Damaged Baggage
If your baggage is broken, torn, or damaged upon arrival, you must report it to the Aegean Lost & Found Office before leaving the arrivals hall. You will need:

- Your passport or ID.
- Your boarding pass.
If you only realize the damage after leaving the airport, you must report it to Aegean Customer Relations within seven days of arrival and provide:

Final Thoughts
Most international airlines are strict with baggage allowances, and Aegean Airlines is no exception.
If your carry-on bag exceeds the allowed size and weight, there is a chance it will not be accepted on board.
To avoid extra fees and last-minute stress, pack smart and travel light.
I hope this guide helps.
