Understanding GuestSeats

GuestSeats are award seats reserved exclusively for Etihad Guest members. They follow the structure of regular fares, offering flexibility, choice, and value.

Seats are limited and issued on a first-come, first-served basis, encouraging members to book early to secure preferred routes and cabins.

In addition to Etihad-operated flights, GuestSeats are also available through more than 40 codeshare partners. This makes the program one of the most expansive among non-alliance airlines, providing members with a wide selection of global travel options.
