Fri, 6 Jun 2008 16:53:19 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ulysses4 - Looks like the existing Epinions reviews are getting a little long in the tooth! It is Olympic Airlines now. While an experience with two short flights doesn't make for a definitive judgment, perhaps a little current intelligence might be helpful. The...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author babyzee - Flew JFK to Athens back to JFK in March 2008. Extremely grumpy crew. They actually argued all night with passengers, loudly, in Greek. The passengers were irritated about something. Then one of them said in English "a lady in the back fainted", to which...

Mon, 10 Nov 2003 16:24:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ddsoulto - I am so sick and tired of people who complain all the time and for no reason.

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author umfufu - First of all, if you are hoping to speak english on the phone to Olympic, be prepared to hear a lot of greek, then have the phone hung up on you at least twice before someone grudgingly agrees to lower themselves and speak english back to you. Don't...
