Aegean Miles+Bonus extended member tiers by 6 months back in March 2020 (read more here) and lowered tier qualification requirements by 25% in October (read more here).
The airline has extended member tiers of some members who have not qualified – very few have under the current situation in Europe, by full 12 months.

Greece hopes, however, to start welcoming foreign tourists from April, first from Europe and then on May 14, 2021, from elsewhere (read more here).
