Status Credit Calculation on Etihad Flight

[AlterEgo]

Hi All,

Have a quick question. I would be flying Etihad next month from BNE to AUH. There is a stopover in SIN and we may be required to change the aircraft but the flight number is the same...

Now will I earn SCs for BNE - AUH or two separate blocks of SCs, one for BNE - SIN and then for SIN - AUH?

I understand that for domestic flights this would be treated as one leg but there is no information about the international scenario.

Posted this here since I am crediting these SC's in my Velocity account.

Can anyone help??

Cheers

AE

If one flight number i would expect it to be a single block (like Qantas)
If separate flight numbers, two blocks (which it would not be on a domestic leg)

Because SIN is a technical stop, you'll earn points and status credits based on BNE-AUH. If you'd booked it as two separate flights (which would be more expensive), each leg would credit separately.

Thanks guys for such a quick response. I will update the group once I have take this flight. Cheers.

I have done this flight, and can confirm that I was credited for it as BNE > AUH, 1 sector only.
