ETIHAD - AA Partner

Now have my hotels either side of my EY flights confirmed, so called to book the 'sedans'. Dead easy; done in a few minutes. Immediately got confirmation e-mails for all lifts and, perhaps even better I got a separate e-mail confirmation of my EY flights (AA miles) with all details listed and all confirmed...

Hi RooFlyer, can I ask what the Chauffeur booking confirmation emails looked like (roughly)? I "think" I booked cars for my trip at Christmas time but the confirmation emails were just copies of my flight itinerary with a line in small print which reads "Chauffeur service booked for <My Name>".

Cheers.
 
Exactly like this. The e-mail was quite specific to the car service, and provided pick up and drop off details (albeit a little cryptic due to shorthand coding).

Thanks, appreciate the effort to put that up. I definitely didn't get something like that so I may give them a call to confirm.
 
My booking on EY18 next year changed from B777 to A380.
I actually prefer that flight than EY12 as it allows same day connections into LHR.
 
OK I'm excited.

With the change from a 777 to an A380 on MEL - AUH I decided to try my luck with an AA redemption. Picked up an F seat from MEL - AUH (stopover for 3 days) LON - PRAGUE. Then home CDG-LON-AUH-MEL. 200000 points and $350ish on taxes.

Thanks and thanks :). Yes, I was too fast on the keyboard. EY's phone numbers here in Canada say the nearest (Toronto) numbers close at 5pm (so I didn't call), but of course it bounced to a 24hr centre in London when I did call, and they confirmed that I was eligible for the limo AUH to Dubai :mrgreen: . Also on the Sydney end, which I wasn't even contemplating!

ps the guy confirmed that yes, the web site will reject a limo booking, as the ticket is an AA one, but calling in will fix it.

This may have been fixed. I clicked on the reserve chauffeur tab on the home page, enter my booking ref and it allowed me to book my cars. If i tried doing it through among my booking instead of using the reserve chauffeur tab i got the payment error message. have received confirmation email from Etihad to confirm the bookings. :)
 
Have a couple of noob'ish questions, where I currently have a LCA-xLHR-DXB-SYD F award. Now, I see flights LCA-xAUH-MEL with EY.

Is it possible to tag on a QF MEL-SYD flight on the EY booking? If not, thats cool.

If its possible to tag on the MEL-SYD flight, would I be able to "change" the booking for no fee as the origin&destination are the same?

Yes and yes
 
Happy story for those chasing apartments.

I read about Etihad extending it A380 network to MEL starting mid next year, just before my trip to London (ex-SYD) which includes EY F SYD-AUH in the 77W because it's all I could get and then on to LHR in the A380 apartments.

I was shattered about having to "slum it" in EY's First Suites, but hey - availability to AUH was pretty much non-existent. So when I heard about MEL I checked out availability on that route and VOILA! Wide open! So I called up AA and changed my routing to SYD-MEL in QF and MEL-AUH in the apartment for the low-low additional cost of $8 in taxes. Not even a change fee (which could be because I'm AA Plat).

So if you're chasing those apartments, look no further then MEL. But I'd hurry, if the availability to SYD is anything to go by.
 
I believe the change fee waiver had something to do with your AA plat status.
I tried to change AUH-MEL-BNE on B777 to AUH-BNE direct on B787 and was told must pay $US150 change fee.

Yeah that's why I mentioned it. Regardless, the purpose of my post was to point out that MEL-AUH is still wide open on the A380.

I wouldn't say wide open now. The 380 to MEL was announced a few weeks back and that was wide open.

I had my choice from each of ten consecutive days in July next year. I'd call that wide open. Particularly compared to SYD-AUH. Where they literally have pulled all availability +60 days.

Didn't expect negativity in response to this lol, but anyway. Good luck to all - I'm psyched about it!
