    Book Travel on Greece Airways

  1. Step 1

    Check return flights. Greece Airways/Air Scotland flies into Manchester, Birmingham, Doncaster-Sheffield and New Castle. However, return flights are not always available.

  2. Step 2

    Be flexible. Greece Airways/Air Scotland only has one aircraft in its fleet, so booking a flight at the time you want could be a challenge. If you are really intent on flying Greece Airways/Air Scotland, have a few different travel dates in mind.

  3. Step 3

    Look for the plain plane. The aircraft for Greece Airways/Air Scotland does not have a decal or logo posted on the aircraft body or wing. It used to post decals for both Greece Airways and Air Scotland but is now simply plain.

  4. Step 4

    Fly with patience. Greece Airways/Air Scotland is known to experience delays of up to 14 plus hours. Bring some entertainment to the airport.

  5. Step 5

    Bring hand sanitizer when you book travel on this airline. Passengers have complained of the aircraft being dirty and the seats being unable to recline.

  6. Step 6

    Prepare for seasonal flights. The destinations for the summer months are Alicante, Athens, Barcelona, Girona, Malaga and Palma. During the winter months, Greece Airways/Air Scotland's planes will land in Athens, Girona, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote.

  7. Step 7

    Calculate the difference in prices before you plan your trip. During the winter months, the airline is leased out to other aircraft operators. Greece Airways/Air Scotland teams up with Sky Bargains to book flights with other operators. These flights are often quite cheap.
