Hi All,
I travel to europe 2/3 times a year (mainly Y) with VA from Melbourne so on Etihad metal. Usually virgin fares have been nearly exactly matched with Etihad so I have been able to book through VA. My next trip in February is direct with Etihad however as VA was more expensive and looking at another trip in May/June VA is a $1,000!!!! more expensive, and only has flex fares available on the return yet Etihad has 3 different economy fares including a saver available.
Are Etihad releasing less seats to VA? Has anyone else noticed this disparity? It's very annoying having to do retro claims and waiting months for points and status credits.
Tks,
D
