Aagean no longer offers shortcut to Star Alliance Gold
Aegean Airlines used to offer the quickest route to a Star Alliance Gold, only needing a total of 16,000 miles within a year.
That was pretty awesome - as Star Alliance Gold offers benefits such as priority check-in, additional luggage, lounge access, and the list goes on. However, I received an email circular from them today that they would be introducing a new Miles+Bonus program from 24 November onwards.
There are some great new introductions such as :
- “Together” program that allows up to 6 people to collect miles into a common account.
- “Happy Miles” service that allows you to redeem less miles in pre-selected flights.
The bad news is the new Silver Tier.
Kindly note that the new Silver Tier will be granted to the Blue members that have accrued more than 8,000 Tier Miles (including at least 2 flights with Aegean or Olympic Air) or 16,000 Tier Miles in total, within the past 12 months from the new Miles+Bonus launch date. Current Gold members will be automatically transferred to the Gold Tier, regardless of their past flight activity.Find out everything about the new Miles+Bonus here.
The new Gold requirements are significant: a total of 48,000 miles required, or 24,000 if you fly 4 flights with them. That's unfortunate, and now I'm stuck with miles accrued halfway to the former gold status.
