Many emails exchanged and even in cases where the boarding pass clearly states the EY number -- nothing happens. You can never talk to a real person to get your Etihad Guest stuff fixed. Just saying - maybe they would have more elites using the lounge if they actually reasonably addressed frequent fliers' needs. As it is now - travelers who fly very frequently and at some point try to establish loyalty eventually give up. Not a good way to drive up premium traffic, and, ergo, an empty lounge.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-81436653393061682962016-11-03T22:37:44.536+01:002016-11-03T22:37:44.536+01:00Actually, not completely true.
