*A Gold on Aegean
Thinking of booking LHR-ATH on Aegean for November, but I'm curious about *A Gold benefits on Aegean. The website doesn't say much, mostly about Miles&Bonus Gold stuff.
Is there free seat selection? Free bag on cheapest economy ticket? Gold Track in LHR/ATH? |
Now, I really don't understand what "*A Gold benefits on Aegean" as opposed to "Miles&Bonus Gold stuff". At any rate, when you say "The website", did you check this? Finally, as to your specific questions, the answers are yes for free Gold track and free bag, and a qualified yes for the seat selection: some of the seats that you can select for free (up-front and more legroom) do cost money. ;)

Assume no. But you should not be charged.
Special baggage allowance When you travel on any Aegean or Olympic Air flight, you are entitled to one (1) extra piece of baggage, free of charge, within the maximum allowed weight limit as per your ticket's booking class. It is clarified that the member is entitled to the benefit, provided that the Miles+Bonus member ID is included in the booking. |

This is a wrong answer concerning the free bag! I copy/pasted the following from their site and I can guarantee that I personally always got that:
OP stated, supported by your quote, that no information was available for non-A3 *G. The assumptions stated is for the worst case scenario. Hence, "assume". I did mention that OP should not be charged. That's where you fail to see. |
The point is that the OP is not M+B member - and the rules for M+B members vs 'other program' Gold members are not the same. Hence the OP's question.

It is not wrong, but your tunnel vision syndrome has made it wrong.

IIRC CHEAPEST ticket no luggage, even A3 Gold also Zero. but when ticket with 1 luggage , we can have 1 + 1. It seem like 0+0, 1+1, 2+1, 3+1

Thanks everyone for the input. :)
Yes, the question was around M+B Gold members vs 'other programme' Gold members (in my case, TAP). Like in most programmes, the rules are not the same for Gold of the airline's own programme and others. Still haven't booked A3 for my trip to Athens but I probably will. |
Since when do A3 Golds get zero luggage on A3? :confused: AFAIK, all *Gs get a free bag, regardless of ticket type, on A3 flights (for now, at least). When you throw Olympic Air (so, most domestic flights + some international ones?) into the mix, then it's A3 *G only.
AHC96, from the baggage page (bolding mine): Miles+Bonus Gold* & Star Alliance Gold Free baggage allowance: 3 pieces 32kg in Business or 2 pieces up to 23kg in Economy Flex or 1 piece up to 23kg in Economy GoLight Dimensions: 158 cm (62 inches) *The benefit is also available on Olympic Air flights. |

I can at least confirm this for Turkish Airlines. I'm a *G with TK and I do get a free bag on both domestic and international OA routes. My tickets clearly list "1 free (Gold Member) up to 23kg", and I also never had problems getting lounge access courtesy of my TK *G.when flying OA. |
Aegean have started charging even Aegean Gold for standard seat selection at check-in now. :( Bet it's only a matter of time till upgrade coupons go too.

On oa flights you can still snatch the extra legroom seats for free. |
