Going for Aegean Gold in 2018
Aegean Airlines Miles+Bonus is the frequent flyer program I decided to change to after United Mileage Plus and American AAdvantage went revenue based.
I am currently Aegean Silver elite after earning 12,000 Tier Miles and flying 2 Aegean flight segments between December 2016 and July 2017. United discount economy booking codes like K and N earn 50% flight miles as Tier Miles in Aegean Miles+Bonus.
Loyalty Traveler Aug 5, 2017 – Aegean Silver elite and 17,000 miles to Star Alliance Gold.
Aegean works on a 12-month calendar for elite qualification giving me until July 2018, one year from the date I earned Silver elite, to earn 24,000 Tier Miles + 4 Aegean flight segments to earn Miles+Bonus Gold elite, which includes Star Alliance Gold elite benefits.
Aegean Miles+Bonus Gold elite can also be earned with 48,000 Tier Miles and no Aegean flights in a 12-month period following Silver elite qualification.
I completed the 4 Aegean flight segments for Gold elite qualification in October. I need an additional 14,000 Tier Miles by next July . My last three ticket purchases for travel to Europe have been British Airways discount tickets.
SAS Airlines economy tickets earn 1:1 flight miles as Aegean Tier Miles. My plan is to book a $480 SAS ticket from Stockholm to San Francisco sometime this winter or spring and earn 12,000+ Tier Miles. A cheap United Airlines domestic flight or some SAS or Aegean intra-Europe flights will earn the remaining Tier Miles for Aegean Gold.
As long as British Airways is putting California to Europe on sale for under $400 round trip, I am happy to wait on earning Aegean Gold elite. I still have 8 months to pick up 14,000 Tier Miles.
In the meantime, an extra 500 Aegean miles for award tickets is a free bonus that posted instantly after I logged into the Aegean app.
