I have an upcoming trip with Etihad traveling GVA-AUH-XMB and then XMB-AUH-GVA in economy class. When I first arranged my ticket I was scheduled to meet with clients and overnight in Dubai. Since that time we have moved our meeting to Abu Dhabi and I am hoping to stay local and avoid Dubai altogether.

Does anyone know how stringent EY is if I simply blow off the bus portion of the itinerary? I can change my ticket with a 150 euro fee, but I'd rather not have any additional expense if it's not tracked the same way flight coupons/flights and boarding are.

Thanks for any information.
