Hello,
For all the newbies that read your newsletter diligently can you explain in more detail regarding buying Aegean miles. Cost to buy, can I transfer them to Air Canada and does 60,000 points Canada to Europe mean starting anywhere in Canada ie: Calgary or Toronto.
Keep up the great work (and videos)

Hi Barry,
Can I transfer them to Air Canada?
No you can’t. Generally speaking, you can’t transfer miles from one program to another.
Cost to buy?
As mentioned in the post, 1.67 Euro cents (1.85 US cents)
Canada to Europe mean starting anywhere in Canada ie: Calgary or Toronto.
It is best for you to sign up Aegean program and play around with the redemption booking.
