Night Layover in ATH as *A Gold
Hi everyone,
I am travelling to Heraklion in a few days, coming from Istanbul with TK1841 landing in ATH at 02:10 am and re-departing on OA300 (operated by A3) at 6:50 am.
As *A Gold (Miles&Smiles) I wondered which lounges I am eligible to in ATH, and at which time do they open ? I looked on *A website, but the information does not seem to be updated. On Aegean website, the entrance policy concerning *A Gold leaving on a OA flight is not very clear.
Thank you !

If it's A3 operated flight as was mentioned in the original question, then you can access the Aegean lounge for sure. Technically you should be able to use the Lufthansa lounge too, but since the flight number is OA, they may not investigate it deep enough (that it's operated by A3) to allow you in.

The LH lounge, for sure, you won't be able to enter. Even if the flight is operated by Aegean, the boarding pass will still show an OA flight number and that is what is used for access.
The Aegean lounge will be closed at night, opening again at 4 or 5 AM I believe.
