    [Price Error] Melbourne to Azerbaijan $360 Return on Virgin/Etihad

    I assume we would be entitled to the credit as that was what FC offered me so it must be offered to anyone with an Etihad flight. Here are the details of the offer so it isn't much for us https://www.etihad.com/en/manage/request-a-refund/credit-plus-miles/non-eyg-member-enrol I can't see how...

    [Price Error] Melbourne to Azerbaijan $360 Return on Virgin/Etihad

    I contacted Flight Centre to request that the flight dates be moved to similar dates next year. Below is the response I received. Looks like there is no chance of being able to move it to next year without paying the fare difference which would totally kill the deal. Think the only way I am...

    [Price Error] Melbourne to Azerbaijan $360 Return on Virgin/Etihad

    Just received an email from Etihad titled "Your Etihad Airways flight has been changed". Luckily it was only related to one of the legs leaving 5 mins earlier. Almost had a heart attack opening that email.

    [Price Error] Melbourne to Azerbaijan $360 Return on Virgin/Etihad

    Do you know how long it took the airline to cancel the flights in this case? Definitely is a bit of a catch 22 situation so think best bet will be to book the fully refundable flights / hotels to surrounding countries and hope for the best. I agree that the taxes argument would not work...

    [Price Error] Melbourne to Azerbaijan $360 Return on Virgin/Etihad

    Thanks MEL_Traveller for the explanation. It makes sense but not sure I have the guts to do that. Think I would rather keep my head down and hope nothing happens. If it does, I can try to argue that I didn't call them as I assumed it was a normal fare that I found on Skyscanner. All the taxes on...

    [Price Error] Melbourne to Azerbaijan $360 Return on Virgin/Etihad

    You are obviously very experienced with flying and ticketing so I believe you know what you are talking about. Trying to understand your rationale behind calling the airline directly to get confirmation they will accept the tickets. I would assume a call centre employee would not know what the...

    [Price Error] Melbourne to Azerbaijan $360 Return on Virgin/Etihad

    I booked through Flight Centre as well. I think the reason why the BYOJet bookings were cancelled was due to them never being fully confirmed with an eticket issued. From what I have read so far, they are the only company to have cancelled the flight while the rest of us have our tickets issued...

    [Price Error] Melbourne to Azerbaijan $360 Return on Virgin/Etihad

    I was lucky enough to get this deal. First time I have been lucky enough to find a flight at this price. Eticket is showing in Tripcase and status of Ok to fly. How long has it taken the airline to cancel the flight in the past for fares like this? Would a month be long enough to wait before...
