Athens to Abu Dhabi: Non-stop for €161 with Aegean (€277 with Luggage)
The route between Athens and Abu Dhabi regularly offers great prices. This is mostly due to low-cast carrier Wizz Air offering round trips between the cities for €122, including 10 kg of hand luggage. While legacy airlines like Etihad and Aegean cannot quite compete with that price, they are doing their best to stay competitive on the route. First, Etihad dropped its prices to merely €159, and now Greece’s national airline and Star Alliance member Aegean has followed suit, now also only charging €161 for a round trip to the capital of the United Arab Emirates.

Aegean’s flight to Abu Dhabi is new, scheduled to start operations in late October 2024. Aegean will use an Airbus A320neo for the 4-to-5-hour flights. The economy class onboard has a 3-3 alignment. During the flight, you’ll be served a “light meal”.
Visa Info
Most Europeans do not need a visa to travel to the United Arab Emirates, as long as they don’t stay for over 90 days within a 180-day period. You do, however, need a passport, and a ticket to leave the country again.
By the way, you can also book these tickets as one-way tickets for exactly half the price. However, remember that you need to book a ticket to leave the United Arab Emirates before flying there.
Search & Book
The fare rules don’t mention any restrictions, other than that cancelling your ticket is possible and would only cost €60 (if you don’t book the Light fare).
According to Google Flights, this price is available between January and March 2025. You can also use our own calendar above to see which dates would suit you best. It will then redirect you to Aegean’s booking site.
