Well Retro Claims emailed me back on Friday saying the guest miles were to be credited shortly. Still nothing. This is not good enough. Just booked Zurich with BA and Shanghai with Cathay, and Black listed EY in our HR dept.

Just writing an email to the DED Consumer Rights contact address regarding the miss-selling of Select Upgrades by Etihad.

Dear Dubh,

Thank you for contact us. Kindly note that our Etihad Guest team is working on it and they will email you once miles are credited.

Kindly note that retro claims for other airlines may take some time for the team to process.

Thank you for your patience again. *JS

Hi Loalq,

We are unable to confirm in advance from our end. This depends on the headphones plug and you will need to check it on board.

Thank you. *JS

will my luggage be checked though my final destination in US

Long time EK flyer, flying EY for the first time in business.

I am flying AMD-AUH-LAX-DEN. will my luggage be directly checked in through DEN or will I have to collect bags in LAX ?

On my way back, I am flying DEN-ORD-AUH-AMD. Will I have to collect my luggage in ORD?

I have 10.5 hour layover in AUH. Will I be eligible for STPC?

Thanks in advance!

American airlines shows plenty of seats on the flight I'd like to book for AAdvantage members, but of course availability is different when redeeming through Etihad.

, I've sent you a PM with some details: AA agents are unable to assist with bookings that show available on your site.

I provided a phone number and all relevant details. If your reservation department and theirs cam talk to get my flight corrected, that would be amazing.

Thanks in advance.

Just resent it EtihadHelp,

Can you verify?


EDIT:

I've just checked the website and verified, as expected, that the availability for the flight in question DOES exist, but AA can not see it.

Quoted post is from 17 Mar. I am still waiting.

Actually, of course, I am not waiting; EtihadHelp has already confirmed that EY is intentionally preventing award passengers from choosing connecting flights:

It's shameful and unethical behavior on EY's part.

I completed flights in Jan from syd-auh-dub,registered for the silver challenge and have emailed etihad guest several times with no joy!
Traveling tomorrow from London and wanted to use the lounge but no silver card yet and very disappointed.
Usual email saying someone is looking at it! Please stop looking and do something! It shouldn't take 2 months to process this!

Dear eiflyer,

Sorry for the late response.

You can print your Etihad Guest Card from the Mobile App and present it to the airport team.

Please also let us know your Etihad Guest number by DM so we can follow it up for you.

Thank you. *JS

Hi Etihad Help, I was trying to use my Etihad guest miles for a partner redemption on Bangkok Airlines. On calling your call center they are unable to see any availability from Apr to August and have quoted 'X' class as the redemption class. As per my understanding from reading on other forums, Bangkok Airways award inventory is 'Ý' and there is ample availability in 'Y'. Could you please help to reconfirm if 'X'class is indeed the partner redemption class for PG.

Thanks

Hi Wildboar, kindly note the the booking class for economy on PG is "X" for redemption booking. Please call our call center later close to your departure date so that they check the availability again for you. *ES
