Etihad upgrades

and extras

From a fully-flat bed on board to our meet and assist services at the airport; our upgrades and extras let guests choose the experience they prefer at a price they can afford. Pick a seat, book extra baggage or arrange an upgrade to Business or First quickly and easily through your GDS.

Seats and baggage

Reserve a window seat, keep up to three seats free, or stretch out with extra legroom – everyone has a favourite place to sit on board. Seats are available to purchase any time from booking until one hour before the flight. Etihad Guest members can book a seat for free, depending on their Tier level. 

And if your guests need to check in additional baggage, they’ll save up to 65% when they buy excess baggage up to 30 hours before they fly. 

Discount applies to Etihad Airways operated flights only.

We’re simplifying our fares to Basic, Value, Comfort and Deluxe, giving your customers the freedom to pick the perks they prefer when they fly. Check out our new fare brands here.

Subject to their fare, guests can pay to reserve a seat in Economy Class any time from when they book your ticket up to one hour before they fly. 

 

They can choose a seat in our Forward, Middle or Rear zones, depending on where they’d like to sit on the plane and availability. Or if they’d prefer to stretch out, they can pick an Extra legroom seat, or an exit row seat. 

 

Exit row seats are located next to an emergency exit. To book an Exit row seat, guests must meet certain safety criteria, as outlined in our terms and conditions.
