Etihad Airways Etihad Guest - EY 018 LHR AUH 24 DEC equipment downgradeView Full Version : EY 018 LHR AUH 24 DEC equipment downgrade ptr120 Dec 4, 11, 2:56 pm My flight from LHR to AUH on 24 DEC has been downgraded from an A340-600 to an A330-300. Does anyone have any insight as to if this is due to lack of demand, of if the flight is likely to be overbooked? As I have time on my hands, the possibility of a VDB is tempting! m0hamed Dec 5, 11, 1:11 am My flight from LHR to AUH on 24 DEC has been downgraded from an A340-600 to an A330-300.

EY equipment downgrades generally reflect a lack of demand. CAI flights to and from AUH in Dec/Jan have been downgraded to 2 class for the same reason. sutrakhk Dec 5, 11, 4:11 am Actually what is your meaning of downgraded? The A330-300 have the latest product amount EY fleet^ ptr120 Dec 6, 11, 12:46 pm Actually what is your meaning of downgraded? The A330-300 have the latest product amount EY fleet^ Good point - I guess the only real 'downgrade' I'm likely to suffer is the chance of having a free adjacent seat in the event that I don't get an op-up. As the flight is currently showing 9's in almost all fare buckets, I guess it is really a zero-sum game. |
