Hmmm....perhaps there are no tier miles on EY-operated flights after all....
CHAPTER 5: AEGEAN PARTNERSHIP WITH AIRLINE COMPANIES-MEMBERS OF STAR ALLIANCE
1.Members of the Programme can accrue and redeem miles on flights operated by Star Alliance member-airlines. It shall be made clear that the flight must be operated by any Star Alliance member-airline and not by other collaborating airline company (code-share flights). Individual Star Alliance member-carrier’s may also exclude mileage accrual on certain flight-ranges.
There is also the question - will an A3-coded, EY-operated flight count as one of the 4 necessary OA/A3 segments? I think it will, but we don't know yet. Still, for those going for Gold requalification, there is almost 3 full months at least to acquire that extra sector if it is required. But we should know long before taking these flights what the exact requirements are - the new programme launches Nov 24.
