Everything you've said holds true, although I'd also look into TK, who have a similarly low *G threshold. If you can make it, I'd go for them, because they're a much larger airline and less prone to witchhunts by other *A heavyweights who seem to dislike the number of A3 *G in their lounges. But you should be just fine with A3 as well for the time being.

Hi
I am traveling to the US in mar-apr (DEL-JFK round trip). I was wondering if i can get *G with this trip. I would also travel to ORD-LAX-SFO. The avg. price on ITA is around $1100 economy but after checking the required booking class to get 100% miles on Aegean website the price increases by 80%.
My question is, is it worth spending so much or maybe i am all wrong on checking the fares (Airlines that I checked were LH, UA and US.

Since US is joining oneworld as per 31 march, you must be careful what airlines you fly if you want to credit to any star alliance programme.
As for if it is worth it, no one really can answer that except yourself.

Well, this is the hard work you need to do yourself. Asking people to do the work for you will not get you far.
If I do a quick sample search, I get about the same results as you: DEL-JFK via MUC on LH in march seems to be around 117 000 IDR for a Q class economy fare, earning around 15400 miles to M&B.

I was asking for sample search only. Just to make sure I was correct, as I am new to ita. Thanks for checking.

It usually does.
On LX you might even be able to do an extra hop (DEL-ZRH-GVA-JFK) to get one leg more and 500 miles extra.

Does Aegean has any issue with duplicate accounts registered to the same residence?
I create m&b account for one family member with the wrong surname. Found out i couldn't change it inside the account. Rather than having the trouble of contacting Aegean to change the surname i simply created another account with the right surname. Every info and email registered was same(except surname) and registration was OK.
Im just worried they might detect the two account and delete both for being duplicates.

Can I just change the date and flight time for 40€ (SKG-MUC) or is it possible to change the destination SKG-FRA too?
Thanks for help
