Is there an Etihad promotion code for the up to 50% off.
Hi Darren,
Thanks for your question.
We don’t have any available promo codes for Etihad right now. You can visit this page from time to time to check.
Cheers,

HI,
Again I look at 35% discount off Etihad flights but they are the same as the Etihad site.
I can’t see a promo code anywhere. This is a bit misleading as same price.
Hi Darren,
Thanks for reaching out.
Unfortunately, we do not have any Etihad promo codes now. What we feature on our page are special deals that Etihad offers on their website. We will post new promo codes once available.
Cheers,
Anndy
Round the world fares from perth
Hi Chris,
While we don’t sell flights directly, if you’re looking for a round-the-world fare from Perth we can definitely point you in the right direction.
Etihad doesn’t sell ’round-the-world’ tickets, but it does allow you to purchase a multi-city ticket with up to six flights/routes of your choice included. A few other places you could look are Helloworld and STA Travel.
Hope that helps,
Alex
