Greek Islands Pass - Valid?

Hi,

I would like to check one thing regarding the 4-day Greek Islands Pass.

I was checking a ferry from Piraeus-Koufonissi, and the only seat available are the “Airplane Type seats” and there is the option for discount “Greek Island pass 4 days -100% (Highspeed)”.

 

My question is: Can I use the 4-day Greek Island pass to book this ticket?

 

My major doubt is because it is an airplane type seat, not economy, and says the “(highspeed)” which I don’t know if it has some special meaning. Thanks if someone can give some input on this.

I am in a similar position myself - ​@Michel27 what was the outcome here? Was it ok to use this pass on this ferry? Many thanks :)

Hi ​@EdwardJN - Everything went well. I have just booked the tickets as described in the post, and took the Ferry. It was totally fine. :)

Excellent! ​@Michel27 

 

Sorry to pester, but did you book your (four, I assume) trips separately, or in one big booking? I am trying to book my four, and it keeps failing - tried about 6-7 times so far.

 

I assumed that it was failing because one leg was using the the highspeed pass, whilst for the other three legs used the standard pass.

 

Probably overthinking things and it may just be a technical glitch, but just wondering how you managed the booking?

 

Cheers for the help :)

Please explain at which exact step your booking fails. If there's an error message, please post a screenshot, or else post a screenshot of where you get stuck.

@EdwardJN - I booked it separately, as I also took other Ferries. Don't know if that has any impact.

@rvdborgt Everything works until the ‘confirm and book’ page. I press to confirm and book, and then I get the message saying that it fails

I was able to book Piraeus-Kouffonissi in Economy with a Greek Island Pass (100% discount), on www.bluestarferries.com.

I'd say try again with an anonymous browser window, on a pc. If that still doesn't work, call or mail Blue Star Ferries.
