Using miles to pay for excess baggage
Is there any way to find out how many miles it will cost for an extra bag? The website has a form to fill out but requires a ticket number, which I don't have yet. I was wondering how many miles it would cost for an extra bag from JFK-AUH-LCA. The fees for paid excess baggage are available online but no info on the miles needed (at least that can find). Also, would the miles/fees be per segment or for the entire journey (I have a long layover in AUH, but am taking the first available flight to LCA after arriving in AUH). I am a Silver Etihad Guest and I will be flying paid business class.
