They did not load the plane with our bags. We flew out of the Naxos airport, which only has one gate and one runway. So, only one plane can fly in and out of that airport.

Whoever was ever loading the plane did an awful job. They managed to leave behind several peoples luggage. All of which had connecting flights and had to leave their bags behind.

We have AirTags in our luggage. We noticed they were left behind in Naxos when we arrived in Athens. We went to baggage tracing and they said our bags will be on the next flight from Naxos to Athens. Unfortunately, we couldn’t wait around for them because we had a connecting flight to Munich.

When we landed in Munich, we saw our bags made it to Athens. We’ve filled out the claims form and have contacted our travel insurance to get our bags back. We’ve been told we just have to wait it out.

Now, the airline is of no help. I don’t think the airline realizes that people have connecting flights and cannot wait around for hours for their luggage. Literally the worst airline and I will never be flying Olympic again.

Olympic Air used an Atr 42 Propeller Aircraft on Flight OA017.
This means that on-board Cabin Baggage Weight and Size are Strictly Enforced.
Boarding Passes and Checked Bags all went smoothly.
Quick boarding. Full Aircraft. Flight Attendant served a water and cookies to us all. Captain gave Flight and weather details and then we were on descent into Athens Airport.
35 mins Flight! Smooth Landing and Shuttle Bus took us to Terminal and our Bags showed up intact on the Baggage Belt! Fantastic!
Plus, Baggage Belt details are messaged to you when you turn your phone on!

Waiting longer for the baggage claim to get my luggage
than the actual flight duration was. Wtf!?!
Misses my connection flight because of this mess. Never ever again.

We had a flight with Aegean airlines from Naples to Athens, then a flight from Athens to Milos. Our flight with Aegean was delayed and we had a short amount of time to get onto the next flight. We were in a rush to make our flight and all of the staff at Olympic airlines were SO rude to us when we asked for help. They offered no assistance and just told us we better hurry up otherwise they’d close the gates. Our bags from Aegean airlines were delayed and we didn’t receive them until an hour after we had landed, so we missed our flight. They sent us away saying there was nothing they could do.

Both flights were on time, friendly crew and there was an inflight service for this 25 minutes flight. Airplane was clean. Due to short runway only 25 passengers could board on departure from Kastellorizo.
