OTP route
Just wandering because i don't find availability (except codeshare with Tarom). A3 does not fly to OTP anymore or it's just seasonal?

Flights are always quite full and for business/diaspora reasons the RO<->GR route is quite big - no way they would discontinue it or make it seasonal only.

Maybe because i was looking in the next 10 days and found nothing. Will double check (appears on kayak but when i click i got another price and the flight is operated by tarom). Remember it's a route almost always full, but looks like till 10/15 january is 100% full.

There is availability for sure if I check 8-9-10 January for example (checked only simple one ways ATH-OTP and OTP-ATH, perhaps could be that connections are somehow giving difficulties?)

Looks like there's daily service, some 2x daily. A3 may just not publish a fare between your city and OTP via ATH.

Remember that the A3 website never shows any connections that are longer than 4hrs. This might be your issue. You can either use the 'more options' button to enter your flights manually (although sometimes you get a messed-up fare quote for that which is way too expensive) or just use an OLTA. There are some really good fares available on this kind of routing that often don't show up direct with A3.
