To get an upgrade on Etihad: join Etihad Guest loyalty program, earn miles through flights or partners, and apply them for upgrades. Check for bid-for-upgrade options at booking or during online check-in. Elite members and business class fares are more likely to get complimentary upgrades based on availability

I actually managed to get upgraded on Etihad last year when flying from Abu Dhabi to New York. I originally booked economy but decided to ask about upgrade options a week before my trip. I called 877-764-3622, and the agent explained the different ways it could work — using Etihad Guest miles, paying for an upgrade, or even bidding through their upgrade program. I had just enough miles saved up, and with their help, I switched into business class. The experience was incredible — lie-flat seat, great meals, and I actually landed rested for once. Later, when I needed to adjust a connecting flight, I used the same number and it was just as quick. If you’re looking to instantly book, cancel, or modify Etihad flights — or explore upgrades — that number is definitely the fastest way to get it done.
