Hi Guys

 

Also received this email today here it is in full for you guys to look at.

 

You can now benefit from more clarity and choice with our new baggage policy. Effective 14 September 2015, tickets issued on or after this date will follow the new baggage policy.

Most routes will now operate on a piece concept basis. This means that you are entitled to one, two, or three bags, depending on your Fare Choice, route, and Etihad Guest membership status.

 

Fare Choices, which will also be launched on 14 September 2015, offers you the option to choose your ticket flexibility, baggage allowance, and many other benefits. From the 14th onwards, depending on the fare paid, you will receive a different set of benefits. In Economy Class that has an impact on your baggage allowance. The Fare Choices in Economy Class are: Economy Breaking Deals, Economy Saver, Economy Value and Economy Freedom.
