If you have a travel agent booking you can still select the seats through us by call our Contact Centre or contacting us here or on our social media channels. *Marc
What about for the preferred seats? Not extra legroom or emergency, like the first 7-8 rows on an A380? Do Golds have to pay for them?

Your second point is completely incorrect as I checked in online for my travel agent booking last Friday. I have two travel agent booking currently, one in Business and one in Economy, both booked through the same travel agent. On the Business ticket, I can pre - select my seats online, on the economy it tells me I can't because it is a travel agent booking. Can you explain?

Is this true right up to departure or are they made available (either to status Guest members or first come, first served or any other selection criteria) prior to this, eg at online or airport check in?

the whole EtihadGuest is getting a farce.

@EtihadHelp: Are you aware that you have 2 different versions of T&C on your homepage?

Even after pointing you to the differences on your website your team is not able to change it everywhere.
Before you ask again where to find the mistakes, please see this screenshot (from today):





BTW: I finally doubt that after all the changes and corrections on your website it still shows all original intended information.
I guess it always got just adjusted but finally the intended information got changed so many times that it now shows wrong information - but at least more/less same information through your website... But who may know this...

PS: @EtihadHelp:
how long do you expect guests to wait for a miles credit?
I am waiting for NINE flights to credit for more than 3 month now! and all I am getting are robotic replies that it may "take some time" and you would be happy to welcoming me onboard again.

PPS: I am flying Etihad since 2008 and for the last 1-2 years your "dedicated team" is doing everything possible to get me flying more and more other airlines!

Hey @Etihad,

How does the chauffer service work for a family of 3 (2 adults 1 child) flying from Abu Dhabi in business class?
Because right now i'm having an issue adding the child to the booking of the chauffeur car.

Thanks.

If I buy miles on the Etihad website, how long until I can use them?

Dear Guest, the guest miles is valid 2 years from date of activity. Etihad Guest Miles will continue to expire on the last date of the month in which they were earned. Members can keep a track of the expiry schedule via the latest transactions page as well as our monthly e-statements. Thank you. *Zozo

Hi Danial, the chauffeur booking is eligible for adult guest only, your child will receive the same service once the booking is successful. Please let us know if you need any assistance with the chauffeur booking. Thank you. *Zozo

Hi there, can you please send us your Etihad Guest Number and all booking references of the flights that have not been credited? We will forward it to our Etihad Guest Team to credit the miles as soon as possible. Please send us a direct message. Thank you. *Marc

Sorry that we have missed your post. In case the seats are not fully booked, they would be assigned to guests if there is a justified reason for it. You may want to ask our check in staff if the seats are available i.e. not fully booked and ask them if they can assign them for you at the airport. *Marc

My family and I are waiting for more than a dozen flights to be correctly credited or/and entirely credited to our accounts. I am sick and tired to following up every week and get the same answer. Speaking to an EY representative over the phone I was made aware that all these adjustment need to be processed manually as there are several issues with the new system/website. Is this for real?
This inability will reflect in loosing our Guest Status but definitely in EY loosing our $60K/year business.

Hi Marc,
sure, I can provide you all details - but first, please share what else you can do beside forwarding these information to your Guest Team!
I sent dozent of e-mails to [email protected] during the last months. Will there be any advantage if you will forward again all details?

PS: meanwhile waiting for credit of a total of 11 flights (9 for me & 2 for my spouse)
