Aegean Airlines and Visa are offering 30% off eligible international return fares from Greece, with bookings closing on October 21, 2026. The promotion covers travel from November 26, 2026, through March 27, 2027, including Christmas and New Year holidays.
Travellers must enter promotional code WINTERVISA26GR and pay with a Visa card in euros to qualify. The discount applies to the flight fare, while airport taxes remain payable in full.
The campaign gives Greece-based passengers an opportunity to reduce flight costs for overseas holidays, family visits and winter breaks. However, eligibility depends on the itinerary, operating airline, payment method and travel dates.
October Deadline Requires Early Decisions
The booking period runs from October 14 until 23:59 Greek time on Wednesday, October 21, 2026. Passengers must complete their purchases before that deadline, even when their planned journey takes place several months later.
The travel window stretches beyond the festive season into the first quarter of 2027. Consequently, eligible passengers can consider January breaks, February holidays or trips extending into late March.
Every flight within the reservation must fall between November 26 and March 27. An outward departure within the window does not qualify an itinerary if the return falls outside it.
Travellers should therefore check both dates before comparing fares or arranging accommodation.
Visa Payment and Promotional Code Are Essential
Customers can access the reduction after selecting their flights and adding them to the booking cart. They must enter WINTERVISA26GR in the promotional code field before completing payment.
Using a Visa card is a separate requirement. Visa payment without the code will not automatically activate the offer, while another payment card will not qualify.
Passengers should confirm that the reduction appears before approving the transaction. They should also review the final amount and any additional services selected during booking.
Reservations are available through the Aegean and Olympic Air websites and the Aegean mobile app. The purchase must use euros as its payment currency.
Eligible Routes Begin and End in Greece
The promotion covers qualifying international return journeys starting and finishing in Greece. Passengers may depart from one Greek airport and return through another, provided the itinerary meets all conditions.
Both direct and connecting journeys can qualify when Aegean Airlines or Olympic Air operates the flights. This provides flexibility for passengers comparing different routing options.
However, codeshare services are excluded. Travellers must check the operating carrier for every sector, particularly when connections involve several flights.
The distinction matters because an airline can sell a service that another carrier operates. A flight appearing within a booking does not automatically meet the promotion’s requirements.
Domestic-only journeys and one-way tickets fall outside the stated international return offer.
Fare Savings Differ From Total Ticket Savings
The advertised 30% reduction applies to the eligible flight fare rather than the complete ticket price. Airport taxes remain unchanged, reducing the percentage saving on the final total.
For example, a qualifying €200 fare would receive a €60 reduction before airport taxes. This calculation illustrates the offer and does not represent an advertised ticket price.
Passengers comparing travel dates should assess the final payable amount. A lower fare component can produce a different overall saving when taxes vary between itineraries.
Travellers should also account for accommodation, transfers and other holiday expenses when deciding whether a particular departure offers good value.
Families Can Book Up to Nine Passengers
Each reservation can include up to nine passengers, making the promotion relevant to families and small groups. Everyone sharing a booking must travel within an eligible itinerary.
The offer cannot combine with another discount code. Customers must use the designated promotional code to receive this particular reduction.
For group travel, checking names, dates and operating carriers before payment can help avoid unnecessary corrections. Coordinating the complete journey also matters when passengers plan separate onward arrangements.
Ticket Rules Still Govern Changes and Refunds
Discounted tickets retain the conditions of the fare purchased. Changes may involve fees and an additional fare difference, while refund eligibility depends on the applicable fare class.
Passengers should therefore review flexibility before committing to fixed holiday dates. The promotional saving does not make every ticket refundable or freely changeable.
For Greece-based outbound travellers, the campaign creates a defined opportunity to book winter journeys earlier. Potential benefits for overseas hotels and attractions depend on whether the reduced fares generate additional trips.
The immediate deadline remains October 21. Travellers whose plans meet the conditions can secure lower eligible fares for journeys through March 2027.
