Cheap flights from Okinawa to Athens

Athens has hot, bright summers and cooler, shorter winter days, so the month you choose changes both comfort and cost on this route. October is the cheapest month shown, with milder weather suited to walking the city, while August and December also appear in the fare calendar and coincide with holiday periods when leisure travel is heavier. Weekday departures and returns often price better than weekend ones, and checking a few neighbouring dates can reveal a lower fare without changing the plan.

Japan Airlines deserves the first look for travellers starting in Okinawa, but All Nippon Airways, Asiana Airlines, Starlux, Eva Air, China Airlines and Hong Kong Airlines can also price this route well depending on dates and connection times. Scoot, Jeju Air and Jet Star Japan are the low-cost names in the list and often show the lowest headline fares, yet their cheapest tickets may leave checked baggage, meals and seat selection out of the price. Full-service fares more often include those items, so compare what is actually covered before deciding which ticket is cheaper.

If your connection lands late, Eleftherios Venizelos may be quieter but the last metro or suburban train can already have stopped, so check the final service before you plan to rely on public transport. The airport sits outside central Athens, and the usual choices into town are metro, suburban rail, express bus or taxi, with the road journey taking longer in heavy traffic. A late arrival can make the journey into the city less convenient, so it helps to have your route settled before you land.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether checked baggage, meals and seat selection are included, because the low-cost carriers on this route often charge for them separately.
• Check whether your itinerary changes airports during the connection, since that can add transfer time and cost.
• Allow generous connection time, especially on separate tickets, because a delay on the first flight is not automatically protected.
• Check passport and entry requirements for Greece before booking, since they depend on your nationality and length of stay.
• Compare October with the other months listed in the fare calendar, because the cheapest month can still be busy on school holiday dates.
