While this may be a little hard for some to swallow, you can get 10% off Etihad flights worldwide if you sign up to Etihad’s free Manchester City FC fan club, Sky Blue.

You will first need to be a member of Etihad’s loyalty programme, Etihad Guest, to do so (join for free,  here). When you sign up, you will be sent an Etihad promo code entitling you to the 10% discount.

If you can live with joining Sky Blue, other benefits on top of the 10% flight discount include: 

• 10% discount on any Etihad Holidays booking.(UAE and UK members only)
• 10% discount on tours of the Etihad Stadium.
• 5% discount on all MCFC merchandise bought online.

For further details on the benefits, visit: www.skyblue.mcfc.com.

This of course all springs from Etihad’s extended sponsorship of  Manchester City, which in itself is based on the heavy Abu Dhabi investment in the club.

If you really can’t bring yourself to sign up to Sky Blue (I’m a football fan, I know how their brains work sometimes) then you can also get 10% off Etihad flights if you’re an American Express cardholder.
