Hope none of my UnTUTable friends mind that I changed our thread title!
We are at the Athens airport awaiting our flight to Santorini. The shuttle they assigned us departed at 6:00 am & our flight isn't until 11:00. Good thing though as we would have never made it if we'd taken the 9:00.
Took a shuttle from the ship to the terminal where we had to locate our bags. Someone had taken Jerel's bag with them to the airport on the 4:00 am shuttle by mistake. The rep told us not to worry as there was someone with the bag at the airport.
Once we had all our luggage we proceeded to the bus. The Regent rep asked us all what flights we were on so she could let us know our check-in area. Some people were headed to Istanbul & Tel Aviv, but it seemed like most were headed home.
It took about 45 minutes to get to the airport. When we arrived Jerel's bag was there (yay!). We found our check-in area complete with a huge line. We were able to check in by kiosk but still had to stand in line to drop our bags off. It moved pretty quickly though. I would say we only waited about 20 minutes. Even better, the agent didn't give us any problems with checking 3 bags. I was worried we would have to pay a huge overage fee.
We've just finished a bit of breakfast & will just relax since we have 2 hrs until our flight.
I will check in & let you know how Santorini is. Oh - we still don't know how we're getting home from Athens yet. I sent Guest Relations an email letting them know we had left the ship & asked them to send me an email when we are booked.
