+1 based on my recent experience with them..
I read from the net that there were few sectors were Etihad does not charge YQ and in these scenarios, you can speak to them and contest.. but this is few and far between..
Heck, most of the times its tough to even get availability thru Jet as their response times are terrible..

couldn't agree more. I never bother with Partner redemptions on 9W because response time means that if there was an award seat - its gone. I think they make it this way so that you will never burn on partners, only earn...

i tried a partner redemption earlier this year....sent in the request around the 20th of jan....i got a reply from them a week later informing me that they had booked the flight but it was waitlisted....my flight was on the 12th of feb....i replied back to them asking them to let me know what the miles requirement & tax amount would be but i never heard back so i went ahead & booked directly with the partner airline....they finally got back to me on the 19th of feb (a week after my flight) with only the number of miles required but no tax amount....talk about incompetence....
