WE LOVE AEGEAN AIRLINES! Not because it's the best airline in Europe for economy/business class but because it's the easiest airline to achieve STAR ALLIANCE SILVER/GOLD. Star Alliance is the largest airlines alliance where when you Gold you are a VIP even in economy-class with United, Lufthansa, Air Canada, Singapore Airlines, and many more! You unlock perks like unlimited access to first-class lounges, free upgrades to business/first class, extra baggage allowance fast-track security, and many more!
How to become Silver first?
Well, like everything in life it takes PATIENCE and LOYALTY but first, you need to register and start flying with Aegean and Star Alliance partners. Silver requires only 12,000 tier miles and it comes with decent benefits:
2 complimentary upgrades to business class (valued £500/year)
4 complimentary business class lounge access (valued £120/year)
10% extra award miles (valued £125/year)
How to earn Silver with £300 and half the miles!
What if you only had to fly 7,000 miles to achieve silver? By registering for the free Cypriot/Greek version of the Aegean credit card you earn 5,000 tier points by just registering fast-tracking your way to Silver as you now only need to fly 7,000 miles for Silver. Note that the 5,000 tier points earned are also redeemable, meaning that they can be used for business class upgrades and free flights by just paying taxes!

How many points will I earn when travelling?
Larnaca - London (layover in Athens) round-trip will earn approximately 4,500 miles.
They usually sell for £150 round-trip on off-peak making it a bargain and it is one of the few airlines still serving complimentary food and drinks in economy class. So, if you fly 2 round trips Larnaca-London with a layover in Athens you will be a Silver member unlocking free upgrades and lounge access for only £300!
