New route, mileage information unavailable
Curious if anybody has booked on a route that is not yet operating and noticed that it shows no mileage information. I booked SKG-AMS and noticed that the confirmation email doesn't mention how many miles I would receive. I decided to check the calculator and it says that the route doesn't exist. I am hoping that this is typical for upcoming routes and not some bizarre charter situation or something? I mean, email says operated by Aegean, so I would hope it is just an error...

Interesting development for the AMS route. It looks like that during the winter they will split the 2 daily slots at AMS between ATH and SKG, instead of solely ATH.
Still, an improvement over last winter where Aegean would scale back to 1 daily flight to Greece (from AMS).
Prices are a little wacky still, but those will come down. 116 euro for a one way in K class, means that the lower fare classes will be substantially cheaper once loaded. Adding an extra segment SKG-ATH does increase the price quite a bit, but also that will get better once more fares are loaded I presume.

But that's not a direct flight. A3 532 is SKG-FRA. That probably explains why the miles aren't shown as A3 have no control of how many LH will give you for FRA-AMS (spolier - probably ZERO).
EDIT: I thought you booked the top one in your graphic. Knowing Aegean, they probably just haven't got around to updating the mileage calculator. It's hardly a shock. You can get a good estimation of the mileage using something like Great Circle Mapper, which says 1185 miles. then apply the know percentages depending on the booking class.
