Etihad "Discount"

[Why Always Ste]

Has anyone been recieving the Etihad City Supporter Deals via Email?

Out of general interest I attempted to book three seperate flights via Etihad.com/mcfcdiscount I also used my SeasonCard discount and noted the total price I had to pay.

I then went directly to Etihad's own website, bought the same flight(s) and noted the total price for each individual flight.

The flights were much cheaper when I booked through Etihad's own website, the prices were over-inflated through the MCFC section and were much dearer even when including the apparent seasoncard "discount"

I also used another third-party flight website and they offered much reduced tickets than both the official Etihad website and the mcfc website.

So, the emails for me were misleading. I thought I was getting a discount, when I was actually getting a different price for being a 'City fan, but given a slight discount to soften the blow.

Btw, I've flown Etihad a few times and I rate them as the best Airways I've ever flown with.

Have you told the club about this? They should be informed about this apparent scam.

Tried this yesterday for my flights to Straya. £1500-1600 they wanted, so they lost business and ive booked with Emirates at a reasonable £980.

Unfortunately, it's the sort of shoddy behaviour that characterises many business in the UAE. They tend to be very into 'SALE', 'DISCOUNT', 'FREE' over here without actually giving away anything at all.

The thing is bud, the discount email(s) I've been recieving have been sent from @mcfc.co.uk email addresses...

But we can still complain anyway, because doing as such is obnoxious.

LoL, I haven't actually complained yet, This is why I posted my finding's on here to see if anyone else has noticed this.

it seems as though we are getting a good deal being city fans, using our sponsors city page and then our seasoncard discount but the FACT is we are being ripped off when compared to just going directly to Etihad, or booking on another third party flight site

I book my Air Berlin flights via Etihad and get a much cheaper deal. I think the key is to shop around, but Etihad are linked to so many airlines and websites.
