Eurowings Adds Greek Island Connections via Aegean Partnership

Eurowings has introduced an interline agreement with Aegean Airlines, allowing flights to several Greek islands to be booked directly through its website. Since early March, travellers can arrange journeys to Kefalonia, Leros, Mytilini, Naxos and Syros, with connections via Athens or Thessaloniki. The move expands Eurowings’ reach beyond its own network by combining flights with another carrier under a single booking.

The agreement also includes access to additional destinations already served by Eurowings, such as Chania, Kalamata, Mykonos, Santorini and Samos, now with more routing options. The airline noted that it is one of the few ticketless carriers offering both codeshare and interline bookings through its own platform, and further partnerships are expected to follow.

Alongside the route expansion, Eurowings has updated its offer for Lufthansa Group status customers. HON Circle Members and Senators can now select extra legroom seats free of charge in SMART fares, add one more checked bag up to 23 kg, and carry golf equipment without extra cost. These additions are currently available after booking through the service centre.

What’s included in the update

• Interline bookings with Aegean Airlines now available
• Access to five additional Greek islands via connections
• New benefits for HON Circle and Senator members
• Login via Lufthansa Group Travel ID introduced

The changes make it easier to reach smaller Greek islands that often require multiple bookings or local connections. Places such as Naxos or Leros, which are less directly connected, become simpler to include in a single itinerary. With Athens and Thessaloniki acting as transfer points, trips combining mainland cities and island stays are now easier to plan in one go.

Airlines are expanding their reach without adding new direct flights. By working with partners, they can sell more destinations through the same hubs and combine routes into one booking. This also changes how tickets are handled, with fewer separate reservations and more journeys planned as a single trip, especially when smaller regional connections are involved.
