So, its not simply fly 4K miles, and get Star Silver!
Or fly 20K miles and get Star Gold!
Ok, my above post was not well written.
Here is the link for earning Aegean miles through CO flights:

WESTNL fares on CO earn 50% EQM's.
So, if you fly CO, you really only have to fly 20K miles on non-WESTNL fares to earn 20K EQM"s and StarGold on A3!! This is a really good deal IMO. Especially, the fact that a Star Gold card from a foreign carrier will get you lounge access through the USA on your domestic itins!
Here is the link for earning Aegean miles on all Star partners:

Note that some airlines (with particular fare classes) earn a flat mileage rate.
