If not, you can stay in the non-Schengen zone (as it seems that the flight will leave from the A gates which are non Schengen) and would need to indicate "transit" on the PLF.
So if we don't have luggage checked, is it possible to transit airside, assuming we have online boarding passes on Aegean?
Also, do you think I should fill out a PLF regardless? Does Greece look badly on someone who filled a PLF but never ended up using it?
