I would be interesting to know why they stopped Golden Ticket early.

I can assure you that buying with OTAs works out cheaper. I have NEVER booked a revenue ticket on Aegean's website, quite simply because I always find the flights at least 5 EUR cheaper. Sometimes, when the OTA has a discount, the price can be as much as 15 EUR cheaper. My method is to find the flights on Google Flights, then click through to check on A3's website that it is accurate. Then I go to Skyscanner or Momondo, checking each countries prices and there are always agents who undercut A3.

It's not an exaggeration to say that over the last 3 years on 34 Aegean/Olympic flights booked using agents I have saved at least 300 EUR.
