Rumor: Etihad May drop AA and partner with UA
i saw this article earlier this morning and I thought I’d share it https://onemileatatime.com/etihad-united-partnership/ If this is true I think it’s another big devaluation of AAdvantage. |
Disappointing to hear of this. Although, the source is a blog post, not an article.

That's most applicable when he's quoting me.

There were a lot of rumors about QR leaving OW. So far no sign of it. YMMV

And when airlines change programs do existing redemptions (esp like a First Apartment) remain valid? |

Was he, this time? I don't see a "H/T" but Ben isn't always consistent in crediting others.

I hope he is wrong on this. It would suck if UA gets Ethiad. But if he is right it’s very bad news |
UA would probably block redemptions which would mean nobody can access The Apartment at all.

If this rumor is true, does anyone know what would happen to an existing Award ticket booked on Etihad via AA miles? (ie, something booked say, 330 or whatever days in advance)?
Assuming (dangerously-LOL) that similar situations have happened in the past with other airlines. |

Assuming (dangerously-LOL) that similar situations have happened in the past with other airlines. Dont expect to be able to make any changes, post the final decision not to have Etihad as a partner. And if there is an IRROP - assume you are stuck - the only thing that AA will do is refund your miles. Dont expect them to find you an alternate solution, if no award availability exists on other partner carriers. |
Glad I already made a booking for an apartment, hope it sticks!
