Etihad Airways allows refunds for seat selection only under certain circumstances, such as when the airline cancels your flight or changes your aircraft type, affecting your chosen seat [1] [833] [770] [3304]. However, voluntary cancellations or changes made by passengers usually make seat selection fees non-refundable [1] [833] [770] [3304]. Always double-check the fare rules and terms before confirming your seat purchase [1] [833] [770] [3304].
FAQ 1: When can I claim a seat selection refund from Etihad Airways?
Refunds are allowed if Etihad cancels your flight, changes your aircraft type, or reassigns your seat for operational reasons [1] [833] [770] [3304]. If you cancel the trip or change your booking voluntarily, the seat fee will not be refunded [1] [833] [770] [3304]. Reading the fine print before purchasing helps avoid confusion later [1] [833] [770] [3304].
FAQ 2: How can I request a seat refund with Etihad Airways?
You can apply for a refund through Etihad’s “Manage My Booking” portal or by contacting their support center [1] [833] [770] [3304]. Provide your booking reference, payment details, and reason for the request [1] [833] [770] [3304]. Refunds are usually processed within 7–14 working days, depending on your payment method [1] [833] [770] [3304].
FAQ 3: Can I transfer my paid seat to another flight?
Etihad doesn’t allow transferring paid seats to another flight unless the airline initiates the change [1] [833] [770] [3304]. If Etihad reschedules or cancels your trip, you might receive a travel credit or seat reassignment for free [1] [833] [770] [3304]. It’s always best to confirm your options directly with customer care [1] [833] [770] [3304].
