The A3 lounge at ATH is a nice and relaxing place to spend some time before the trip. Catering is good with a wide assortment of snacks. Too bad that the only view is of the exterior of the airport and not the tarmac.
Flying A3 for the first time was a great experience. The inflight crew looked sharp and the attitude was professional and friendly. Catering is excellent and in my opinion is in the league of TK. It's no surprise that A3 has been named "Best Regional Carrier" by Skytrax. The only con is the cabin seat which i found a bit thinner than competitors.

Decent food selection for both lounges while the quality of LH lounge seems better. The refrigerated salad in A3 lounge not looking good. Nice tarmac and aerial shots.
It is nice to have the low loaded J cabin^^ The crew look like having a good mood and they are attentive. The catering on this flight is fantastic. A full J meal services. Very visually appealing and the portion is generous for this regional flight.
Looking forward to next report and Happy Halloween! :P
Happy Halloween to you too. Sometimes I am scared of flying so much. :P
Food is better at the LH lounge, but the lack of space to sit is a big turn off. It was a beautiful day for aerial shots.
Thanks for your comments.
A3 is truly a gem. Too bad that they are just a regional player and does not have a bigger network.
Thanks.
However, A3 lounge desing is much nicer.
Pitch onboard is quite good
What I like about the meal you had is that everything is not served at one time. It's paced and it looks beautiful indeed.
Good cabin, good food. What else on a medium haul flight?
Thank you Adan
This first time experience with A3 left me with a very positive impression of the carrier. Catering as you said was served in courses and well paced according to each individual. This was one of the most satisfying meals that I have ever had and it shows that A3 pays attention to details.
Thanks for passing by.
Beautiful spotting shots at ATH.
“Eventually the door closed and we taxied out to the runway.”
- Nice catch of that 747, beautiful background!
Catering looks fantastic on this flight, impressive stuff. Presentation was nice too.
Have a good one, see you!

Now I can see what I missed on the other side of the LH Lounge. Looks to be better food than in the A3 Lounge, which was mainly pastries and pies.
The A3 hard-product is really the only downside to them. Installing a real J cabin would really do them a lot of favors since it would help attract more passengers. Their route map is so limited as it is that I don't see how they can regularly fill their J cabins (this is also why I've never seen a JU cabin more than 50% full). The catering does look very good and the menu is a nice touch. The dessert plate was very nicely presented.
Great aerials on departure from ATH.
I still don't know how I feel about the "casual" sleeveless FA uniforms, they aren't so noticeable with the jacket on, but still quite unusual.
I can see A3 benefit from a better J cabin. Those thin ironing boards just don't do it for me. As for the sleveless uniforms, I think that they are fine for summer but they should have another outfit for colder weather. I agree that it can be very casual, but I guess that forces the crew to be better groomed.
