Latest News About Etihad Airways Manage Booking

Here’s the latest I can share about Etihad Airways’ manage booking situation for your planning in London.

Core answer

• Etihad Airways has been operating a limited flight schedule and has offered extended fee-free rebooking and refunds for eligible tickets as part of its contingency response in early 2026. For travel disruptions, customers with bookings issued on or before a cut-off date could rebook without fare differences within a specified window, and refunds were available through their self-service options. This aligns with their ongoing guidance to use official channels (Manage Booking, etihad.com/manage) for changes and to verify status before traveling. [Sources cited inline below.]

Details and guidance

• Manage your booking online: The official Manage Booking portal lets you view itineraries, update contact details, add extras (baggage, seats), check in, download boarding passes, and request changes or special services. If your booking was made through a travel agent, changes may need to go through them. This is the primary self-service route for most travellers today.

• Extended rebooking and refunds: In response to travel disruptions, Etihad extended its fee-free rebooking window for affected tickets through a defined date range, and refunds remained available via the self-service portal. This was part of a phased resumption plan from Abu Dhabi with careful scheduling. [visaHQ reporting on Etihad extends free rebooking to May 15, 2026][1]
• Limited schedule and travel guidance: Etihad has been circulating guidance about limited flights from Abu Dhabi, advising passengers to confirm bookings and use official channels to avoid scams. Status updates and any waivers are typically communicated through their official channels and media partners. [Gulf News coverage on travel guidance][8][9]
• Important note for London-based travellers: If you have an Etihad itinerary, check the Manage Booking tool first for any available rebooking or refund options, and monitor Etihad’s official site or trusted media for any updates specific to your travel dates.[2][8]
