With the evolution of the Miles&Bonus program, there are a number of threads on this forum that contain outdated information, plus a further set that - whilst describing the new program - contain conflicting information that has only been crystallised as we all discover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

Not exactly an A3 question but here I can find the highest concentration of ATH flyers: is there anywhere airside I can buy kataifi from?
Flying RHO-ATH-AMS with a 2h layover so leaving the airport is out of the question.
Thank you

The Hellenic Duty Free Shops have kataifi in their stores at the airport. You won't need to leave the security area. You may have to go to a larger one, e.g. near the A3/LH lounge or the main one behind the security (talking Schengen area).

Thank you for the quick reply! I'm planning on going to the lounge so I'll check out the shop there. Thank you again!

Does Aegean no longer publish comprehensive timetables, like they did once upon a time (see for example here: https://en.aegeanair.com/files/1/Con...5Timetable.pdf)? Do I have to use the search engine, https://en.aegeanair.com/plan/flight-schedules/?

I should probably know this but a search produced nothing. Do TAP flights (domestic and/or short international) operated by Portugalia have full *A benefits for an A3*G? I'm not too concerned about earning as I'll probably be in a non-earning class anyway, but lounge access and a free checked bag is a must. I'm talking about domestic (LIS-OPO) and maybe also MAD-OPO/LIS. The flight numbers are "main sequence" so I'm guessing yes. On LIS-OPO, for example, TP 1926 and TP1966 are operated by mainline A319 whereas TP1956 and TP1970 are on a Portugalia E190. Any first-hand experience?

Hi KLouis,
I think I visited the swiss business one 1.5 year ago, to be honest I find it better than the SAS lounge in CPH and United one in SFO(not the polaris), which I visited 2 months ago. Maybe the food offerings are of my taste. For sure the swiss lounge had a bigger variety of alcohol(but i am not very fun of it besides some good wine that I usually drink). I will let you know though.
I am more eager to see the LH lounge in ATH.
