Book Directly with Aegean or through United?
 
Newbie to Aegean. I will be flying from USA to Europe on American partner Iberia.
While in Europe, I need to fly from PRG to ATH to FCO. I want to fly Aegean but unsure if I should book through the United portal or directly with Aegean. United seems to want me to pay higher cost plus baggage fees. I do not have any mileage credit with either airline.

Thanks in advance and sorry if this question been posted. Tried searching!

If United charges you more and you are not a FF with them, then what would be the advantage of using them to buy your ticket? Use the Aegean site and basta! ;)

Always book direct unless you get additional benefits from booking via a 3rd party (shopping points bonus portals etc.).
for Intra-Europe flights, be careful to select the additional baggage you need during ticket purchase (most fares don’t include any baggage, even on national carriers such as Aegean).

Much thanks! I will book directly.

I think directly through Aegean will be best.
