SKY express: pulled out of the boarding queue in Milos and whole flight’s checked bags never left the island

Flew SKY express GQ411 Milos → Athens on 9 Oct. Two things.

(1) My wife and I were at the front of the boarding queue when staff told us to step aside and wait until every other passenger had gone through. Two other Taiwanese passengers were pulled out the same way. Four passengers pulled, all of them the Asian passengers in that line, and none of us was given any reason, ever.

(2) Every checked bag on the flight — not just ours — was left behind in Milos, so everyone arrived in Athens without their luggage. We filed a report and we’re still waiting. Case raised with SKY express, no explanation yet on either point. Posting as a warning if you’re flying the islands with checked bags.

Paros, Anti Paros, Athens

ok my new fav islands. Greece is beautiful! First time there. First pic is Paros, which is a "bigger town", theres everything. From there we were gonna go to Santorini, which is so turisty they said, but we lost the boat, so we picked any last minute boat and picked Anti Paros, which was a smaller Paros but so ADORABLE i mean im obsessed... And to end the trip i flew to Athens which was amazing, filled with history. HIGHLY RECOMEND ALL 3.

athens airport queues

does anyone know why the queues are so mental? i believe im in the queue for security/passport control. last time i travelled through athens, it was a breeze. fortunately, im in good time for my flight, but this is truly wild - never seen anything like it.
