I do expect some delay, but no response at all is a bit much really. There's no point even trying the call centre as the poor agents won't be able to do anything for me anyway - I'm trying to refuse a voucher and get an actual refund for the cancelled flight and I'm sure they'd just tell me to email a request anyway.

Hss anybody else had any Email (or Twittier) response recently?
This is very strange. Have you sent them a Direct Message on Twitter, or just or normal Tweet?

I have been in contact with them several times in recent days. Saturday evening I was able to get through to the call centre after waiting only 1 minute, and they have responded to my Twitter DM several times. In fact, yesterday morning they replied within 10 minutes!

Call Centre Disconnections

Hello All.

I received an email from Aegean that my Miles and Bonus reward ticket had been cancelled. Ive just called the call centre using the gold member number on the back of the card (210 6261000) two times in the last 30 minutes and both times the call was disconnected at the 10 minute mark while I was waiting for an agent. Has anyone else been having the same difficulties calling (its about 11:00 am on Wednesday)? Can anyone perhaps suggest a better number to call. The flight was scheduled for June 7. Thank you.

It seems that the max wait is 10mins. If no one picks up, it will disconnect.

I called yesterday at 11:30AM (Greek time). It took me a couple of tries for the line to ring (and get into the IVR menu), but once there, it had only a ~1 minute wait time.

Ok, nothing wrong, just an automatic disconnect at 10 minutes. I guess just keep trying at various times and eventually someone will pick up.

Yes, I looked at previous posts and realized there is a different number. The number on the back of the gold card is the general number - need to sign in to your account to get gold number. Thanks powergean.

Today was my first experience calling A3 and I have to admit I'm impressed. I got hit with a double whammy of outbound direct flight cancelled and inbound direct flight postponed by 6 hours (into the wee hours of the morning). I called in and got through in less than 5 mins to an extremely competent agent that was also trilingual (spoke fluent Greek, English and Italian). She managed to rebook both legs through ATH on a much more expensive ticket, no questions asked, and the whole process must have taken less than 2 mins. Puts a lot of the "efficient" northern European carriers to shame.

Indeed! The wait times are always very short and, most amazingly, they actually ring you back if they say they will. Thats a rarity from most companies these days but from an airline, its unrivalled in my experience.

I agree. I have called them a few times lately. Basically no waiting time and efficient service.
Perfect.

I experience with BA was that they would say they tried to call but I hadn't missed any calls. I have never needed for A3 to call me back but the CC is veru efficient and fast with Gold related issues and just booking changes.
