Day 1, Sunday, September 22, 2024 Depart U.S. for Athens
I’m traveling with my two sisters-in-law, Deborah and Dee with Odysseys Unlimited . We departed the U.S. for Athens Greece from the Rochester Greater International airport at 10:05 AM. We arrived at EWR Newark Liberty International At 11:30AM. Our flight to Athens was supposed to depart at 3:45 PM and arrive at 8:10 AM (Monday, 09/23) but our plane was delayed three hours. When the luggage was loaded the ramp hit the fuselage and caused a dent. The plane is made of fiberglass so the crew had to call Boing to see if it was safe to fly. The maintenance crew was able to repair the plane and we departed about 7 PM and arrived safely at about 11:30 AM.
