Aegean: Free Seat Selection, Rebooking and 50% Discount on Luggage Until March for Families Flying Economy Class

Aegean Airlines Airbus A320 Neo

Aegean Airlines has launched an interesting promotion: Families travelling with at least one child under the age of 12 can book a Family fare, that includes free seat selection, unlimited rebookings, and a 50% discount on luggage. The offer can be booked until November 1, 2023 for trips between November 15 and March 31.

While the fare is somewhat more expensive than the Light fare for adults, children only pay taxes and fees, roughly equalling out the cost.

Terms & Conditions

You don’t need an extra code to get the discount for the children, they just have to travel with an adult. In the following example, the family fare is 30€ more expensive, but as the child travels “free”, the total price for an adult and a child is even €5 cheaper than it would usually be.

Conclusion

While Aegean mainly promotes this as a “kids fly free” deal, that part of the deal seems to be overvalued. Kids still pay taxes and fees (which make up the majority of the price) and adults are paying a higher price – so the savings are very small. However, getting free seat selection and 50% discount on luggage seems to be a far more attractive part of this deal – though still nothing to go crazy about. Add that bit of flexibility, and overall it’s not a bad deal for families. Especially, as most other airlines are doing almost nothing to be family-friendly, so this is definitely better than nothing.
