Travel documents

Before you set off to head to the airport, make sure you have your passport with you. We will ask for it. Keep in mind though that passports and milk have one thing in common. They expire. Please ensure yours is valid and up to date.

Travel documents for passengers aged 12 years and older:

Valid ID card or passport, depending on the country of destination. Only for domestic flights within the Greek Territory, in case of loss of identity card, you have the opportunity to travel with any other official document bearing your photo (e.g.Driver's License).

Medical certificates, in case here is a health problem that you should inform us about.

Travel documents for infants and children under the age of 12:

They have to carry a passport.

Only for domestic flights within the Greek Territory, either with an identification certificate or a birth certificate along with a recent photo of the child, validated by a Public Authority or a Citizens Service Centre (KEP).

In case the child travels only with one parent or guardian, an authorization validated by Public Authority, Citizens Service Centre (KEP) or electronically issued via the gov.gr platform is required, which gives permission for the child to be accompanied by that parent or guardian only. (The authorization must be signed by the other parent). For international flights the authorization, as described above, must be in English. If the parent travelling with the child carries an official document for full custody, no authorization is required.

Medical certificates, in case here is a health problem that you should inform us about.

Travel documents for pets:

Animal health booklet if you want to take a pet with you (dog, cat) as well as a statement / confirmation that you are the owner of the animal.
