* fare does not apply for passengers from the US.

There don't seem to seem to be any T's and C's so can't really tell what is an isn't allowed but the use of the ''* fare does not apply for passengers from the US'' suggests to me that all other countries are included. Also doesn't say whether it applies to Y only or what fare buckets are included.

I imagine that taxes will have to be paid on the 'free ticket' but still makes this a decent offer.

But assuming you can depart from anywhere and in C then you can get bargains such as the following (discount included):

FRA-ADD-SEZ = $1430 in C, $697.5 in Y(W) (9610 miles)
HKG-BKK-ADD-SEZ = $1256 in C, $808.5 in Y(Q) (13,480 miles)
CAN-BKK-ADD-SEZ = $1408 in C, $761.50 in Y(V) (13,500 miles)
ARN-FCO-ADD-SEZ = $1355 in C, $689.5 in Y(L) (11,046 miles)

All these are based on their 'cloud 9 special fare' which I think books into D.

So 27,000 miles with M&M and a holiday in C to SEZ for HKG based FT'ers seems to be a good deal at 4.65c/mile.

I noted this promo on their African site but can't seem to get it to price properly.

Doesn't come up on ITA.

Fares ADD-SEZ are 850 USD in Y.

Fares DXB-ADD-SEZ are 630 USD in Y without the promotion.

I didn't see any terms or conditions either explaining it, other than no USA sales.

You need to book it over the phone or at a ticket office I think hence why they won't price online or on ITA.

* fare does not apply for passengers from the US.

Which of the following does this mean?


All passengers ex-USA, or
passengers holding a US Passport, or
both of the above

What are the sample dates?

Actually the business fare ex-HKG is USD2444/HKD18978 for PAX1 and USD432/HKD3358 for PAX2.

It's a ropey ole 767 on the HKG route as far as I can see.

I just called their reservations office and the fare was confirmed as being valid ex-HKG.

B

Does anyone know what kind of fares these are wrt earning miles?

Am looking to see if I can count these towards getting star * on A3 :)

It means just that ...

Not valid for travel originating from the USA on ET.

100% on all the economy fares when crediting to A3
200% on the business fares when crediting to A3

So you and your partner would get *G from either HKG or BKK in just one flight in C.

Nice. I'm based in SIN but I think it may be worth it to fly down to bkk just to do this MR. We seldom get that chance here (not with SQ at least)

Am I right to say that we have to call them up to book? Is there a way in which I can check for availability through their website?

Looking to travel from June 8th to anywhere about June 18th (flexible dates)

What will the total cost be for two passengers in C ex bkk?

Yep Ethiopian flights are 100% Aegean Airlines Lounge Lizard Status Challengeworthy in Y, G, S, B, M, K, L, V, H, U, Q, T, W, E, and O.:D

So the promo flight fare will fall into one of the above categories? I ask this because most of the times flights on discount are of another class that usually cannot accrue miles..

ex BKK would work out at $1550 (discount included) per person. Departure on 8th and return on either 17th or 19th.

ex HKG is $1256.5 so may be worth starting their instead.

Can I ask how you managed to find the prices? Would like to explore the options between the different price/dates and wouldn't want to keep bothering you to help me check! :)

I wonder if departure ex-Canada count as a "US Departure"? I would imagine not.

This might be worth a drive up or flight up to YUL!

:D

Gave them a call and was told miles would only be awarded for the 1st ticket.

i had the worst time trying to find a number that was working (they no longer have a Singapore office) and when was quoted about $1150 per pax for economy with the discount!

i'm not even sure if the person (in the HK office) knew about the discount grahh so frustrating.

