With the evolution of the Miles&Bonus program, there are a number of threads on this forum that contain outdated information, plus a further set that - whilst describing the new program - contain conflicting information that has only been crystallised as we all discover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

Are the U/G coupon be used for a travelling companion? Can the U/G be done only on a single PNR or can be in separate PNRs too?

What happens if you don't manage to re-qualify for gold status? Do you lose all the status or get demoted to silver?

They can be used for literally anyone. You don't even need to be travelling yourself.

Hi guys I can't seem to find the post anymore. Sorry, this is a noob question, light fare class tickets do count towards sectors when requalifying for status right? Thanks~!

Yes they do. Only charter flights on A3 don't.

Renewal start when?

I have Gold status. The app ​says "Your tier has been retained up to 23/05/2023", but right above is the virtual gold card which says "24/05/2023".

What is the first day in 2022 I can take a flight counting towards requalification?

Yeah that's something I'd like to know too. I guess one year before the end of that date we can start collecting miles towards next year's renewal.

And what time and zone is relevant: Departure or Arrival? Local time, UTC, Athens time?

Say a pax (non-status) wants to fly BEY-ATH-VIE in Economy with 2 pieces of checked luggage 20 kg each. How much does that cost in baggage fees in Light, Flex, Comfort?

I can't figure it out from the Aegean website before booking a ticket.

Yeah that's always worried me but I've checked before and it means your status is still valid until end of 23rd and you can start earning from 24th. I believe local scheduled departure time is used, but somebody else would have to confirm that. In any case, I always leave a day's grace either side if I'm worried about qualification. It IS confusing.

It looks pretty simple from making a dummy booking. 29 Euro per bag, so 58 Euro in Light or Flex, 29 Euro in ComfortFlex.

Thank you. I wish it was easier to find.

That means, BEY-ATH-VIE is cheaper than NCE-ATH-LCA (€34). Interesting.

I messed up on an A3 booking and misspelled my name by putting in an extra letter in the surname. The booking was made through an OTA.

I need the flight to requalify for gold which otherwise expires in two weeks. When adding the booking to my account, the system does seem to recognize my gold status (as it says I can bring 1 piece of luggage for free and I can preorder seats at a discount), but i am of course anxious that when flying it will not be added to my tally.

Would someone in here know if the name on the ticket needs to match my account name exactly or if there is room a misspelled letter?
