Nice! By far the cheapest redemption option for J to TLV on UA, LO and SQ. Ex-TLV it's even worthwhile over LifeMiles with the fuel surcharges, due to the significant savings in miles.
IMHO, DDMS can categorize as HOT as the only other way to earn Aegean (without flying) is from Marriott.

Btw, this also qualifies for 5x MR on the consumer platinum (tried and confirmed) and 3x UR on Reserve. Even those who book travel with Chase for the travel insurance, will be better with the Amex Platinum, since the insurance is irrelevant here.

That depends on how hight the fuel surcharges are. With LH and OS obscene YQ, Lifemiles seems to be a cheaper option.

Only ex-USA. Ex-TLV is usually between $250 - $300 total (including YQ and tax) and is 33k miles less than LM

Good to know. Though TK is 47,000 miles which can be transferred from Citi (I don't know what's the going rate for that). Also, TK sometimes has saver availability that doesn't show on western partners (which includes Aegean. It seems to show on Asian partners such as SQ)

Interesting. Does TK display availability for other *A partners, too? And do they charge YQ on partners or on their own metal?

Will this extend the life of existing miles?

Can only buy 30K+30K from an account without flights.
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.

called TK and they charge YQ on LX. or, for some obscene amount of additonal miles (i think he said close to 100,000 more) you can pay YQ in miles

Who doesn't charge YQ on LX other than UA, LM (that don't charge YQ anywhere) and AC (that is a mixed bag)?

Correct. Have not credited to my account in over 2 years and the miles are still there.
