Etihad to Athens
Do you have any idea why Etihad is not pricing awards on the new nonstop from Newark-Athens on their website? I have tried multiple times and I keep getting an error page.
Backtracking most likely. Might need to get 2 separate awards, which it will be anyway as that is how they price their redemptions. You can call and have them combine the 2 tickets into a single PNR or just call to ticket it.
Do they fly out of EWR?

It’s Emirates that has this flight
Hello Cliff.
As MarkS said this is Emirates, not Etihad

EK is not an AA partner. And Alaska who is Emirates biggest US partner does not allow direct US-EU awards on EK, only flights connecting in DXB on route to EU.

Correct, it is Emirates and I understand that you can’t book with AA or Alaska. I’m having the same issue too. I would just like to see the price on Emirates skyrewards even. I’m sure the fuel surcharges would be exorbitant, but I want to test it out anyway seeing as they are an Amex partner.
They may not have posted award inventory. Have you tried calling in?
