The podcast highlighted Aegean Airlines as a unique Marriott Bonvoy transfer partner, noting its sweet spot for business class travel to Europe. For 55,000 miles, one can fly business class on a Star Alliance partner between North America and Europe, with specific favorable rates for economy and business class flights within North America on United or Air Canada.
