Aegean Airlines, a solid option for Star Alliance flyers, just revamped its Miles+Bonus loyalty program, and it's a mixed bag. Basically, earning or keeping Silver or Gold status is getting tougher – you'll need more flights or miles than before. This matters because those status perks, like lounge access and priority boarding, can make a big difference, especially when flying within Europe.

But it's not all bad news! Aegean's also introduced a brand new Platinum tier. The details are still emerging, but presumably, it will come with even better benefits than Gold.

So, why should you care? If you're an Aegean loyalist or rely on their status for Star Alliance benefits, pay close attention to these changes. You'll need to re-evaluate your travel strategy to see if chasing (or maintaining) your desired status still makes sense. It might mean squeezing in a few extra flights or shifting your loyalty elsewhere. Keep an eye out for more details on Platinum benefits to see if the juice is worth the squeeze!
