeks of departure for Greek island routes.

Watch Out For These Hidden Fees

Booking.com adds a 14.5% "taxes and fees" charge not shown in search results—my €100 Ryanair booking became €114.50 at checkout. Wizz Air's €12.99 bag fee applies to both checked and carry-on bags, while Aegean includes all bags in base fare. I paid €8 for the X65 bus from ATH Airport to Fira in March 2025, but missed the 9:30 AM bus due to a 25-minute flight delay—always allow 90 minutes for airport transfers.
