Etihad Global Sale – stackable with 10% Amex discount. £1597 UK to Philippines,

Etihad Airways have released their “Global Sale” for immediate booking. Most routes between Europe, Asia and Australia are on offer. These include flights between the usual, big destinations of Dublin, London, Manchester, Germany, Abu Dhabi, Tokyo, Singapore, Manila, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne.

The beauty of this sale is that it is stackable with the 10% discount if you pay with an American Express credit card. I posted a few days ago. (If you don't have an American Express yet and live in the UK or The Netherlands, then send me an email info [at] pointstobemade.com and I can send you a referral link to the Gold card which contains a higher sign-up bonus than if you did it alone)

You need to book by 19th January 2019, for travel between 1st February – 3rd December 2019.

True to its name the Global Sale is being offered in several countries at once. UK, Ireland, Germany, Australia to name a few. To see if it is being run in your desired country, Go to the Global homepage which will re-direct to wherever you are, then click on “Deals” then “View all deals”.

Somewhat surprising is that best deals are from the United Kingdom, although the offerings from other countries are decent too. The headline prices are as follows (and don't forget 10% of the base fare component is further reduced).

From Manchester:

• Abu Dhabi – £1992
• Manila – £1749
• Bangkok – £1799
• Singapore – £1995
• Tokyo – £1999
• Sydney – £3249

From London Heathrow:

• Phuket – £1999

I did a test booking and can confirm the 10% discount is indeed stackable.
