Aegean Airlines gets a lot of attention, especially from US flyers, because of their wonderful (old) elite program that let you achieve Star Gold with only 20,000 miles and keep it for 3 years without flying. Since November 24, that program has changed and status needs to be earned/retained each year. To read more about the new program, click here.
So, if you are looking for cheap flights on Aegean to get the 4 Aegean segments you need for the lower retention level for Gold, these flights will give you a great chance to do just that! Not only that, but they are adding 15 new destinations in the coming months which will give you even more opportunities to use your business class upgrades that come with Aegean Gold status.
