With the evolution of the Miles&Bonus program, there are a number of threads on this forum that contain outdated information, plus a further set that - whilst describing the new program - contain conflicting information that has only been crystallised as we all discover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.

We were given a Voucher last year (May 9th)due to the pandemic. The voucher is valid for bookings and flights that will take place within the next 18 months, from the date that this email was sent(ie May 9th). We used that voucher and booked flights for this May. Now we have to cancel and re-book for next year. Now does the original expiry apply if we rebook. When I rebooked for May 2021 I booked the Flex fare which allows for changes.

I vaguely remember reading something in a thread here about the new rules in place regarding seat upgrades with miles, but can't find the info I need now:
https://en.aegeanair.com/milesandbon...436.1574698429
Has anyone actually attempted to redeem miles to upgrade a Flex or Comfort Flex U, P or T fare? Didn't this rule use to be "not eligible are U, P, T light fares"? Strangely enough the "same" condition regarding upgrades with upgrade vouchers has remained as it was, not excluding U, P, T Flex or Comfort Flex fares, so I was considering the possibility that this might be an interpretation/expression error on behalf of the airline and that they still allow upgrades with miles in all flex and comfort flex fare... Any input on this would be greately appreciated.

As of 15.09.2020 the reservation must be ticketed, under the Flex or Comfort Flex fare category to be eligible for Upgrade Award. Booking classes not eligible for seat upgrade award are: U, P T

* For an upgrade with miles, not voucher of course.
