I would love to hear from people who have successfully booked tickets through Etihad for travel on partner airlines using guest miles.

1) Which airline did you fly and when?
2) How easy was the booking process? Did you give specific instructions to booking agent or were they able to find what you needed?
3) Were you able to look up award availability on a website/ or did award availability on the airline you were traveling on's website match the availability the Etihad call centre gave you?
4)Did the cost of the ticket in miles,match what is quoted on the Etihad website?
5)Any other useful info?!

I tried to book a domestic one way ticket on AA last summer and talked to numerous call centre agents, none if whom seemed sure of the procedure and then when one agent did seem to try could not see any availability at all for random dates as far as a year in advance!

Would love to hear other peoples ( hopefully successful) experiences!
