I'm not sure how easy it is to redeem flights with Aegean, that's a question for a more experienced Star Alliance flyer.
Thanks Steve, that is very helpful. The only reason I am hesitant about Air India is because over the years it has become unfriendly and unwelcoming (hoping that the takeover will help).
Which credit cards would you suggest for a first timer in the Indian market which will compliment the FFP?
