Using the Skyscanner app there is a glitch to get crazy cheap flights to Europe. Will likely get refunded, but you miss 100% of the shots you don't take!!

  1. Download/Open Skyscanner app
  2. Search one way flights to Berlin
  3. Select Etihad flights and Etihad as the provider
  4. Final page price should adjust to ~$142
  5. Cross your toes and fingers that this holds up (lol)

I chose Melbourne to Berlin leaving June 24.09.23 but have seen friends get Sydney to Berlin. Worth trying with other European cities

Happy hunting!

    Muzeeb strikes again

  • One way :d

    • May be you find a misses there and decide to stay there ? who knows ?

    • Points flight back, even in economy would be worth it, compared to one way cash ticket. cheap trip

  • Wish I wasn't sleepin would have loved travelling to europe first time and that too for so cheap next year

    Anyway good for those who got it

    Good on Op on posting but unfortunately probably sacrificed himself and his friends chance of getting these flights.. lol

    • +5

      There should be some funds allocated by Ozb for such selfless OPs, in case these errors are not honored.

      Haha thanks mate. The rate that this was circling though I doubt I was one of the early adopters. I think I got in just at the right time. Great way to spice up the end of my week though! No news yet from Eithad but watch this space

      this is why i never post deals/hacks, currently milking a food app to the tune of thousands

      • +2

        You're not alone

      • What food hack?! Care to share via DM?

        • I think i accidently discovered it.
          Is it a unlimited fixed amount under $50

      • I once found a hack to get free $75 gift cards which was fully legit
        Also a promo code which gave me unlimited access to free digital gift cards for a website but that was ages ago.
        I did enjoy it while it lasted

      • Care to share via DM please?

          Might be door dash refer yourself. $30 to your account and then 3 x $20 vouchers to new account = $90 per day if your game
          Needs a new mobile number but there are ways around that

    Wowee…here to see if its honoured

  • The price for these 'tickets' was actually just the fees+taxes, so no actual money was charged for the actual fare. The fact that this wasn't technically a 'reduced' price means its unlikely to be honoured but i'll be happy to eat my words!

    I don’t mind grabbing anyone tickets if they can’t go, I’m on a long uni break ;)

    • +2

      I’m sure they’ll happily allow name changes on these tickets..

    • Ok grab me some then, and I can't go.

  • Seeing if they honour it

    Booked my family, thanks OP

    • Is it still working for you?

  • +1

    Here with popcorn

  • Looks like they've honoured pricing errors in the past, albeit 8 years ago, pre-covid, pre-huge losses, pre-Russia war and fuel increases but you might get lucky, or you might not.

    Just appeared on Sunrise 7 so probably going to be honoured

    • +1

      Don’t think that means too much

    • In what capacity? Did someone from Etihad say flights were on sale or was it just a passing comment about the cheap fares being available for a short time?

      • Just a passing comment that some lucky Aussies got return Etihad flight to Berlin for less than $300 via Skyscanner

  • Is it just to Berlin or did others manage to find fares to other cities?

  • +1

    Was just on tv this morning Ch.7.

    • with this much media coverage the airline may have no choice but to honour the bookings

  • Cant see Etihad as an option anymore

  • Following to see if anybody managed to score this amazing deal :)

    Was half hoping it wouldn't show up on here and that it wasn't that widespread.
    Got return Syd-Berlin business class end of next month for $336 can't really see it not getting cancelled though

    • Definitely interested to see what sort of communication you get from the airline and whether it does in fact get cancelled or not..

    • If any airline will honour it, it will be one from the oil region.

      • Not too sure about that. I had flights canceled by Etihad in 2020 when Covid broke. They refused to refund for a long time despite the t&c and only after AU government talked to them.

  • Get ready for fuel prices to go up. They will cover these air tickets loss from there.

    • Airlines generally lose money when fuel prices go up.

  • Following thread

  • I would absolutely go on TV as free advertising if they honour these

    • I assume they are being honoured since nobody has mentioned their tickets being cancelled. Think they would have cancelled by now if they were going to.

      • True, but I'd also think the same if they were going to be honoured.. They may as well make the most of it publicity-wise

    Update: a friend of mine is currently in the air flying business class to Europe for $142

    • This gives me confidence for mine next week

    • Amazing. Up there in best deal conversation

  • Waiting for the next Price Error as missed out this time. Love to be in Europe first time with family

    Cancelled.

    A number of tickets on Etihad flights were sold incorrectly due to a glitch in a data system supplied by a third party. We located all bookings that were made as a result and your booking is associated with this.

    Whilst the correct price was shown in the initial booking process at the time of payment, you were only asked to pay the taxes which was charged to your credit card.

    Our Conditions of Carriage set out the steps which are followed in such situations.

    We are working through bookings made and will be cancelling tickets issued and refund the amount you actually paid for the taxes back to your credit card.

    We welcome you to make a new booking at the correct fare that should have been collected at the time of booking.

    Thank you for your support in this matter.

  • Someone I know had their business ticket cancelled.

    Rip cheap tickets.

  • +1

    My booking cancelled as well as 5+ friends of mine who also booked. Who's got the Scoot deal?

  • RIP… It was fun while it lasted. At least I know of one person who travelled a business class seat to Europe before they closed the gates to the kingdom

    • Sneaked in just in time. Hope the return ticket back wasn’t cancelled though.

      • They may ask them to pay before they allow you to check in and give you your boarding pass. I've had it happen under different circumstances when my travel agent changed my flights for me which they said had no additional cost. Got to airport and they said i had to pay extra. Have also recently seen someone else have to pay extra when they arrived at airport for return flight before they were allowed to check in but under different circumstances again so they do have the ability to charge later on.

    • Did your friend book before you posted? If so, most ones who did after are getting cancelled it seems

  • RIP, only 3 days until I was due to leave as well… :(

    Still mine not cancelled

    • +1

      The email seemed to make out like it was a pretty manual process. I'm assuming because our tickets still showed the full price.

  • In before people now whinge about how long it is going to take for a refund and mention ACCC

    • I’m not whinging, I knew what I was getting into.

        Apologies, i missed the part where i said 'Vodamerc'

      People buying them knowing it is a price error and then complaining when they are cancelled are the issue.

      • Who's complaining?

        • +1

          Guess you didnt read any of the news articles about the cancellation?

  • Channel 9 doing a story on this tonight. Just saw it on the ad break promo.

    Likely the glitch was too widely spread before it even got posted here. Had it of been just us that knew about it, could of been a different result.

    • -3

      Had it of been

      Seriously? I guess you skimped on your English lessons.

    sucked in to those that thought they were gonna fly to europe cheaply

  • +1

    Few years ago I got to London with Singapore Airlines for about $700 when Virgin was selling them and messed up.

    You got to be in it to win it or else sit on the side and cry once it expires and it does not get cancelled.

    • Yeah, $600 to China on VA/SQ return ex Hobart. And status credits and points on top!

  • Was this ever honored?

    • Not unless they missed cancelling your ticket or you departed before the cancelled, although they may make you pay more before they give you your boarding pass to return.
