Cheap flights to Crete: Get to Athens first

For cheap flights to Crete, Greece, all passengers must go to Athens first. The only exception is if a charter plane is hired to fly directly to Crete. This does occur from many major European capitals between the months of April thru October.

There are some low cost flights in November from Aegean Airlines for flights from London to Crete thru Athens starting at just $374.06. This is considered a direct flight by the online site that was used called skyscanner.

The best deal that could be found was for December 5 thru December 12 for a total of $141.78. It makes the same stopover in Athens but is considered an indirect flight. The airline’s is Olympic, maybe this is the reason. This airline is known for missing flights due to labor disputes.

If you are traveling from New York City’s JFK airport on the same dates in December then the price goes up to $577.99. There are 2 different airlines that you can book a flight on, Aegean and Olympic. Both flights start from NYC to Athens then on to Heraklion Greece. The total cost of these flights including taxes and fees are $735 and both take you across the Atlantic on Delta Airlines. The flight times are the same but the layovers will vary. Search for the flight that is right for you. With layovers from 1 hour and 40 minutes up to 12 hours and 40 minutes, the stopover could give you time to visits sites in Athens if you chose too.

The choice is yours but by having 12 hours to wait, sightseeing in Athens could be an enjoyable adventure when you book cheap flights to Crete.
