When you book an award ticket via etihad on buisness is it flagship buisness or regular? How do you know if an award ticket is flagship?

Hi Jay,
It depends on which route you are flying. If you let me know your point of origin and destination I can help you out!

I bought a ticket from SFO to Geneva, Switzerland last month. I used Marriott Bonvoy points to purchase the ticket. They no longer provide the 5,000 bonus points for every 60,000 points transferred to American Airlines.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for pointing that out – I’ve just corrected the post.

Good day.
I booked my return flagship first flight JFK to LAX awhile ago for September. It no longer says Flagship for first class. It does still say Flagship Business. I’m finding this often on this route. Will I still get Flagship First treatment/amenities? I booked this to experience it again before they get rid of it. At least my flight LAX to MIA is still coming up Flagship First.

Hi Linda! This would be a great question for AA’s Special Assistance team who can advise you regarding your wheelchair. Thanks for reading!
