With about 309 km between HER and ATH (short-haul (up to 1,500 km)), compensation may be €250 per passenger (EU261), if you are entitled to it. All amounts

Does EU261 apply to Aegean Airlines flight A3 301?

Yes, EU261 may apply, as A3301 departs from Greece. Whether you are entitled to compensation depends on the cause, among other things.

Who operates Aegean Airlines flight A3 301?

In our data, Aegean Airlines is the airline selling A3301. Who actually operates the flight is shown on your ticket or booking confirmation.

Was A3 301 part of a connecting flight? How is compensation calculated?

Your booking shows this, not the flight number. If A3301 was part of a connecting journey on one booking, distance is counted from the first departure airport to the final destination, and the delay is counted on arrival at the final destination. The distance band (short-, medium- or long-haul) follows that distance and may then differ from this leg (€250 per passenger (EU261)).
