Olympic owns a very competitive ffp but is not a member of any alliance.
The age of the fleet was answered earlier. the flight catering is almost identical (although I prefer A3's peanuts ), and both fly Airbuses to Thessaloniki. What I don't understand though, is how you "measure" freshness and how A3's crew misbehaves. I fly both, dpending on schedule, thus I have nothing against OA, and I firmly believe that your opinion needs some explaning.
