This time we went to the Mediterranean island of Cyprus during the Whitsun holidays. On the return journey, we were lucky enough to fly Aegean Airlines Business Class in the Airbus A321neo from Athens to Berlin.
Aegean Airlines is still one of my favourite airlines for travelling within Europe. The crew members are always friendly and welcoming and pride themselves on providing genuine Greek hospitality. To renew my frequent flyer status, I have to take four flights with the airline every year. I normally use my Business Class upgrade vouchers for these flights. However, as we were travelling to Cyprus as a family today, we took our seats in Aegean Airlines Economy Class and were curious to see if the service behind the curtain was just as good.
The new Aegean Business Lounge in Terminal A, the non-Schengen area of Athens Airport, was recently opened in April 2022. On my way to Sofia, I used the transfer time to check out the new Aegean Airlines flagship lounge at Athens airport.
After a long flight break due to the corona pandemic, we flew with Aegean Business Class in the Airbus A321-200 via Athens to Crete in autumn 2021. I was curious how Aegean Airline would operate their business class service during the Corona Pandemic.
Some may think I'm crazy to spend an afternoon during vacation in Greece with four flights. Sure, for the majority there is no point in flying to the island of Chios for just 25 minutes. However, I need this Mileage Run with Aegean Airlines to extend my Star Alliance Gold frequent flyer status for another year.