After trying in vain to contact Ethiopian for information on the two for one Seychelles deal, I wrote the following letter to the company. Wonder whether others have had similar experiences:

This morning, I saw a special two for one deal from Bangkok to the Seychelles on Ethiopian. The deal was only available through your office. What could be simpler than just calling your office in Bangkok...Right? WRONG!
After hours of trying, I couldn't get through. I then wrote an email to your Bangkok office to ask them to call me. No one called. Once when I called, I was told in a recording to contact your international 24 hour service center. A long 800 number was rattled off faster than anyone could write down. However, I noticed on your site was such a 1800 number, so I tried to call it. I was greeted by a message that the number had been changed. However NO NEW NUMBER was given. I called up Bangkok AFTER business hours, and managed to write down the number given in the recording, after calling three times! I called the new 1800 number, but could not get through after many times.
IS THIS HOW ETHIOPIAN RUNS ITS AIRLINE? DO YOU CARE SO LITTLE FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS? I now harbor serious doubts about the competence of your staff and admnistration. Please call me tomorrow during Bangkok office hours, at +66 xxxxxxxxx.

Please call me tomorrow during Bangkok office hours, at +66 xxxxxxxxx. [/I]

Good luck getting someone from ET's Bangkok office to give you a call tomorrow or on Monday for that matter. Both are public holidays here.

Why wouldn't you call ET's office @ ADD using Skype? That's what I did last year after purchasing a business class ticket from them, and when I had to made some changes.

I tried the Norwegian number but got no answer, called the Swedish office and got through fairly quickly.

so i'm assuming that no one has managed to successfully take advantage of that offer yet? lol

i really want to get *gold with just this one trip!

Just as a matter of information, Thai and many airlines work on Thai public holidays, such as Chakri Day (tomorrow). Just got a cc from Ethiopian HQ to the BKK office asking them to explain themselves.

well do let us know if you manage to obtain some useful information to advance this thread :)

OK, so I am currently stuck in SEZ waiting for the incoming flight from ADD. ETD from ADD+5 and no information.

So, not great.

Will update if any interesting info re ET's IRROPs handling.

Which of the following does this mean?


All passengers ex-USA, or
passengers holding a US Passport, or
both of the above


It looks like they're still feeling burnt from when they accedentially entered a buy one get one promotion ex-IAD in 2008 as get one free get one free. I am guessing they just mean flights departing the US.


Gave them a call and was told miles would only be awarded for the 1st ticket.

For what its worth, they also said this in the 2008 promo but both were credited to LH as Y. :) Granted the boarding pass was hand-written in IAD, so who knows.

Am I the only one finding it impossible to get through to any of their Bangkok numbers?

i booked it from the NY office its open 24hrs bought 8 tickets.^ PARTY time. I booked the 787 :) sweet!

The service on ET is dreadful, the ADD transfer experience is dreadful, the inflight meals are dreadful, the Cloud 9 lounge @ ADD is dreadful, the inflight entertainment system has hardly any content etc.

You get what you pay for.

Hmm i'm not sure if that sounds like a good deal to me, especially since the 2nd person on the free ticket does not get to accrue any miles..

Might not use it for A3 *G after all..

Who said they do not accrue miles>? the agent in NY confirmed that both ticket accrue miles.
all the tickets we have got show both tickets as D class, so they should accrue miles.

What number did you call? The website only lists a reservations office in Washington DC..

sorry just got back online...

the # is on ET web site is the number i called in NY
Toll Free 1 800 445 2733
24 hours all year round

Gave them a call and was told miles would only be awarded for the 1st ticket.

I'm confused now - what's the policy on miles accrual? wouldn't want to buy and realise that only one of us can get the actual miles!

On the buy one-get two free a few years ago, both tickets were booked in O and did earn miles...

I'm confused now - what's the policy on miles accrual? wouldn't want to buy and realise that only one of us can get the actual miles!

if you dont want to take any risks about mileage accrual, then the deals are not for u.

call ET and ASK........ they told me both people get miles.^

For those booking this from Asia, up until the end of April, the CAN-ADD flights are on the 77L and go non-stop. Also now the PEK-ADD flights are on the 77L and go to 7 days a week starting June 15th. Unfortunately it looks like HKG keeps the 763 for the foreseeable future. They also service HGH with a stop in DEL if you're in the Shanghai area.

CAN-ADD is showing 787 from september on.

CAN-ADD is showing 787 from september on.

