With the evolution of the Miles&Bonus program, there are a number of threads on this forum that contain outdated information, plus a further set that - whilst describing the new program - contain conflicting information that has only been crystallised as we all discover how certain aspects of the program either work or are interpreted.
It is perhaps therefore unsurprising that many new members find searching through this myriad of threads a little daunting, and consequently they post a question in one of the FAQ threads.
This tends to irk those who've been around for a while who expect the new posters to at least do some basic searching before posting a question that has probably been asked many times before. This also causes the forums to become very congested and less easy to read through with the same question being asked and answered many times.
I am therefore creating a thread, which will be stickied, for anyone to ask any question they like about the M&B program where they are unsure or it's not obvious where they should be posting it.
There is no such thing in this thread as a stupid question, no issue with asking a repeat question, and any answers should be 100% flame-free. I will take a dim view of anyone that abuses a member or provides a less than helpful answer (such as 'do a search') to any question asked in here, because this is being created to benefit all of us so the other threads flow more cleanly. Thank you for your co-operation on this.
It might be that I move questions to more appropriate threads so they receive an answer more quickly, but if I do so I will always add a note to indicate where they originated, and ask that the flame-free answer principle be respected.

I wouldn't suggest that there running out of cash. Taking Airbus deliveries most likely is coming with some benefits. I don't know the composition of Aegean fleet (age of specific planes). There could be a chance they are saving some cash short term by getting new aircraft and parking ones that need extended maintenance.

Hi!
I am blue with 1 segment and 23.393 tier miles, by the end of november I will fly one more A3 segment. What is going to happen with my excess 11.393 tier miles?
Will I be silver with 11.393 tier miles for gold qualification or will I be silver with zero tier miles and I wasted my 11.393 excess miles?
Thanks in advance guys!

When you go up a tier the excess miles will always roll over. It doesn’t work that way for requalification at the same tier though (eg when retaining *G). So that works from Blue to Silver and Silver to Gold.

The only possible issue is that your 2nd segment might push you over 24000 miles. I'd like to think the system would react properly and upgrade you on "12k plus two segments" but, since the segment and miles post at exactly the same time, I hope it doesn't "see" the 24k before it sees the second segment. You'll probably be OK and have no problem at all if that segment earns less than 607 miles.
