I was actually not offered the opportunity to bid and therefore price was not relevant to Aegean's refusal!
I am aware of the fact that this is an entirely new feature for A3; my point (not explicitly written out) was that for almost everything OA and A3 passengers share all resources. Of course this is not true for benefits to *A golds on OA, but other than that I am not aware of ant distinctions. As for your bidding, I misread
