We have a Delta flight (DL 138) that lands in Athens at 10:50 AM from Atlanta. I am trying to find out what is reasonable transit time to catch another flight out of Athens.

Alitalia has a 12:50 pm flight onward to Milan. We are trying to figure out if it is reasonable to clear customs in Athens and then check back in and clear security within two hours.

My gut is that it is tight and we'd be better to book the 6:00 pm flight and go standby for the 12:50 if lines are short.

-- Does anyone have experience trying a transit like this in Athens?

Oh, and any reasonable person would also ask "why are we doing this?" Well, Skysaver BE tickets using old miles makes a little detour worthwhile.

Many thanks!