Even better! Just a short 1 1/2 hour or so train ride from HKG + Visa (unless you're from one of the lucky few countries not requiring one)

Strangely the flight departs 2 1/2 hours earlier from CAN than the current 77L flight but arrives in ADD only 1 hour 15 mins earlier. Is the 787 that much slower?

Could anyone who bought clarify if the second passenger pays only taxes or taxes + fuel surcharge? That's quite a difference.

I wonder if departure ex-Canada count as a "US Departure"? I would imagine not.

This might be worth a drive up or flight up to YUL!

:D

But Ethiopian doesn't fly to or from Canada....

Just got off the phone with the ET New York Office, thank you "WhyFly" for posting the number.

The agent confirmed the deal works from CAN on the 787, but I requested a March departure. The agent told me that the deal is only valid for bookings up to January 13th. This would appear to be new information so I thought I'd share it.

has to finished the trip by Jan 13? do the fare allow a free-stopover at ADD?

Just got a reply from the HKG office regarding this promotion. A few things to note:

- ticket has to be issued in person at their office;
- price shown online comes with a 5% discount, i.e., we need to pay 5% more when buying in person at their office;
- sales period is till May 31;
- all taxes and surcharges should be collected for the free ticket. I believe that means YQ needs to be collected.

I'm about to pull the trigger... Thanks OP.

Just received an email from the HKG office as well:

Dear Sir

We have schedule flight from HONG KONG to SEYCHELLES on 9 Jun, 11Jun and seat available on both fights. Please kindly see the below fare.
For your information, the companion ticket are not entitle for earn miles. Thanks.

Economy class for 2months
Fare HKD6150 + Tax/fuels HKD 3554 = HKD9704 per ticket/person
Companion Fare : HKD40 + Tax/fuels HKD3554 = HKD3594 per ticket/person

Business class for 1month
Fare HKD13470 + tax/fuels HKD3554= HKD17024 per ticket/person
Companion Fare: HKD40 + tax/fuels HKD3554=HKD3594 per ticket/person

All fares and restrictions are subject to change without notice.


I guess that pretty much answers all the questions:

1. Tax + Fuel Charges must be paid for the companion ticket
2. no miles accrual for the companion ticket :(

The agent told me that the deal is only valid for bookings up to January 13th.

JAN13 as in 13 Jan 2013...or just more generally as Jan 2013?

How do you get a Prize of 1430 USD for FRA ADD SEZ.? I only get 2380 USD as cheapest C Class Fare?
Could you help to find the 1430 USD C Class Prize? The FArecode would be enough.

Thx

I think that the $1430 is per person, which is one full fare C ticket for the first passenger + the taxes and fees for the second person. Add those to arrive at the total of ~$2900 for 2 people.

Just received an email from the HKG office as well:

UGH?? Again i just called the NY ticket office and again they confirmed the second ticket will earn mileage. I even double checked with supervisor he gave me his name and said do not worry both tickets will get mileage as long as we have mileage accounts posted..
also since both tickets were issued as D i dont see how they wont earn miles.

JAN13 as in 13 Jan 2013...or just more generally as Jan 2013?

Had a fried call ET back and another agent disputed what the first agent had told me. The deal DOES NOT end in January 2013, and there is no current end point for the promotion. She said the first agent must have had difficulty booking March 2013 as those dates are not open in the booking system as of yet. Second agent suggested calling back at the beginning of May. Hope the fare is still around then.

Had to Google map Seychelles to help with location. Could be interesting.
PEK-ADD-SEZ would get me what I need for A3 Gold, but repositioning from Japan makes the cost a bit much.

Too bad no ex-Japan or even ex-Korea.

No ex-Japan, but ET does have fares ex-Korea. I played around with a lot of them, can route via PEK, HGH, HKG, CAN, BKK on various carriers depending on your alliance affiliation. I didn't see rules for this promo, so not sure if it has to be 100% on ET metal or not, but you should check about Korea, lots cheaper to get to ICN/GMP than the other jumping on points from NRT/HND/KIX

The fare must be booked/paid for at one of their (ET) offices. Apparently ET does not have an office in Korea, rather just a cargo GSA. How would you suggest booking tickets to SEZ departing from ICN or GMP?

