Bucharest-Athens-Santorini connection flight and procedures

Let me add two more things

  • Yes, you should get both boarding passes, but sometimes for some reasons you cannot get the second one. Ask where you can get the second one (most likely a transfer desk in ATH, also ask directly when leaving the plane any staff where the transfer desk is).
  • If you travel hand-luggage only keep in mind what can and cannot be brought onto the plane (this is of course general, and not transfer specific)
  • Also (maybe this hasnt happened to you yet) Sometimes the plane is very full and at the gate you might be asked to hand over your hand-luggage, they will put it in the luggage storage (dont know the word) of the plane and usually you pick it up after landing next to the airplane (if a bus is bringing you to the terminal). Since in this case dont put your valuables inside the luggage (so pack that the valuable can be separated)

Every airline and airport are different, but here is the "standard" procedure

  1. You check-in online or at the airport. Online is available typically 24 hours before the departure of your first leg
  2. At check-in you should get both boarding passes
  3. When arriving in Athens you need to clear immigration since you are entering the Schengen area from Romania (which is NOT Schengen). Make sure you have the required Visa/documentation (depending on your passport)
  4. Follow the signs for "connecting flights". You may have to go through security again.
  5. Find your gate. It’s either already printed on your boarding pass or you need to look at the displays in the airport
  6. Hop on the plane. Enjoy Satorini

You do NOT stay in "international space" since ATH to JTR is a domestic Schengen flight. Both your arrival and departure areas are "airside" i.e. behind security but they are not necessarily connected.
