Best time to be in Brussels: Apr–Jun · Sep. Fare history for this route is still thin, so we make no seasonal call yet.
The cheapest itinerary we are tracking flies Ryanair nonstop and takes about 3.5 hours outbound, on a 1-night trip. At $131 for 2,089 km each way, that works out to about $31 per 1,000 km flown. That is below the $41 typical of short-haul fares here. Across the 3 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Brussels, this fare ranks 3rd — 8% above the $121 from Istanbul. That puts it in the cheaper half of the 17 routes of similar length we watch out of Athens, where the middle fare is $143. We have 3 months of cached prices for this route so far — not enough to call a fare cheap or expensive, so we publish the price without a percentage.

ATH → BRU, answered.
How far in advance should I book ATH → Brussels?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for the levers we can measure.
Are there nonstop flights from Athens to Brussels?
Yes — the current board includes nonstop fares (Ryanair). The outbound leg runs around 3.5 hours.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on September 1). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
