Greece: Olympic Air versus Sky Express (ATH-JNX)
Hello,
We’re flying this route in August. Flight times / cost and baggage allowance is the same, so too is the aircraft type. Is there any discernible difference between either of these airlines in terms of service / on time reliability? It’s only a 40 minute flight so perhaps opportunities to differentiate are limited! Any experience/ views would be welcome.
Thanks in advance,

Yes, I went with SkyExpress. Both Fast Track and Lounge Access are included. Whether they apply on the day due to any CV19 restrictions remains to be seen! Expectations are set very low in any case!

I have flown SkyExpress once, and interestingly to JNX, because the fare was half than Olympic's. There was a lot of duct tape inside, lol...In general, A3/Olympic should be better. But for a 40 min flight, you will be fine...
