In my opinion, the mileage earning revisions are eminently sensible and fully justified by commercial logic. The main changes for both domestic and international flights appear to be a reduction in earnings for eco-light fare buckets - in the case of international flights, only the two more expensive sets of eco-light fare buckets are affected. Balancing these cuts, there are significant increases in earnings for many flex and business fares, especially for domestic flights. This will allow Aegean to increase the currently small pricing difference between light and flex economy fares.

Aegean have also been eminently fair in ensuring that all tickets booked up to December 29th will gain mileage credit at the current rates. All those who crave *G status without actually flying frequently as part of their normal everyday life (for reasons that I cannot personally understand) had better rush to make their bookings in the next few days! But, be aware, rebookings of subsequently cancelled eco-light flights will earn mileage at the soon-to-be reduced rate.
