One experience of changing date ATH - LHR

Will be interesting how many different experiences there on this. Thought I’d share mine.

We rebooked a flight during the eligibility period (for the date monday 19th October). All good.

Unfortunately for us an air traffic control strike was announced for this date but only after the offer had closed on the 14th October. Aegean had no info about this this on their site and were still taking bookings for the date. I guess that they hoped the strike would be cancelled as has happened before. [Edit- the strike did go ahead after all covering Sunday 18th & Monday 19th October]

We didn’t want the uncertainty so decided to do an online change. Fully accepting that this may mean losing the double points bonus. That’s exactly what happened. We flew back on Saturday. Points have just posted to our accounts without the bonus.

Just to be clear am not complaining about this at all! Sharing so other have the info for their own planning.
