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.
Thanks, appreciate that.
What are you expecting to go wrong?
You can use them on any Star Alliance airlines.
Depending on the circumstances of the person who gave you the miles, A3 fraud department has been known to abruptly demand you send them a copy of your passport within 5 days under threat of closing all related accounts.
I’ve just received an email that you can now redeem on Emirates. 90k miles apparently gets you return to Middle East in First! No idea how much inventory exists though.

I thought EK F was only available on EK, QF and AC.
This is what the Aegean page says about Emirates: Redeem award Miles for Emirates Economy Class and Business Class tickets to more than 140 destinations worldwide
No mention of First there.
