          Thank you ozb for doing the right thing with a tonedeaf brag.

        • easternculture on 03/12/2024 - 14:08

          Yeah, i heard the captain complaing about this douche bag that wants to book a whole A380 as a publicity stunt for tiktok.

        • navshaf on 03/12/2024 - 14:12

          I thinkin of hiring 2 jumbos one towing the another just in case one breaks down and use the other one for my return flight

      • lilkid28 on 03/12/2024 - 14:07

        I book in J, then use points or do a cheap cash upgrade at airport to First/Residence.

        I usually book the entire plane for myself and my 80 falcons.

      • easternculture on 03/12/2024 - 12:48

        Exactly what i thought when i read the comment. Private residence or GTFO

        • vongole83 on 03/12/2024 - 14:18

          I normally book out the entire plane just to stop the common man from travelling, then jump on my private jet.

          Glad to know I can do it for 13% less today!

          • easternculture on 03/12/2024 - 14:48

            @vongole83: I just rent the whole runway for 48hrs and put road blocks eveywhere. Its cheaper and can block multiple flights including your private jet.
            Offcourse happy to let you pass if you pay the runway departure tax. Just ask for Moe and bring cash.

    • Duckie2hh on 03/12/2024 - 13:56

      Nice flex

    • alphaoasis on 03/12/2024 - 15:42

      You won’t need cashback for business class.

    I've had this issue with other booking services before like booking.com that when we click to cash back services, it increases the price.
    So do your due dilligence before buying.

  • mrhugo on 03/12/2024 - 11:54

    Just letting you know I've NEVER been successful getting CR to track Etihad pre and post COVID. The cash back was only 1% or something like that, but they were about 20K tickets so it was worth something. Usual things of disabling extensions, screen shots etc, even after lodging a missing tracking it's never approved.

    I haven't tried in the last two years as I've booking via Aunt Betty mainly for the much cheaper prices compared to direct and usually with a better fare class. Those tracked.

    • richardhead on 03/12/2024 - 12:21

      How is your experience with aunt betty? Im usually scared of booking via 3rd parties incase my flight gets changed or something comes up

      • LeonardoTenInchy on 03/12/2024 - 12:33

        They're fine as long as you don't have need to cancel or make any changes. If you do then you'll be in for a long and bumpy ride dealing with their customer service plus not only airline change / cancel fees but Aunt Betty's own fees.

        • mrhugo on 03/12/2024 - 14:59
          +1

          This 100%

          I'd rather save a couple of thousand on my tickets (and get a better fare class in some cases) and forego customer service and changes. I've read the T&C and even booking direct incurs fees etc. when making changes (unless flex fares which we never book), but with Aunt Betty (AB) those fees also include an additional admin fee per ticket (not booking), so changes can get pricey quickly.

          The way I look at it, if I need to make a change, something unexpected has happened and I've got bigger things on my mind then admin fees. But since I paid a few grand less, one change (if required) may only leave me slightly worse off, in theory, never tried.

          That being said I've had positives. During COVID Etihad via AB cancelled our tickets, for a voucher. Much later on the ACCC pushed airlines to give refunds. I raised this with AB (with some strongly worded email) who argued my case with Etihad. Got the cash back (in dribs and drabs), about 18K. The only thing I didn't get back was the CC fee of $100 or something like that.

          If you go down this path, the savings have to be worth it, and more importantly the company has to be registered in Australia with an ATAS number. This is important for consumer protections. AB is a part of Flight Centre, so I don’t have any concerns about their ability to do business.

          Downside. I booked with SIN this year via AB. I got two emails from SIN about flight times changing and my tickets going into a holding status. AB thought that my transfer between T1 and T3 was under the min transfer window and wanted to rebook me (with zero cost). The alternatives were all stupid times and days. After months of back and forth I called SIN directly who said "there is no issue with those times, the plane will wait for you, tell AB to accept the ticket on their end". So, I called AB explained this and boom! they accepted the new times (30min transfer BTW) and our tickets were confirmed.

          FYI, @ SIN as soon as we arrived from Europe to SIN there was staff there with signs, SYD, express transfer! They drove us to the Skytrain, and we walked (read ran) to our gate. The plane was waiting for us…. some of our luggage never made it, arrived next flight.

          In other words, AB customer service can sometimes be misinformed. I'd still go with them again and again, for the few thousand saving (in some cases) and the CR ;-). If the price difference was at parity I’d go direct, obviously.

          • richardhead on 03/12/2024 - 22:46

            @mrhugo: Thanks! Ive always seen its cheaper on google flights with them

  • Kyriasa on 03/12/2024 - 12:09

    Disappointed to see that luggage isn't included on their basic fare.

    • Bytelover on 03/12/2024 - 13:17

      Was only $9 to upgrade to value which includes 25kg, on my flight anyway

      • Kyriasa on 03/12/2024 - 20:11

        Wow, mine seems broken as I can only do economy basic + extra baggage. Adding extra 25kgs baggage to 3 multi city flights is $1.5k in addition of the flight fare

        • yessum on 03/12/2024 - 20:34

          They're not referring to adding baggage, it's choosing the economy value ticket instead of economy basic. Should come up when you select the flight

    Using Google flight $2300 same days, same flight. What a scam.

      Google flights booking with Etihad direct?

  • Bramasaurus on 03/12/2024 - 20:41

    Great deal, thanks for sharing $160 cash back pending.

  • donotuse on 03/12/2024 - 21:43
    • I found ZERO difference in price between Google Flights (incognito) and through CR for same dates, same flights, same travel classes and add-ons, same direct booking (no agent)
    • Cashback tracked (appears in my CR account) less than 10 minutes after booking confirmation

    $240 CB pending — fingers crossed!!!
