Etihad launches a 2-4-1 sale across all classes

Links on Head for Points may pay us an affiliate commission. A list of partners is here.

Etihad is running a 2-4-1 sale at the moment which continues until tomorrow night.

You can travel until 30th November.

Deals are available in all classes and include (per person, based on two travelling in Business Class):

Abu Dhabi £1,506
Bangkok £1,533
Singapore £1,765
Hong Kong £1,737
Phuket £1,734
Seychelles £2,111

Availability seems OK. Even over October half-term (out 25/10, back 3/11) I could find Abu Dhabi at £1,572. Remember that you need to search for 2+ passengers and that the price shown by the Etihad website is for all of you, not per person. I was confused by that at first ….

My review of the impressive Business Studio seat on the A380, which is what you will get flying from Heathrow, is here and is pictured above. There is also a dedicated page on their website here which explains it in more detail.

Your best option to maximise your miles when paying is American Express Preferred Rewards Gold. This offers double points – 2 per £1 – when you when you book flight tickets directly with an airline. Our review of Amex Gold is here.

The Etihad UK offers page is here.

How to earn Etihad Guest miles from UK credit cards (December 2021)

Etihad Guest does not have a UK credit card. However, you can earn Etihad Guest miles by converting Membership Rewards points earned from selected UK American Express cards. These are:

American Express Preferred Rewards Gold (review here, apply here) – sign-up bonus of 20,000 Membership Rewards points converts into 20,000 Etihad Guest miles. This card is FREE for your first year and also comes with two free airport lounge passes.

The Platinum Card from American Express (review here, apply here) – sign-up bonus of 30,000 Membership Rewards points converts into 30,000 Etihad Guest miles.

American Express Rewards credit card (review here, apply here) – sign-up bonus of 5,000 Membership Rewards points converts into 5,000 Etihad Guest miles. This card is FREE for life.

Membership Rewards points convert at 1:1 into Etihad Guest miles which is an attractive rate. The cards above all earn 1 Membership Rewards point per £1 spent on your card, which converts to 1 Etihad Guest mile. The Gold card earns double points (2 per £1) on all flights you charge to it.

Etihad Guest is also a partner with the HSBC Premier Mastercard (0.5 miles per £1 spent) and HSBC Premier World Elite Mastercard (1 mile per £1 spent).

£15/1600 each for LHR-BKK is NOT 2-4-1 unless you think Etihad somehow charges an average of £3000+ for a seat, which it does not.

“Normal” prices have risen but are around £1800 as there is a permanent Amex card discount of up to 10%.

OT: IHG buying ‘Six Senses’ hotels and resorts, which I’d never heard of, but that’s probably because I’m not the target audience. 🙂

https://www.ihgplc.com/news-and-media/news-releases/2019/ihg-further-expands-luxury-footprint-with-acquisition-of-six-senses-hotels-resorts-spas

They seem to be serious about building up their luxury footprint.

  The Portugal property is the best resort in Europe.

    I’d have thought this was bigger news than the Regent acquisition.
    - Rob says:
      
      13 Feb13 February 16:31
      
      It is. However Six Senses has always been very niche and so most people haven’t heard of them.

OT-ish: I have booked Etihad to Colombo in business later this year. Any advice on where to best to credit the miles? I am usually a BA/One world customer, but flexible if I can put the miles in a FF programme for UK-EU flights. Also planning a trip to South Africa next year so if I can use the miles for intra-RSA flights that is even better. Grateful for any advice/tips.
- Rob says:

  For an easy life, credit to Etihad and then cash them out, for cash, via PointsPay. About 0.6p per mile.

OT – has everyone received their Virgin Life Insurance Flying Club miles yet? We have on one account but not another.
- Mr(s) Entitled says:
  
  13 Feb13 February 09:15
  
  Yup. They where credited a while back (turn of the year?) but back dated to June 2018.
- Prune says:
  
  13 Feb13 February 09:22
  
  received into both accounts around 3 weeks ago
- Shoestring says:

  All good for us. Have you actually checked that on the ‘missing points’ a/c they have actually taken 6 or 7 months’ subs? They didn’t start taking some subs until Sept (promo started in June)
  - Graeme says:
    
    13 Feb13 February 11:22
    
    Nope, didn’t think of that – will do, thank you.

OT. I was wondering what happened to the HFP writer Job Rob was hiring for back in Nov. I looked on the about & contact page but couldn’t see any mention of anyone other that Rob and Anika. I’m sure I must have missed something but could find any posts using the search either…Just curious.
- Rob says:
  
  13 Feb13 February 10:00
  
  Still progressing.
  - Joeb says:

    Thanks for the reply Rob. Hope it’s going well.

Related to Helsinki lounges.

If flying BA can I use the Finnair lounge as a silver? The oneworld website seems to suggest that it’s just for Finnair and JAL passengers

  My wife and I were turned away over New Year as silver members on a flight booked via Finnair but operated by BA, which I felt was harsh. It seemed like the lounge was very busy though and with the recent construction work, half of the lounge was closed.
