Great article!

Something that may be interesting to mention. When someone is able to reach very high status in a programme (For example the new Aegean Platinum status), it may be worth considering trying to reach Gold level in two different programmes. For example Aegean M+B Gold and AFKL Flying Blue Gold. With that status you will get the majority of the important benefits, and you will gain price-independence from a single alliance. In other words, you can choose the cheapest/best flight from two alliances...rather than being 'forced' to stick with the one alliance.

This tactic may perhaps not work well when one only flies domestic within Greece, but when travelling internationally within Europe or outside, being able to choose flights from multiple alliances while still having all the status benefits, is extremely valuable.
