The changes are just too drastic in my opinion.. I am curious how many "customers" will A3 lose with this move.. seems to be following the BA-gate.
Cheers!
I don’t know the number but in my opinion it’s not the number of the flyers but the pocket of the flyers remaining. I don’t think aegean make much profit for someone who goes to Greece once per year and spend the rest of the year flying United or Lufthansa and using all the perks. With BA is completely different. BA gave us 3 months notice (ridiculous) they didn’t provide anymore benefits ( at least Aegean made the effort to provide some tiny ones) and the new thresholds are comical. I recently flew BA in PE, 1.1k ticket price and the “eligible spent” was less than 500. I will need to spend about 13k to just be silver. With Aegean you can still be gold with probably 1k or even less. Just curious how much do you spend with TK to keep status every year?
