Cheap flights from Belfast to Athens

The weeks just before and after February are often the next best value, while February itself is the cheapest month in the listed range. Listed fares run from October to July, so the peak summer and school-holiday weeks, including July, usually cost more; a midweek departure is often priced lower than a weekend one. Check the monthly calendar for the exact weeks before you decide.

Easyjet is one of the listed options on this connecting route, alongside Jet2, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, British Airways, Emerald Airlines, Aer Lingus and BA CityFlyer. No nonstop is listed, so every itinerary connects somewhere; through tickets and change rules differ by carrier, and baggage, seats or flexibility may cost extra on some fares, so read each fare's details before paying.

If you land at Eleftherios Venizelos late in the day, the transfer into Athens becomes the main task after a connection, because the evening is already short. The airport sits outside the city centre; metro and express buses are the usual routes in, with taxis or pre-booked transfers simpler when you arrive tired, and baggage reclaim plus passport control can eat into the first hours.
