The process to check in online with Aegean airlines, the main Greek airline, and a StarAlliance member, is pretty straightforward.

It is the occasion to give the Aegean Miles and Bonus frequent traveler number, or another membership number at a Star Alliance partner, to select the seat free of charge, or to select a seat with extra leg room for an extra price, to add a passenger in order to be able to seat next to each other, or also to enter the passport information when necessary, for example when traveling from the Schengen space to a non Schengen area.

The first step of the online check in with Aegean, is to enter the booking code that was given with the flight ticket, and the passenger last name, which are the only information necessary to start the online check in.

For example, it is possible to add an Aegean Miles Bonus membership number, but also any other StarAlliance partner member card number.

This will allow to collect miles for that Star Alliance flight on the given card, and eventually to get corresponding benefits, such as lounge access, priority boarding, or complimentary luggage check, as the Aegean airlines baggage allowance offers an extra luggage for the Aegean Miles and Bonus Gold members flying on their airlines.

Adding an Aegean airlines Miles and Bonus card number to a booking

Once the Aegean airlines Miles and Bonus, or any other flight network card number, has been added to the booking, the card number and membership level will be displayed, such as Aegean Miles and Bonus Gold in that example.

This will automatically update the Aegean airlines baggage allowance on the booking, as for some membership levels an extra piece of luggage can be checked in free of charge, without the need with Aegean to add baggage manually.

When it is not included in the booking, it is possible to add it to the reservation on these manage booking screens, even before the check in time is open.

Seat selection

The seat selection can be changed from the online check in screen, but a random seat is assigned by default. The lower the number, the closer the seat is from the front of the plane, and the higher the number, the closer the seat is from the back of the plane.

The letter A always means left window seat, and seats F or K always means right window seat. However, the later and the other letters epends on the type of plane, as different planes have different seat maps.

before reaching the airplane seat map, the detail of the available icons is displayed for reference.
