Summary

Most international airlines are slightly strict with their luggage allowance.

So it is hard to say that if you show up to the airport with a large carry on bag that exceeds Aegean carry on size will make it on board the airplane.

So ensure that you take a small suitcase and take only what you will need during your trip.

We hope this helps
