AEGEAN adds Platinum, a new top Miles+Bonus tier that takes 72,000 tier miles and 32 flights

AEGEAN Airlines added a new top tier, Platinum, to its Miles+Bonus program on Nov. 5, 2026. The airline confirmed the launch in a Miles+Bonus news post that calls Platinum "the new highest tier." To earn it, members need 72,000 tier miles in 12 months, including at least 32 flights on AEGEAN or Olympic Air.

The 32-flight rule is the key detail. It means Platinum is built for people who fly AEGEAN often, not for Star Alliance travelers who credit other airlines' flights to Miles+Bonus.

How to qualify#

AEGEAN's Platinum tier page sets the same bar to earn and to keep the tier: 72,000 tier miles in the past 12 months, with at least 32 AEGEAN and/or Olympic Air flights. AEGEAN says only miles earned through flight activity count as tier miles.

NOMADIY adds that bought tier miles and certain card-earned miles do not count. It also notes that Platinum sits above Gold but does not add a higher Star Alliance level. Platinum members keep Star Alliance Gold benefits on partner airlines.

What Platinum members get#

AEGEAN's tier pages list these Platinum benefits:

• Free Standard, Up Front and Extra Legroom seats
• A guaranteed Economy seat on AEGEAN and Olympic Air flights
• A dedicated support team by phone or email
• Gold status for one person of the member's choice for 12 months
• No call center fees for ticketing, changes, name fixes or extras
• 30% extra award miles on AEGEAN and Olympic Air flights

AEGEAN's tiers and benefits page and NOMADIY also list AEGEAN Business Lounge access in Athens, Thessaloniki and Larnaca with up to eight companions on the same booking, plus two extra checked bags on AEGEAN and Olympic Air flights. AEGEAN's site blocked our checks on Nov. 9, so confirm the current wording there before you rely on a specific perk.

The gift of Gold status may be the most valuable perk for a household. A partner or family member who flies less can get Gold benefits for a year without earning them.

How the bonus miles compare#

AEGEAN's benefits table shows extra award miles on its own flights rising by tier:

Tier	Extra award miles
Silver	10%
Gold	20%
Platinum	30%

Award miles are the ones you spend on tickets. They are separate from tier miles, which count toward status.

Changes for Silver and Gold#

AEGEAN also changed the Silver and Gold tiers on Nov. 5. Its benefits page says it is adding new benefits to both tiers from that date.

NOMADIY reports that the airline also revised how members earn and keep those tiers. It says there are new routes based on a set number of AEGEAN or Olympic Air flights. One route to renew Gold, it reports, needs 18,000 tier miles and 12 AEGEAN or Olympic Air flights. When the new renewal rules apply depends on when your current status period ends.

Buying award miles#

AEGEAN's Platinum page also restates how members can buy award miles. They come in sets of 1,000 for €25 each, up to 50,000 award miles per membership year. That works out to 2.5 euro cents a mile, so buy only to top off an account for a specific award.

Who should care#

Platinum makes sense for travelers who live in Greece or Cyprus, or who fly AEGEAN's network many times a year. Thirty-two flights is 16 round trips, or about one every three weeks.

For everyone else, Gold is still the tier that unlocks Star Alliance Gold. The new top tier adds comfort and service on AEGEAN's own flights rather than new perks on partners.

Before you plan a status run, read the full rules on AEGEAN's Miles+Bonus site. The tier terms note that only flight activity counts, and the date your current status ends affects which rules apply to you.
