Etihad slashes prices up to 50 per cent on flights to new destinations

emirates7 - Etihad Airways is marking its rapid global expansion with a special three-day flash sale exclusively for members of its Etihad Guest loyalty program. Running from Sunday, August 31, to Tuesday, September 2, the promotion offers discounts of up to 50 percent on GuestSeat fares for several of the airline’s newly launched destinations this year.

The UAE’s national carrier has been on a strong growth path in 2025, adding 18 new destinations across four continents, bringing its global network to more than 80 cities.

To celebrate this milestone, Etihad is offering its loyalty members 50 percent off Economy GuestSeat fares, along with 30 percent off Business and First Class fares. The discounted tickets apply to travel starting from the inaugural flights of the new routes through December 15, 2025.

Members can use Etihad Guest Miles, or a mix of miles and cash, to purchase these tickets. To make the offer even more accessible, miles can also be transferred from more than 50 exchange partners.

Mark Potter, Managing Director of Etihad Guest, said the GuestSeat program is one of the most valuable aspects of membership, turning miles into memorable travel experiences. He added that the sale is designed to give members an exclusive chance to explore exciting new destinations at highly attractive rates.

Discounted flights from Abu Dhabi include routes to Addis Ababa, Algiers, Chiang Mai, Hanoi, Hong Kong, Krabi, Medan (Sumatra), Peshawar, Phnom Penh, and Tunis. For members with fewer miles, the promotion allows participation through part-miles, part-cash payments. For example, an Economy ticket to Ethiopia can be booked for 6,500 miles plus a cash balance. Featured deals include a First Suite to Krabi from 84,000 miles, a Business Class seat to Phnom Penh from 49,000 miles, and an Economy seat to Hong Kong for only 15,000 miles.
