I recently traveled to Lisbon via Munich with Lufthansa. I paid 840 euros for economy class!!! No snack at all!!! Even for water on board you had to pay. We lost our luggage and our connecting flight due to Lufthansa s delay …. When I finally returned home I felt really exhausted ! Prices went up to every airline. So I think it’s better to stay home for a while .

I can 100% confirm. Being a frequent flyer with Aegean I have experienced the same “whatever” attitude towards COVID safety with passengers and crew. Aegean staff doesn’t seem to realize that when we fly on a sealed metal tube during a pandemic our health is on their hands and they are responsible for our health and safety…

What was price from Brussels to Athens ?
I have noticed that Aegean have started charging really silly prices for through fares via Athens. I suspect you would have got a much better deal if you had taken the ferry to Mykonos or booked a separate fare from Athens to Mykonos (maybe with a different airline) 500 euros is way too much. I can often get a business class fare from Berlin to Athens for under 200 Euros. If you are going to Mykonos consider a ferry from Rafina (much closer to airport)

After all, even if vaccinated, you can still get COVID, and you never know if those around you have been vaccinated or if they have underlying health issues.

Reading all these as a Greek and an Aegean ground staff and all I can say is, honestly, sounds kinda ridiculous.
You decided to travel in Mykonos one of the most crowded islands and places in Greece and after all you talk about the number of passengers inside the plane as well as the fact they gave you a snack.
Well if you are that worried about covid, why didn’t you stay home? Based on your article I can figure out that you didn’t travel there for business purposes, so why are you complaining? You are literally traveling abroad during a pandemic if you are that scared of the virus you could choose to travel some other period of time.. it’s that simple.
I think it’s widely known that in order to travel abroad you need to be vaccinated or have a PCR or RAPID test done accordingly as well as carry a PLF with you.
You are being over dramatic.
Over all, I hope you enjoyed your stay. 🙂

Thank you for sharing this, very glad to see travel picking up again, while being responsible about it.
I totally agreed with you on the proper use of masks.
Vaccine only goes so far and not everyone is vaccinated (and you don’t know by looking at someone if they have been).
Not wearing a mask properly in close proximity in an enclosed space like an aircraft is indeed a sign of disrespect and the fact that the airline staff didn’t enforce anything is mind-blowing to me.
I will definitely have the research the airlines more about their safety protocols and I am really looking forward to travelling again.
Hope you enjoy your long awaited trip.
Thanks again for sharing.

We are so excited to see you travel once again, and we agree with your assessment of those who are flippant about the use of face masks when traveling. After all, even if vaccinated, you can still get COVID, and you never know if those around you have been vaccinated or if they have underlying health issues.

Looking forward to your future posts.

I’ m glad to see your travel video again!
I agree with your action on the plane.
I also agree with Tesaozao.
Unfortunately, vaccination is delayed in Japan where I live.
I love traveling abroad,
so I’m looking forward to the day when I can go again.
But it’s still going to be ahead.
When the time comes,I will take a short trip somewhere in Japan for the first time.
Actually I haven’t traveled much in Japan.
Please come to Japan again someday.
There are luxury ryokans(hotels)where you can take a private hot spring bath.
(Foreign people seem to be not good at Japanese hot springs.)
Have a safe flight!

You are to be applauded for your responsible, cautious approach to wearing a mask while traveling in close proximity to others – even after being vaccinated. Vaccines are brilliant and life-saving, but the best vaccines are 95% effective in preventing disease, which leaves a 5% chance of contracting or transmitting a horrible, mutating virus (which hardly constitutes “no scientific basis for vaccinated people to mask“).

I continue to enjoy your reviews for their candor and fairness. Your videos are, of course, gorgeous, and we can hardly wait for more of them.

It’s so refreshing to see you travel again! I can’t wait for more videos. I agree about you wearing a mask on a plane and I would do the same. I don’t want to breathe in what other people breathe out. The pandemic is not over and we should all be careful in crowds, like airports or planes. If other people don’t like me wearing a mask or, if mindbogglingly, I put them off from vaccination, it just shows how brainless they are. People wearing masks under their nose or as a chin diaper are the reason why this pandemic is not over yet! We all want our old lives back already so stop being stupid!
