For those who thought a flight every 3 years was unnecessary:

Great data point.
Where did you see this?

A3 only joined *G 06/30/10, so it had to be someone really on top of the game.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Oy!

Have any flights that you didn't credit anywhere?
How did you earn it so quickly?

Nah, I'm guessing he's okay. IIRC, Chaikel once mentioned to me (in person, not on DDF) that he had an older A3 account with a few miles in it that he was gonna merge with his newer one (with the majority of miles in it), before he realized that according to the T&C, they may nuke the newer account (even in the older one only had 1k and the newer one 19k). So it's probably his older, abandoned account that expired.

CMIIW, Chaikel. :)

LOL. United or Chase, maybe. But if Aegean has someone monitoring DDF, I'll eat my hat. And even if they do... good luck finding an account for someone with a first or last name of "Chaikel" in their system. ;D

I just flew Swiss and took an extra suitcase using my A3*g,but when I wanted to change my ff # at the gate to united, the gate agent(who was the same guy who checked me in) refused ,saying that if I change my A3 num,he will charge me for the extra suitcase I took!! No arguing was able to convince the guy.....

Another wierd thing with Swiss, was that even though my wife is A3 *g ,and had I had a printed email confirmation saying that(we didn't get the card yet), on the Swiss system she only came up as A3*s....

had a simpler situation, next time just call the airline from the gate, they can easily change it.

I want to clarify, after gaining *AG you still have to give your Aegean FFN on every flight in order to get *AG privileges?

In the end, I switched my ff# to UA in Zurich and both of my flights- including my first leg were credited to UA, even though the ff number on the first leg wasn't switched!!(my first boarding passes had my A3 printed out) works for me,but weird though, wondering if that happens often.....

Can someone help me out... I have two days to decide whether to keep my Chase United Club Card for $395. I am weighing the pros and cons. My major question that I have is whether to go for aegean gold. If i go for gold status then when i fly united i will put the Aegean FF # in. Does this mean that I wont be honored my two free bags that I get with my Club card? Because if I wont get the two free bags then the card is really not so worth it as I have stock piled passes to the club lounge anyway... Any advice? TIA

You get 3 bags with Aegean gold when flying UA.

Thanks but that's not exactly what I meant.
I meant should I keep the card... And maybe some information if its true that if I use my Aegean number I won't get the two free bags that I get with my club card ( before I become gold on Aegean)

After earning gold, How can I receive the gold benefits, yet directing my flights to other FF airline?

How soon after check in do you have to do this in order to ensure the miles dont credit to aegean? As in if i fly without a phone or any other internet access can i change the ffn after the flight?
or can i check in online a day in advance and then change the ffn?
