Cheap flights from Belo Horizonte to Athens

The weeks either side of November often give you more choice than the peak, and November itself is the cheapest month among the listed fares. Midweek departures can be calmer than weekend ones, while December and January attract holiday travel, so prices and availability can tighten then. If you are fixing dates in October, February, May, June or July, flexibility by a day or two can still help. Book well ahead once you know your dates, and earlier still if you must travel around Christmas or the destination's summer.

The route is served by a mix of carriers, and none of them fly it nonstop, so the real comparison is what each fare includes rather than the brand on the ticket. TAP Portugal, GOL Linhas Aereas S.A., LATAM Airlines, Azul, Turkish Airlines, Delta Air Lines and American Airlines each require at least one connection on this journey. Some sell fares where bags and seat choice cost extra, while others include more in the base price, so read the fare rules slowly. Check whether your whole itinerary is on one ticket, whether bags are checked through, and how long each connection lasts.

Arrange how you will reach your accommodation before you land, because Eleftherios Venizelos sits outside central Athens and airport transfers can take time. Have your booking details and passport ready, and check which terminal or gate your flight uses so you are not searching on arrival. Keep your onward address and any transport booking reference handy, and allow extra margin if you are continuing to another Greek destination. Watch for unofficial drivers at the kerb, and use only clearly marked transport options into the city.
