Etihad introduces new ‘Fare Choices’

02 Sep 2015
Comments | 0

ETIHAD Airways will

implement a new

fare structure from

September 14 to “provide

more choice and clarity

when booking flights”.

All bookings ticketed from

September 14 will be split

into distinct fare choices.

The structure for economy

class includes Economy

Breaking Deals, Economy

Saver, Economy Value

and Economy Freedom.

Business class includes

Business Breaking Deals,

Business Saver and

Business Freedom, while

in first class there will only

be one fare – Freedom.

“A total of eight new ‘Fare

Choices’ will be introduced,

allowing travellers to tailor

their bookings to their

individual needs. The ‘Fare

Choices’ are transparent

and differ in baggage

allowance, flexibility and

included benefits that

otherwise need to be

purchased separately,”

says Peter Baumgartner,

chief commercial officer of

Etihad Airways. “Ultimately,

this is about providing

choice. When it comes

to booking a flight, not

everyone’s needs are the

same. Some guests want

to travel light and on a

budget, while others want

to be able to make lastminute

travel decisions,

carry extra baggage or

earn more miles.”

Additionally, an adapted

baggage policy will provide

guests with a more

standardised baggage

allowance structure

across the Etihad Airways

partner network, while

also reducing the price for

excess baggage charges

on most routes. The cost

of excess baggage will be

cut on the majority

of fares. On some routes

the cost of buying an

additional 23kg piece of

baggage will be reduced by

up to 90%, with a further

reduction of up to 30% if

pre-purchased directly with

Etihad Airways up to 24

hours before travel.
