Wouldn't it be worse for them (or me?) if I just didn't show up? Any advice? I can't find info anywhere.
You're probably best just not showing up and you would not be charged extra either for no-show or for cancelling. You won't get anything back for cancelling any economy ticket anyway and I suppose there is a slight chance that, between now and then, Aegean might cancel or change your flight. Even if they make a small change to your flight times (just 5 minutes on either leg) they will offer you the choice of a full refund! They don't HAVE to do that but it's what they have been doing recently. So... what I would do is wait until nearer the time (less than two weeks to departure). If the ticket is in Flex or ComfortFlex you could then find a cheap date in the future and re-book for free. Then you might eventually get a refund if they make a schedule change later. I wouldn't just give up and let them keep my money. I guess it depends if you can be bothered.