Looked at this via HKG. Would be quite brutal for a long weekend I have to say!

Price is good, but how good is the actual service and quality of the planes? Also would have to spend quite a bit of time in ADD. How's the lounge and services there?

It's a 763 ex HKG, so older style biz seats on those. Some are modernized cabin, some are not. Better to take the train to Guangzhou depending on when you're going. Ex-CAN until the end of April or starting again in September will be much better, currently 77L, goes to 763 from May-September then 787 in September.

Read through the entire thread, but a little confused. Can someone please clarify if this fare is for oneway or return?

Return.

Price is for return and both passengers pay the fares in the OP.

Sooo, tempted by this offer for a side trip from DXB that I am trying to put together, I called up ET, (New York Office) to get a quote.

Spent the next 40 minutes on hold waiting for an agent.

Confirmed that there is the promotion on and that the ticket office was aware about it.

Did confirm that sadly for my case, NO STOPOVERS PERMITTED.

Economy Promotion Fare (for 2):
DXB-ADD-SEZ - 3,600 AED ($980 USD or $490 USD each)

Regular Fare (2)- also subject to a promotion but not 2 for 1:
DXB-ADD-SEZ - 4,300 AED ($1,170 USD or 585 USD each)

Business Promotion fare
DXB-ADD-SEZ - 6,600 AED (1,800 USD or $900 USD each)

Regular Fare (2) "Cloud 9 Special"
DXB-ADD-SEZ - 10,700 AED (2,900 USD or 1,450 USD each)

When I asked if these fares qualified for mileage, I was told:

Ticket Agent: "Ahh, these are not available for reward..."

I answered: "No, I wanted to know what fare class do these book into? Are these flights eligible for Frequent Flyer points??"

Ticket Agent: "Ahh, they have not told us that information..." :rolleyes:

Buyer beware!! Might not be the best for a mileage run.

787 would be sweet, but are they sure that they will get a 787 by Sept, or will it get delayed again?

Even if there is no delay, I don't find their business class product impressive by looking at the pictures. http://www.ethiopianairlines.com/en/docs/B787/index.html

The dropdown list didn't show any ex-Korea, and none ex-Japan, so to joy here. On the other hand, we will be in SE Asia/OZ for an extended period, and without an expiration this might still get done.

Even if there is no delay, I don't find their business class product impressive by looking at the pictures. http://www.ethiopianairlines.com/en/docs/B787/index.html

lets hope they launch a new business class seat. ^

Hm, bummer on the no US departures thing :( It doesn't seem to be worth the price of positioning, either.

lets hope they launch a new business class seat. ^

That is the new seat!!!
Mostly they fly 767/757 with seats similiar to US domestic F and no personal IFE.

Also, anyone taking advantage of this fare should be aware that the transit in ADD means you need a yellow fever cert to enter SEZ.....even if you do not leave the airport.

they have a newer seat on the 777 and I have booked the 787 on the CAN route.:D

Just booked CAN-ADD-SEZ-ADD-CAN. March 12-15 on the 787. $2880 for two in business class all in. Agent confirmed full miles for both passengers.

Quick update:
Yesterday I contacted the ET's office in Madrid, Brussels and Frankfurt and received contradictory information about untill when this promo is valid: either June 30th ot July 20th.
I made a reservation for 2 pax BRU-ADD-SEZ in September (for ~$1400). Etkt must be issued before July 6th.

Is there a way to get this to work out of BKK?

Contact their offices in Thailand:

If by any reason you get no reply, try the Hong Kong offices, as someone stated before in this thread that he/she had already tickets issued by them.

Good Luck!

Thanks! Will try now

Crap should have read pages 2-4 as well.

Seems cheaper to ticket out of HKG


Seems the fares out of DXB are the cheapest?

After 3 tries today finally I got someone that seemed to know what i was talkign about.. but they told me it closed on May 31st from every city (including Washington??) and was now only available from DXB.

I may try again later on...
