Aegean Airlines cabin bag dimensions and bag size

The maximum Aegean Airlines carry-on size is 56 x 45 x 25 cm, which works out to 22 x 17.7 x 9.8 inches. These measurements include wheels, handles, and any external pockets, so a bag marketed as "22 inch" can go over if its wheels push the total past 56 cm. Always measure your bag packed, not empty.

Does Aegean Airlines charge for carry-on bags?

Aegean Airlines overhead bin size by aircraft

Aegean's Airbus A320-family jets take a 56 x 45 x 25 cm carry-on, but Olympic Air ATR turboprops on Greek island hops are limited to 55 x 40 x 23 cm, so pack to the smaller size if your itinerary includes a domestic connection. Each passenger may check in a maximum of five items in total, including pets and sports equipment.

What counts as a personal item on Aegean Airlines

Allowed

  • Handbag
  • Thin laptop case

Common Aegean Airlines carry-on mistakes

  • Bringing both a carry-on and a personal item on the Light fare. Light includes one cabin piece in total, not two.
  • Packing to the 56 x 45 x 25 cm jet limit for an itinerary with an ATR island hop, where the limit drops to 55 x 40 x 23 cm.
  • Assuming the Flex fare includes a checked bag. Only ComfortFlex and Business do; Flex adds the second cabin piece and flexibility, not hold luggage.

What happens if your bag does not fit on Aegean Airlines

Cabin bags over the size or weight limits are checked through to the final destination and fees may apply. Light fare passengers whose carry-on does not fit a full cabin have it checked free at boarding, with a baggage receipt issued at the gate; remove laptops, cameras, and power banks first.

Aegean Airlines vs easyJet carry-on

For UK and European travelers heading to Greece the practical comparison is Aegean against easyJet. Aegean's cheapest Light fare always includes one cabin piece up to 8 kg, which can be a full 56 x 45 x 25 cm carry-on, and gate-checks it free when the cabin fills. easyJet's standard fare includes only the 45 x 36 x 20 cm under-seat bag, with the same-size 56 x 45 x 25 cm large cabin bag sold as a paid add-on. Aegean is the more generous default and adds Star Alliance miles and onboard service; easyJet often wins on headline price, and its 15 kg paid cabin bag allowance beats Aegean's 8 kg if you genuinely need the weight.

Light, Flex, and Family fares include no checked bag; ComfortFlex includes one 23 kg bag and Business includes two. Bag fees vary by fare family, route, and date. Aegean's Canadian-dollar price list gives a prepaid bag up to 23 kg as CAD 30-95 on international flights (CAD 45-110 at the airport) and CAD 14-56 on domestic flights; prepaid bags on the Family fare cost half the Light fare price. Standard bags max 23 kg and 158 linear cm. Overweight bags (23-32 kg) incur an extra charge, and anything over 32 kg must go as cargo. Adding bags through the call center after ticketing costs an extra €8 service fee per passenger, and prepaid baggage is non-refundable on voluntary cancellations. Miles+Bonus Gold and Star Alliance Gold members get one extra 23 kg bag (two total on ComfortFlex).
