Flying Aegean Airlines in business class between Athens and London Heathrow is a reminder that short-haul premium travel in Europe doesn’t have to feel compromised.
In this video, I review Aegean’s Airbus A321neo business class experience, from the standout Athens flagship lounge to the onboard service, catering, and overall cabin experience. I also talk through how I managed to secure a business class using PlusGrade, and why it felt like exceptional value for what was delivered.
While there’s no fully lie-flat seat here, Aegean shows that business class is about far more than just the hardware. White tablecloths, pre-departure drinks, hot towels, and a genuinely full-service approach set this experience apart in a crowded intra-European market. Opa!
