For flights during xmas, to my surprise, I also found out that not all flights are available to be bought with the Aegean pass. I've ended up booking my flights with the pass even 30 days in advance, and effectively the 0 day in advance pass goes to waste. This is actually very frustrating, because you don't have access to "busy flights" or more generally flights on dates that would actually make sense to use the pass for (24 Dec for example). I find this to be misleading from Aegean's side, as this wasn't mentioned anywhere (please correct me if I'm wrong). Has anyone else noticed that? What was your experience?
I also confirmed this with a friend who was the ATH-LHR 7-day pass. Availability was limited.
I would re-check the program rules, because I also believe that what you are describing is not what was being offered through this program. Unless there is some clear exception in the rules I would call them and demand to be booked on the flights that you need. That's what the 0-day bundle is for.
Edit: Pretty clear if you ask me:
The AEGEAN Pass offers you last-seat availability, meaning that you will be allocated a seat even if there is only a last one left.
No black-out periods apply.
