What would be the difference ?

I'm thinking of taking a flight to Dublin at the end of Sept 13 with Etihad direct but I also see they are code sharing with Air Lingus ( Etihad metal ) the only difference I can see at the moment is the code share dosent use the 777w , it uses the airbus . This is not a problem to my as I'm sitting up the front and there is a lengthy stop at Abu Dabi BUT the code share is $1000 cheaper ! Hhhmmmm! I'm surmising I would be able to access all of the Erihad privileges seeking as it is Etihad metal.

Members thoughts and or experience on trying to save the money! Thanks

Alway a gamble assuming privileges on codeshares will apply. Anyway what privileges ? What freq flyers program ? Should be able to check online. Read the small print & the *'s carefully
