Air Algérie announces Algiers to Athens route from 34,177 dinars

Air Algérie will start a new route from Algiers to Athens, the capital of Greece, with tickets from 34,177 dinars (DZD).

Several media first reported the route on 3 November, including ObservAlgerie, which published the fare this week.

Athens is known for its historic heritage. It is also an entry point to the regions and islands of Greece.

The new link adds to the airline's European network and gives Algerian travellers another way to reach the Greek capital.

The 34,177 dinars fare is a starting price, not a guaranteed amount for every travel date. The final cost may vary with the dates, seats and fare conditions.

The available information does not say whether the fare is one-way or return, and it does not give baggage conditions.

Passengers can check the exact cost on the official Air Algérie website or at one of the company's sales agencies.

The weekly flight frequency, departure times and exact start date have not yet been announced by the official sources.

Greece is part of the Schengen area. Holders of ordinary Algerian passports must, unless they are exempt, have a visa suited to their stay.

The opening of the route does not change these requirements.

Details still to come include flight days, departure times, ticket conditions and the dates when sales open.
