The long-standing Etihad and American Express tie-up offers 10% off Etihad flights in Economy, Business and First Class, provided you enter the first 4 numbers of an American Express card when booking on this page.

This additional discount was due to expire on 31 December 2016, so the good news is that it has been extended to 30 June 2017.

The discount is widely applicable, valid on all Economy Saver, Economy Value, Economy Freedom, Business Saver, Business Value, Business Freedom and First Freedom fares (excluding those for children/infants).

An example

Taking the random example of London Heathrow to Tokyo, you will clearly see when you book which flights are eligible for the discount as they will have a yellow star next to them, like this:

(Outbound flight)

(Return flight)

The resultant saving will then be clearly displayed to you:

(I’m not quite sure why this isn’t reduced by £186, but it’s more or less there).

While 10% may seem like a somewhat token saving, I have used this offer to good effect on a couple of occasions now and given the sometimes very low prices saver fares on Etihad, it really can chip further cash off good value flights.

Of course, as we have previously flagged, the Etihad premium product is a fantastic one, both in Business and First Class.
