Etihad Increase Luggage Allowance.

[CharlieH]

Got an email announcing Etihad are increasing luggage allowance up to 30kg for economy, plus if you are a Guest member (Silver) you can add another 10kg giving a whopping 40kg for Economy passengers.

Yes I know, but its always good to know of alternatives and in most cases Etihad is cheaper than Emirates.

I used to fly with them regularly untill they lowered their baggage allowance about two years ago when I stopped using them.I wrote them and said it was a not a clever move,I have been using Emirates since for my 30 kgs.Good to know I have another option again from Manchester uk

Yep, it's really useful having the extra luggage allowance. I have started using Etihad recently, and can't fault them. With my card now I get 40k, so no way will I be flying with any airlines doing 20k in Economy. The biz class flightswith Etihad are pretty reasonable to.

Does this allowance apply to flights already booked?, or is it just for new bookings.

All flights, I flew back yesterday and had done a lot of shopping in the UK, so the increase was very welcome
