Flying from London Heathrow
Heathrow is the UK's main long-haul hub and the airport where full-service carriers concentrate their schedule rather than chase price. Expect five terminals, fast Tube and Elizabeth Line links into central London, and a route map that skews toward business-traveller frequency: more daily slots, fewer fare wars. Short-haul fares from Heathrow tend to run a little higher than Gatwick or Stansted on the same corridor — the trade-off is a wider choice of airline and a more reliable timetable.
Arriving in Athens
Athens International is Greece's main hub and Aegean Airlines' base, 30 km southeast of the city. Metro Line 3 reaches Syntagma Square in 40 minutes for €9. Athens is the gateway for Greek-island connections — most passengers transfer to a domestic Aegean or Olympic flight. UK fares peak in July and August; April–early June and September–October offer the best price-to-weather ratio.
