Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

    I’ve been gifted with over 90,000 miles. Is it worth trying to redeem them for award flights, or should I be prepared for hassle if things go wrong and just forget it ? Thanks.

    Fortunately Aegean is one of the most straightforward for redeeming award miles (kinda the opposite of TK) and you normally don’t get hit with large YQ.

    The only real downside is the stopover restriction – IIRC you can do A-B-C (eg with B as ATH) but can’t add more stopovers.

    You’re obviously not limited to A3 either so you can check award availability on other *A metal.
    There’s no First on A3 so no issues about having to be a top-tier member of the program you’re flying F on (eg Swiss F redemption).

    There’s a FlyerTalk thread on their Aegean forum that’s dedicated to award redemptions, so the best thing is to subscribe to that.
